Sinossi

A psychopathic female fugitive provokes a mother’s vengeance in this terrifying thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Gone South and Boy’s Life. Back in the 1960s, Mary Terrell shot and killed a man. A former member of the fanatical Storm Front Brigade—a splinter group of the notorious Weathermen—Terrell has stayed one step ahead of the FBI for decades. Living with numerous identities and menial jobs, Terrell’s only constants in life have been LSD, psychotic delusions of motherhood, and murderous rage. The sixties are long gone, but Mary is still out there. Now, provoked by a message she reads in Rolling Stone, she’s convinced that the surviving leader of her old band of radicals wants to build a life with her. So one night, Mary sneaks into the maternity ward of an Atlanta hospital. Laura Clayborne has a successful career and now, a newborn baby. She’s the type of person who is sensitive to suffering and injustice. But the kidnapping of her infant son has brought out a white-hot fury. She’s not going to sit and wait while the FBI investigates. She’s going after Mary herself—headlong and relentless—on a twisting and violent cross-country pursuit to get her child back. But to track a madwoman, Laura will have to think like one . . . A Bram Stoker Award winner, this “expertly constructed novel of suspense and horror” (Publishers Weekly) from the author of Swan Song, Speaks the Nightbird, and other acclaimed works is “feverishly exciting . . . a page-whipping thriller” (Kirkus Reviews).

Christmas Creeps from the Deep -...

D.M. Guay

This Christmas, a hero will rise from the trailer park.
Earl Frost isn't what most people would call a hero. He's indoorsy. He lives with his grandma in a 1970s single wide in the Misty Pines Trailer Park. He spends most of his time taking care of his pet fish and working nights at Cecil's Gas 'n' Stop. Earl Frost also hates Christmas, which is a cardinal sin up there with pride and greed in Holiday Lake.
Holiday Lake is like a town on a Christmas card, or in one of those holiday romance movies that play non-stop on TV. Everyone here loves Christmas. Except for Earl. He has his reasons, but his bah humbug attitude hasn't helped him make friends. That's why Earl had to join a doomsday Cthulhu cult just to get some pals to drink beer with.
Which is great until a cult ritual in the back of a junk shop goes wrong, and horrific creatures rise from the lake, hell-bent on killing and destroying everyone and everything in their path.
Earl will have to team up with the Misty Pines Trailer Park Thursday Night Knitting Club and the girl of his dreams to stop the creatures as they slash their way through town. Can Earl save Holiday Lake—and Christmas—from monsters unlike any man has ever seen? Find out in Christmas Creeps from the Deep!
Christmas Creeps from the Deep is the new cozy holiday horror / science fiction comedy creature feature from the author of 24/7 Demon Mart. It's like a Hallmark Christmas romance meets Humanoids from the Deep. Part eco horror, part romcom, one hundred percent adventure.
It's perfect for fans of Suckerville (Chris Sorensen), Secret Santa (Andrew Shaffer), Oddjobs (Heide Goody/Iain Grant), The Stupidest Angel (Christopher Moore), Kaiju Preservation Society (John Scalzi), The Visitor (Sergio Gomez), and Candy Cain Kills (Brian McAuley).

Silence - A Fable

Edgar Allan Poe

More classic horror narrations on Jonathan Dunne Horror Stories & Audiobooks: https://www.youtube.com/@JonathanDunneHorrorAudiobooks
Title: Silence: A Fable
Author: Edgar Allan Poe
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1839
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 65
Description:
Silence: A Fable is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most haunting and introspective works — a meditation on isolation, the human soul, and the subtle terrors that dwell in stillness itself. The story follows a lone traveler who encounters an otherworldly figure in a desolate, silent landscape. Through cryptic dialogue and atmospheric detail, Poe explores themes of mortality, existential dread, and the ineffable forces that govern life and death.
The horror in Silence: A Fable arises not from action or gore, but from the oppressive quiet that permeates every scene — a silence so profound it becomes almost a tangible presence. Shadows, echoes, and the interplay between light and dark create an atmosphere of uncanny tension, reminding readers that human perception is fragile and limited.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the ethereal dread, reflective melancholy, and enigmatic beauty of Poe’s prose. While the text itself is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classics of horror, Silence: A Fable is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most terrifying forces are not seen or heard — but felt, in the spaces between. 🕯️

The Missing Model - The ghost of...

Lettice Galbraith

Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
 
Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
 
Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
 
After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
 
In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
 
Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
 
After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
 
For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
 
Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73

The Whisperer in Darkness

H.P. Lovecraft

The Whisperer in Darkness is a 26,000-word novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931. Similar to The Colour Out of Space (1927), it is a blend of horror and science fiction. Although it makes numerous references to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story is not a central part of the mythos, but reflects a shift in Lovecraft's writing at this time towards science fiction. The story also introduces the Mi-go, an extraterrestrial race of fungoid creatures. The story is told by Albert N. Wilmarth, an instructor of literature at Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts. When local newspapers report strange things seen floating in rivers during a historic Vermont flood, Wilmarth becomes embroiled in a controversy regarding the reality and significance of the sightings. He sides with the skeptics, blaming old legends about monsters living in uninhabited hills that abduct people venturing too close to their territory. He receives a letter from Henry Wentworth Akeley, a man living in an isolated farmhouse near Townshend, Vermont, who claims to have proof that will convince Wilmarth he must stop questioning the creatures' existence. The two exchange letters that include an account of the extraterrestrial race chanting with human agents in worship of several beings, including Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep, the latter of whom "shall put on the semblance of men, the waxen mask and the robe that hides"...
