Beschreibung

The Collected Works of Richard Marsh (Illustrated Edition) serves as a comprehensive anthology of the influential yet often underappreciated literature of Richard Marsh, a key figure in Gothic fiction at the turn of the 20th century. This illustrated edition provides readers with a rich tapestry of his narratives, showcasing Marsh's distinctive style characterized by intricate plots, psychological depth, and an unsettling ambiance. The selection not only highlights his mastery of suspense and horror but also places his work within the context of Victorian anxieties surrounding science, gender, and identity, making it a vital contribution to the Gothic literary canon. Richard Marsh (1857-1914) was a contemporary of luminaries such as Bram Stoker and Arthur Machen, drawing inspiration from the shifting cultural landscape of his era. His experiences as a traveler and a keen observer of societal norms informed his narratives, embodying the complexities of human nature. Marsh's personal struggles with identity'Äîthemes evident in his writing'Äîreflect his profound engagement with contemporary debates around modernity and morality, positioning him as a forerunner of psychological and supernatural exploration in literature. This illustrated edition is an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Gothic literature, as it not only revives Marsh's notable works but also deepens our understanding of the genre's evolution. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in thrilling and thought-provoking storytelling will find Marsh's collected works a captivating journey into the depths of the human psyche, amplified by striking illustrations that enhance the reading experience.

    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.

    A family moves into a farmhouse in a quiet English village—but mysterious events a century earlier haunt their new home . . . In 1916, the Great War is underway and Henry has been called up, leaving his wife and three children in their North Yorkshire farmhouse.
