    Title: The Upper Berth 
    Author: F. Marion Crawford 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1886 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 31 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford is one of the most chilling ghost stories ever set upon the sea — a tale of isolation, disbelief, and a horror that defies explanation. A seasoned traveler boards an Atlantic steamer and takes lodging in a cabin known for its peculiar reputation. When strange noises, cold drafts, and unexplainable presences begin to disturb the night, curiosity turns to terror — and the truth behind the “upper berth” is revealed in a climax of pure dread. 
    Crawford’s mastery lies in his restrained realism and his ability to build unbearable tension from the ordinary. What begins as a skeptical sailor’s anecdote becomes a haunting confrontation with something that refuses to stay beneath the waves. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the claustrophobic suspense and mounting fear of Crawford’s maritime masterpiece. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the dark legends of classic horror, The Upper Berth remains a cornerstone of the ghost story tradition — a tale where disbelief drowns in the face of the uncanny. 
    Prepare for a voyage into the unknown — where the sea is not the only thing that stirs at night, and the upper berth waits for its next occupant.

    Rosy Winter is dying.  Her husband, Charlie—sweet but out of his depth—tries to be supportive. Her sister-in-law, Sally, is too distracted by her own problems to help. Her students, once a source of delight, are now a daily reminder of Rosy's mortality. So, Rosy succumbs to anguish, allowing a force—murderous, sensual, feverish—to awaken and stir within her. An embodiment of her rage, a twisted joie de vivre, ripping recompense from the world around her.  A powerful feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic classic, Mrs. Jekyll is a brilliant, evocative, and lyrical story of one woman's refusal to yield her passion for life, even as her body betrays her.

    A haunting gothic thriller about legacy, grief, and the haunted echoes of family secrets. 
    Some inheritances should be left to the dead. 
    Blair Graves doesn’t believe in ghosts—she grew up watching her father chase them for a living. His disappearance years ago was just one more reason to write off the supernatural as nonsense. 
    After selling her family’s estate to cover her brother’s gambling debts, Blair sinks what’s left of her savings into a crumbling mansion known as Solomon House, hoping the project will fill the void left by loss and regret. But as strange sounds echo through its halls and flickers of movement appear in dark corners, Blair begins to question everything she thought she knew about her father, the Solomons who built the house, and herself. 
    When an online paranormal investigator named Cash arrives, eager to document the haunting, the lines between skepticism and belief blur—and the ghosts of Solomon House begin to reveal the truth about what happened there, and what still lingers within. 
    Richly atmospheric and emotionally charged, The Haunting of Solomon House is a gothic psychological thriller about family secrets, grief, and the stories that refuse to die—perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, and Darcy Coates.

    The Eldridge House is not like other haunted houses. It does not have the smashed windows that stare out like eyes at the world, its windows have never been smashed. Nobody in Moulton would dare. For generations the house and its grounds, laid with gravel and slate, have haunted the nightmares of the towns's residents. Bound up in myth, urban legend and folklore it is a monolith, terrifying and unapproachable. 
    Until that is an outsider arrives in town. Undaunted by the local folklore he determines to unpick the houses' terrible history and the stories that have grown up around it, to test the limits of the folklore and if need be to dismiss and disprove the stories completely.
