  The Tomb

  Guy de Maupassant

  Title: The Tomb 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1917 (first published 1922) 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 26 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Tomb by H. P. Lovecraft is a tale of ancestral obsession, forbidden curiosity, and the thin veil separating memory from madness. It follows Jervas Dudley, a solitary dreamer fascinated by an ancient mausoleum belonging to the long-dead Hyde family. Drawn by an irresistible pull, he becomes consumed by the mystery of the tomb — and by the eerie sense that his destiny is entwined with the dead within. 
  Through Lovecraft’s early mastery of gothic atmosphere and psychological unease, The Tomb explores themes of hereditary memory, morbid fixation, and the haunting persistence of the past. What begins as mere curiosity descends into a dreamlike horror, where identity and sanity unravel among the shadows of the grave. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the dark romanticism and creeping dread of Lovecraft’s vision — a descent into the spectral corridors of the mind. While the text resides in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classic works of horror and the uncanny, The Tomb bridges gothic tradition and cosmic dread — a haunting meditation on the lure of the past and the peril of those who cannot let the dead rest. 
  Listeners should prepare for a story where fascination becomes fate, where dreams trespass upon death, and where the past itself refuses to stay buried.

  Edith Nesbit - Six of the Best –...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  Petals that Breathe: Secret Journeys of inadequacies and outcomes that could have been otherwise. 
  These stories bring to life the secret journeys of inadequacies amidst hardships, fun moments, and events that could have been otherwise. Sometimes we are born with inadequacies, or we acquire these due to an untoward event. Most often, this is an unavoidable situation. And we live with these often throughout life. Though the world has evolved in many different areas, there remains a caveat in dealing with a personal crisis. The drawbacks are a social stigma, an identity crisis, the fear of failure, non-acceptance, and other such insecurities. These remain deeply engraved but hardly spoken about and often unacknowledged. There is a dilemma to express, seek advice or solutions for the same. Self-imposed restrictions may lead to self-injury or injuring others. It is high time that people realize their potential and aspirations in fields they can explore, enjoy working in, and channel their energies in the right direction. Also, important that society be more sensitive and accommodating, and rather facilitate a positive thought process and growth. 
  Let’s listen to some such intriguing, and soul-stirring journeys inspired by real-life stories. Do you want to know about the promising young woman who took up a job and could not cope with it? The story of a couple who lived a seemingly good life but had no kids. No one realized what could be the issue until one was brutally murdered. Few stories revolve around the life of doctors and the bitter, sweet, and sour experiences in their routine lives. How they see the innermost crevices of such people, hidden facts, desires, and nuances of life. 
  Did these troubled souls find empathy, reflect within, ask for help, and uplift themselves? What happened exactly? Each situation was so different. Hope you have a good time listening to these thought-provoking stories!
