  The Open Window

  Title: The Open Window 
  Author: Saki (H. H. Munro) 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1914 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 30 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Open Window by Saki is a masterful blend of subtle wit and unsettling irony — a tale where polite conversation becomes a stage for deception and the supernatural lingers just out of sight. When the nervous Mr. Nuttel visits a country home for rest and recovery, his young hostess, Vera, entertains him with a chilling story of loss, ghosts, and an open window that never closes. 
  Deceptively light in tone, Saki’s story conceals a dark brilliance — a study in manipulation, imagination, and the thin line between truth and terror. The quiet domestic setting becomes the perfect trap for the reader’s expectations, as the tale turns from social comedy to ghostly suspense with unnerving precision. 
  Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Saki’s sharp dialogue, dry tension, and sudden twist of fear. 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 reviving the classic and uncanny, The Open Window stands as a timeless parable of storytelling itself — where every tale may open onto something far more chilling than it seems. 
  Prepare for a story that begins with civility and ends with a shiver — a moment when laughter and fear share the same breath.

  ‘The Last Laugh’ is another of Lawrence's supernatural stories, set in a dreamlike snowy London. The question left open is who the three people in the story saw on the snowy evening. Perhaps Pan, returned to destroy the Christian God, as the church is destroyed in the story and to bring love to the frigid young woman in the form of a policeman who is prevented from leaving the house. But why the other quite harmless, and Platonic lover, had to die is a mystery. Perhaps  because he had made love to a Jewess?

  Murder is part of the curriculum at an exclusive school for girls in Agatha Christie’s Cat Among the Pigeons, as the intrepid Poirot sets out to bring a stealthy killer to justice. 
  Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light in the sports pavilion while the rest of the school sleeps. There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of an unpopular games mistress—shot through the heart point-blank. 
  The school is thrown into chaos when the “cat” strikes again. Unfortunately, schoolgirl Julia Upjohn knows too much. In particular, she knows that without Hercule Poirot’s help, she will be the next victim.…

  Award-winning author Cynthia "Cina" Pelayo's acclaimed short story collection Lotería, now with added illustrations and new bonus stories...as well as an exclusive preview for her upcoming sequel to CHILDREN OF CHICAGO, THE SHOEMAKER'S MAGICIAN (out this Spring). 
   
  The Mexican board game of Lotería is a game of chance—similar to bingo. However, in Lotería instead of matching up numbers on a game board, players match up images. 
  There are 54 cards in the Lotería game, and for this short story collection you will find one unique story per card based on a Latin American myth, folklore, superstition, or belief—with a slant towards the paranormal and horrific. In this deck of cards you will find murderers, ghosts, goblins and ghouls. This collection features creatures and monsters, vampires, werewolves and more. 
  Many of these legends existed long before their European counterparts—passed throughout the Americas via word of mouth, collected just like the tales the Brothers Grimm. These are indeed fairy tales—Latin American fairy tales—but with a horrifying slant.
