    Title: Metzengerstein 
Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1832 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 59 
Description: 
Metzengerstein is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s earliest forays into gothic terror — a tale steeped in superstition, doomed rivalry, and the haunting power of vengeance beyond the grave. 
The story follows young Baron Frederick Metzengerstein after a devastating fire destroys the stables of his family’s sworn enemies, the Berlifitzings. From the ashes emerges a massive, mysterious horse bearing a chilling resemblance to a figure in an ancient tapestry. As the Baron becomes obsessively bound to this dark steed, his will begins to unravel — and the long-buried hatred between the two noble houses rises once more in spectral form. 
Poe crafts a sinister atmosphere thick with dread, where prophecy and madness gallop side by side toward a fiery and inevitable fate. Themes of corruption, obsession, and the supernatural converge, showcasing the early foundations of the master of macabre fiction. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this original performance breathes new life into one of Poe’s most ominous works. While the text is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the legends of classic horror, Metzengerstein reminds us that sometimes the deadliest force in the world is not a ghost — but a hatred that refuses to die. 🐎

Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
"Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
"I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
"Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
"You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
"do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
"I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
His son saw his car speed away. 
"Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
"Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
"You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on.
