Summary

Ghosts can bleed... but it's not the blood you should be worried about.

By turns terrifying, darkly comic, surreal and stomach-churning, these stories from award-winning author Tracie McBride open the veins of the world to show humanity in a different - and much darker - light.
 
If dark fiction appeals to you, do yourself a favor and try Ghosts Can Bleed. You'll be glad you did, but don't plan on getting a lot of sleep afterward.

    Title: The Tomb 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1917 (first published 1922) 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 26 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Tomb by H. P. Lovecraft is a tale of ancestral obsession, forbidden curiosity, and the thin veil separating memory from madness. It follows Jervas Dudley, a solitary dreamer fascinated by an ancient mausoleum belonging to the long-dead Hyde family. Drawn by an irresistible pull, he becomes consumed by the mystery of the tomb — and by the eerie sense that his destiny is entwined with the dead within. 
    Through Lovecraft’s early mastery of gothic atmosphere and psychological unease, The Tomb explores themes of hereditary memory, morbid fixation, and the haunting persistence of the past. What begins as mere curiosity descends into a dreamlike horror, where identity and sanity unravel among the shadows of the grave. 
    Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the dark romanticism and creeping dread of Lovecraft’s vision — a descent into the spectral corridors of the mind. While the text resides in the public domain, this narration is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to reviving the classic works of horror and the uncanny, The Tomb bridges gothic tradition and cosmic dread — a haunting meditation on the lure of the past and the peril of those who cannot let the dead rest. 
    Listeners should prepare for a story where fascination becomes fate, where dreams trespass upon death, and where the past itself refuses to stay buried.

    "Monsters aren't real." 
     
     
     
    That's what sixteen-year-old Lucy Brannigan has always believed, until, broke and desperate, she and her father move to an isolated farmhouse in the small Scottish town of Helsbridge. It's their last chance, and they have to make it work. 
     
     
     
    For Lucy, life appears to be over. With no friends, and surrounded by miles of thick woodland, there's nothing to do. But why did the previous occupants leave their belongings behind? And why is their new home surrounded by dozens of scarecrows? And worst of all . . . what is the cause of the horrifying screams that wake her in the night? 
     
     
     
    This summer, Lucy will be forced to learn the dark secret of Helsbridge. And as the bodies pile up, and the blood flows in rivers, she makes a shocking discovery that will change the course of her life forever. 
     
     
     
    Monsters are real . . . and no amount of flesh can sate their diabolical hunger. 
     
     
     
    Summer of the Monsters is a tender and brutal coming-of-age horror story from the savage mind of David Sodergren, author of Maggie's Grave and The Haar. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Christmas Eve 1975, two innocent handy men are summoned to Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, New York, faced with the seemingly innocuous task of fixing a boathouse door. There is no way that Owen Blake and Randy Hallowell can possibly know that an ancient malevolence awaits them; a preternatural entity older than time, bent on the destruction of all living things; that the owners of this house, and others on this now infamous avenue, have stepped into an inescapable nightmare and will soon be thrown into their own macabre dance with death.  
    In the next few hours Owen and Randy will encounter the living dead, be assailed by ungodly, gross abominations of nature, and eventually come face to face with the Amityville Horror, unleashing a rampage of unfathomable events, demonic spirits and a force of darkness beyond all comprehension -- a savagery attempting to literally tear them apart, limb by limb, and rip the very life force from their torn and wounded bodies.  
    If they survive, it will change their lives forever.
