Synopsis

p>Edinburgh 1841.

Reaching out like a hungry white worm it twisted and spiralled, tasting the air. Then, evidently attracted by the flow of warm blood, it squirmed its way under the surface of my skin.
Every autumn without fail, a strange seed appears on the chestnut tree that marks the spot where the witch Margaret McKay was murdered.
Legend states that anyone who catches this nut before it hits the ground will be blessed with untold riches, but when it falls into the eager hands of botanist Joseph Ware, the seed unleashes a terrible curse. In his quest to find the cure, Joseph discovers a resistance group battling to save the last of Scotland's witches from a sinister order of surgeons who believe the key to all magic lies hidden somewhere within a witch's anatomy.
The conflict quickly tears apart the bonds of family, friendship and even reality itself, as Joseph fights to save his soul and avoid the anatomists' dissecting table.
Ideal for readers of The Last Witch in Scotland, The Witches of Vardo, Bram Stoker or for those with an interest in witchcraft lore.

    The grief that death brings is difficult to adjust too.  And after the funeral the deceased’s estate must be divided up as their will and wishes have specified.  However, with that division of material goods there often comes tensions and jealously between family members, friends and others.  What they thought they were to the deceased is now somewhat different in the cold light of reality.  Trouble begins to brew.

    Title: The Fall of the House of Usher 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1839 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 45 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe stands as one of the defining masterpieces of gothic horror — a tale where decay, madness, and the supernatural intertwine within the crumbling walls of a doomed mansion. When an unnamed narrator visits the melancholic Roderick Usher and his ailing sister Madeline, he becomes ensnared in a world where the line between reality and delusion dissolves, and the very house itself seems alive with a malignant sentience. 
    Poe’s prose conjures an atmosphere of suffocating dread, exploring the collapse of body, mind, and bloodline. Every shadow, every whisper within the Usher estate echoes the inevitability of ruin — a meditation on mortality, isolation, and the inescapable power of fear. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s haunting rhythm and the slow, irresistible descent into terror that has enthralled readers for nearly two centuries. While the text 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 and uncanny, The Fall of the House of Usher endures as one of Poe’s most enduring works — a symphony of melancholy and madness that reminds us: when the house falls, it takes the soul with it.
