Summary

She didn't change her face, gently withdrew her hand and walked to the front of the playback screen. The screen was replaying the scene of her jumping from the 88th floor, when she jumped in her heart she was a little scared, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly. Although it was only a small detail, even the director did not discover it, but in Fan Hi's heart, it became an eye-catching defect.

    Title: The Rats in the Walls 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1924 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 15 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Rats in the Walls by H. P. Lovecraft is a nightmarish descent into ancestral horror and madness. First published in 1924, this tale follows a man who restores his family’s ancestral estate — only to uncover a terrifying secret lurking beneath its crumbling walls. 
As he explores the ruins, strange noises echo through the corridors: the relentless scurrying of unseen rats. What begins as superstition soon reveals itself as a chilling connection to unspeakable horrors from the past. Lovecraft weaves themes of inherited guilt, cosmic dread, and the fragility of sanity into one of his most unforgettable stories. 
This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie atmosphere and rising terror that defines Lovecraft’s vision. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a dedicated series bringing classic horror back to life — stories from the great masters of the macabre, narrated afresh to haunt a new generation. 
Listeners should be prepared for creeping suspense, ancestral curses, and the inescapable pull of madness echoing through the dark.

    An American commands a subchaser herding a convoy across the Atlantic through horrific weather during World War I in this engaging novel.

“Parotti’s expertly detailed accounts make for constant tension.” —The Historical Novels Review 
 
Phillip Parotti’s new novel chronicles the fast-paced action of a collection of American submarine chasers as they battle to reduce the German U-Boat menace in the English Channel during the last year of World War I. Lieutenant (junior grade) Ben Snow takes a commission in the United States Naval Reserve, and whips a dissolute crew into fighting shape. They then take their little submarine chaser, SC 65X, out into the English Channel to hunt for German U-boats in the midst of the worst winter in more than fifty years. Their achievements climax with the sinking of a German submarine and taking sixteen of her crew prisoner. 
 
When the war ends on 11 November 1918, the chaser crews expect to return home, but their exposure to danger is by no means concluded. Instead, the chasers are tasked with exploding the 70,000 dangerous mines planted in the North Sea Mine Barrage. Having survived the war, will Ben and his crew survive the peace?
