  “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
    
  Georgia Thackery is feeling pretty good about her summer job teaching at prestigious Overfeld College, and she’s renting a rustic cabin right by a lake for herself, her daughter, Madison, and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton. Together again, the trio are enjoying the quiet when a teenager named Jen shows up looking for her friend. Georgia doesn’t recognize the name, but she learns that the person Jen was looking for is actually Sid. 
    
  Sid reveals that he and Jen are part of a regular online gaming group that formed locally, and one of their members has gone missing. Sid admits that he might have bragged about his investigative prowess, enough so that Jen wants him to find their missing player. Given that Sid doesn’t have many friends offline—none, really, unless you count the Thackery family—Georgia agrees to help him search. They manage to discreetly enlist Jen, who lives in town, and follow the clues to … a dead buddy. 
    
  Now they’ve got a killer on their hands. Probing the life of Sid’s friend, they realize a lot is wrong both on campus and in the seemingly quaint town, and someone doesn’t want them looking deeper.

  Title: The Yellow Wallpaper 
  Author: Charlotte Perkins Gilman 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1892 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 4 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a groundbreaking work of psychological horror and early feminist literature. First published in 1892 in The New England Magazine, it tells the story of a woman suffering from postpartum depression who is confined to a room by her physician husband under the guise of a “rest cure.” 
  As she becomes increasingly obsessed with the room’s grotesque yellow wallpaper, her mind unravels in a chilling descent into madness. Gilman’s story is both a critique of the oppressive medical and social attitudes of her time and a powerful exploration of mental health, autonomy, and the dangers of silencing women. 
  This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the story’s creeping dread and psychological intensity. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Listeners should expect an unsettling, claustrophobic tale that remains one of the most influential and enduring pieces of American gothic literature.
