Sinossi

A “fresh, intense, erotic, funny, and scary” novel of vampiric horror from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Stillhouse Lake novels (P.N. Elrod, author of Drawing Dead and Other Stories). After eight years of marriage, surgeon Mike Bowman and his police officer wife have snuck time into their busy schedules to celebrate their anniversary. But work is never far from Mike’s mind, which is why he finds himself in the morgue in the middle of night instead of in his wife’s arms . . .    Trying to come to terms with two young murder victims he wasn’t able to save, Mike unburdens himself to his friend and morgue attendant Adam Radburn. Good ol’ Adam, whose eyes seem bizarrely dark tonight and whose reflection in the cold storage drawers . . . doesn’t exist.    When Adam reveals his true self to Mike—and saves him from the clutches of death—Mike goes from a man trained to save lives to one who must take them to survive. And though Mike is now immune to mortal dangers, there are new threats to contend with and worse creatures who walk the Earth. One has been tracking Adam for centuries. To satisfy his bloodlust, he’s willing to destroy everyone Adam holds dear—including his new offspring.  “In The Undead, vampires lurk menacingly, and they are not the cute, cuddly, romantic-type vampires of modern urban fiction. These are serious, life-threatening, blood-sucking, kill-you-till-you’re-dead vampires . . . [A] diamond in the rough.” —Rambles

    Title: The Imp of the Perverse 
Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1845 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 44 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling exploration of the human compulsion toward self-destruction — that sinister whisper urging us to do precisely what we know we must not. Told in Poe’s hypnotic, confessional style, the story begins as a philosophical essay on impulse and perversity, then descends into the fevered confession of a murderer undone by his own mind. 
This tale reveals Poe at his most psychologically incisive, dissecting guilt, pride, and the dark delight of defiance. Beneath its gothic calm lies a truth as disturbing now as in 1845 — that the greatest horror may be found not in the supernatural, but in the secret architecture of the human soul. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes Poe’s morbid eloquence and the relentless pull of conscience that drives his doomed narrator to madness. While the text 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 masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Imp of the Perversestands as one of Poe’s most haunting studies of inner torment — a reminder that sometimes, the truest demon wears our own face.

    An experimental surgery. A plague of suicides. Through layering pieces of testimony, the connection between these events leads to a startling conclusion.  
Inspired by a trip to a graveyard in Wales, the novella was originally not well received. The Great God Pan is now considered an excellent example of Gothic fiction, and has influenced such writers as Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury.

    If you loved The Haunting of Hill House, welcome to Thistlecrook… 
It’s 1923 and at Thistlecrook House, a forbidding home on the Scottish border, the roaring twenties seem not to have arrived. But Simon Christie has – a young man who can’t believe his luck when he gets a job cataloguing the infamous art collection of the Mordrake family. Yet from the moment he gets off the train at the deserted village station he can’t shift a headache and a sense that there’s more to the House and its gruesome selection of pictures. 
Simon’s host is glad of his company, but he gets the feeling the house is not so welcoming. As his questions about the Mordrakes grow, he finds answers in surprising places. But someone is not pleased that old secrets are stirring. 
As night falls each evening, and a growing sense of unease roils in the shifting shadows around him, Simon must decide what he can trust and ask if he can believe what he sees in the dusk or if his mind is poisoned by what has happened before in this place between lands, between light and dark. 
In the historical and gothic setting of Thistlecrook House, Simon Christie finds himself entangled in a web of supernatural occurrences that challenge his sanity. The best of horror and thrillers, Mathew West's THE HOUSE OF FOOTSTEPS is a chilling exploration of the unseen and the unimaginable. 
For fans of Margery Allingham (The Tiger in the Smoke), Jess Kidd (The Night Ship), Elizabeth Macneal (The Burial Plot), Rebecca Netley (The Black Feathers), and Susan Stokes-Chapman (Pandora).

    Title: The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar 
Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1845 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 48 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most macabre and unsettling tales — a dark blend of science, mesmerism, and the boundaries of death itself. 
Told in the clinical yet horrified voice of a mesmerist, the story recounts an experiment performed on a dying man — one meant to test whether the human spirit can be held between life and death by hypnosis. What follows is a grotesque and unforgettable account of suspended mortality, decomposition, and the terrible price of curiosity. 
A masterpiece of Gothic horror and proto-science fiction, Poe’s tale remains as shocking today as it was in 1845 — a story that anticipates both modern medical ethics and the existential terror of consciousness trapped beyond the grave. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels Poe’s eerie precision and the suffocating dread of the impossible made real. While the text 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 masters of the macabre and uncanny, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar endures as one of Poe’s most chilling studies in the unnatural stillness between death and decay — where science dares to trespass upon the soul.
