Sinossi

In this dramatic, action-packed novel of the Vietnam War, U.S. Marine troops encounter North Vietnamese soldiers in the jungle. In war, every action has a beginning and an end . . .Echo Among Warriors is a story of close combat between two opposing, equally committed adversaries. The powerful narrative immerses the reader in both sides of the battle, playing and replaying the same battle sequence from alternating viewpoints—through the eyes of the Marines and through the eyes of the North Vietnamese. The bullet fired from a Marine’s M-16 at a silhouetted enemy soldier crouched on the jungle path will in the next chapter tear into the flesh of that crouched NVA trooper. The story—unfolding from the initial contact to the final horrific ending—represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle—a mind-numbing, intensely personal experience that forever changes the participant.Praise for Echo Among Warriors “An intense, you-are-there, fictionalized consideration of close-quarters fighting during the American war in Vietnam. The final ten chapters are as realistically and breathlessly action-packed as you will read anywhere.” —The VVA Veteran “Incredible detail . . . great read. . . . I know once I started reading it, it would be non-stop, and it was.” —Major Fred Allison USMC (Ret).

    Title: Gabriel-Ernest 
    Author: Saki (H. H. Munro) 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1909 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 55 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Gabriel-Ernest is one of Saki’s most unsettling tales — a quiet yet chilling brush with something wild, feral, and possibly inhuman hiding within the English countryside. 
    The story begins when a landowner encounters a strange, naked boy in the woods, a youth who speaks calmly of hunting animals… and children. Though outwardly human, the boy’s presence carries an undercurrent of danger, his nature hinted at but never fully revealed. Taken into a household under the name Gabriel Ernest, he quickly becomes an eerie and disruptive force — a creature of the forest wearing the shape of a child. 
    With its blend of wit, unease, and understated menace, Gabriel-Ernest stands as a prime example of Saki’s ability to inject horror into the everyday. The tension arises not from gore or spectacle, but from the chilling possibility that civilization is only a thin veil over something older and more predatory. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Saki’s atmospheric dread and subtle terror to life. While the text is firmly 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, Gabriel-Ernest remains a haunting reminder that not every monster announces itself — some simply walk beside us, smiling.
