There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. From their pens to your your ears. 01 - 3 Stories - Madness to Murder 02 - A Pastoral Horror by Arthur Conan Doyle 03 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev 04 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan PoeMostra libro

Title: The Beast in the Cave Author: H.P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1918 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 22 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: The Beast in the Cave by H.P. Lovecraft is an early yet striking example of the author’s mastery of atmosphere and psychological horror. Set deep within the winding passages of Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave, the story follows a man who becomes hopelessly lost in total darkness. As his torch burns out and his sense of direction fails, the oppressive silence gives way to the sound of something moving — something that should not exist in such depths. With mounting dread, the narrator’s fear transforms into primal terror as he realizes he is not alone in the cavern’s endless blackness. What begins as a struggle against isolation turns into a confrontation with a horror born of darkness itself. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s claustrophobic tension and chilling final revelation. While the text is in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting classic horror — works from masters of the macabre, retold in haunting new performances for a modern audience. Listeners should prepare for a descent into pitch-black terror, where every sound could signal the approach of something unspeakable lurking in the dark.Mostra libro
