Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies—free of conscience and guilt. It's when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress.

Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson's story has so endured that "a Jekyll and Hyde personality" has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own—sometimes involuntary—duality.

When the movies end, so does their chance to escape. Will Shay get back to the future in time to blow out her birthday candles? And will Finn be there if she does?

Title: The Call of Cthulhu 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1928 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 34 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft is the cornerstone of cosmic horror — a vast and terrifying revelation that humanity is but a fleeting whisper beneath the gaze of ancient, indifferent gods. Told through fragmented reports, journal entries, and the haunted memories of those who have glimpsed forbidden truths, it weaves a chilling investigation into the cult of Cthulhu — a monstrous being sleeping beneath the Pacific, whose awakening would end all that we know. 
Lovecraft constructs his myth through suggestion and implication, blending mystery, anthropology, and existential terror into a narrative that expands horror beyond the human scale. This is not merely a story of monsters, but of meaning undone — where sanity erodes in the face of incomprehensible reality. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author  Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s investigative tension and creeping dread — the inexorable uncovering of truths too vast for the mind to hold. While the text itself 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, The Call of Cthulhu stands as Lovecraft’s defining vision — a tale of cosmic insignificance, ancient worship, and the terrible awakening of what should forever sleep. 
Prepare for a descent into madness, mystery, and myth — where knowledge itself is the most dangerous horror of all.
