  Title: The Alchemist 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1908 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 36 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Alchemist by H. P. Lovecraft is a tale of vengeance, decay, and the relentless hand of destiny. In a crumbling French château, generations of an ancient noble family are doomed to die before reaching their thirty-second year — victims, it seems, of a centuries-old curse. As the last heir wanders through the ruins of his lineage, he uncovers the truth behind the curse — and the grim figure who has carried it through time. 
  Written when Lovecraft was just seventeen, The Alchemist reveals the early foundations of his fascination with ancestral guilt and cosmic inevitability. The story’s gothic atmosphere, shadowed corridors, and sense of doomed inheritance foreshadow the cosmic horror that would later define his work. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s blend of decay and dread — the echo of old oaths, the dust of forgotten laboratories, and the whisper of a fate that will not be denied. 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 resurrecting the masters of the macabre, The Alchemist endures as a reminder that even youth’s first nightmares can echo through eternity — and that some legacies are written not in ink, but in blood and time.

  A man who rose from nothing. A duchess with everything to lose. One irresistible transaction that exposes the truth behind luxury and desire.
  In this witty and incisive short story, Virginia Woolf peels back the glittering surface of high society. Oliver Bacon, London's most successful jeweller, is courted by a desperate duchess who tempts him with jewels, promises, and the illusion of acceptance among the elite. As their dance of ambition and vanity unfolds, Woolf reveals the insecurity, longing, and moral compromise hidden beneath wealth and status.
  
  Praised as "a brilliant satire of class and desire," this story sparkles with Woolf's psychological insight and elegant prose. Readers love its crisp tension, vivid characterization, and the quiet sting of its final revelations.
  
  If you enjoy sharp social commentary, compact storytelling, and Woolf's unmistakable narrative voice, this classic is a gem.
  
  Turn the page—and witness a world where temptation gleams brighter than truth.

  Title: The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1845 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 48 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most macabre and unsettling tales — a dark blend of science, mesmerism, and the boundaries of death itself. 
  Told in the clinical yet horrified voice of a mesmerist, the story recounts an experiment performed on a dying man — one meant to test whether the human spirit can be held between life and death by hypnosis. What follows is a grotesque and unforgettable account of suspended mortality, decomposition, and the terrible price of curiosity. 
  A masterpiece of Gothic horror and proto-science fiction, Poe’s tale remains as shocking today as it was in 1845 — a story that anticipates both modern medical ethics and the existential terror of consciousness trapped beyond the grave. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels Poe’s eerie precision and the suffocating dread of the impossible made real. 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 Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar endures as one of Poe’s most chilling studies in the unnatural stillness between death and decay — where science dares to trespass upon the soul.
