  The Oblong Box is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most unsettling maritime tales — a masterclass in suspense, atmosphere, and the horror of human obsession. Set aboard a 19th-century ship, the story follows a passenger who becomes increasingly disturbed by his friend’s secretive behavior surrounding a coffin-sized oblong box. Strange incidents, obsessive guarding of the box, and the tense atmosphere aboard the storm-tossed vessel build a sense of dread. 
  When the box’s contents are finally revealed, the tragic truth shocks both the narrator and the reader, exposing grief and devotion taken to their darkest extremes. Poe’s skillful storytelling creates terror through suggestion, psychological tension, and the inexorable presence of death. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the melancholy, suspense, and gothic intensity that define Poe’s work. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest classic horror stories, The Oblong Box is a haunting reminder that some secrets are best left undisturbed. 🕯️

  What Was It? - From their pens...

  Fitz James O'Brien

  Michael O'Brien was born in Cork, Ireland on 25th October 1826.   
  He finished his education at the University of Dublin and some accounts have him serving for a time in the British army at some in this period.  
  Whilst at college he had shown some talent for writing poetry and two of his poems were later published in ‘The Ballads of Ireland’ (1856). 
  Departing for London with an £8,000 inheritance that was all spent during his stay of 4 years, he spent some time editing a periodical to aid the World’s Fair of 1851. 
  A year later he was bound for the United States with a new name, Fitz James, and an ambition to obtain a career in literature. 
  His earliest works in the US were for The Lantern, before publishing works in the Home Journal, the New York Times, and the American Whig Review. However, his most important early outlet was Harper's Magazine, and he first published with them in February 1853, with ‘The Two Skulls’, and would over his short life contribute more than sixty articles of poetry and prose.  
  As an established writer he now proceeded to publish magazines and periodicals of the calibre of the New York Saturday Press, Putnam's Magazine, Vanity Fair, and the Atlantic Monthly to whom he sent ‘The Diamond Lens’ (1858) and ‘The Wonder Smith’ (1859).  These are very early examples of science-fiction writing and along with several others establish him as one of the founders.  He also wrote, either as originals or as adaptions several plays including ‘A Gentleman from Ireland’. 
  In New York, he was associated with a brilliant set of contemporary Bohemians. At the weekly dinners hosted by the editor, actor and dramatist John Brougham, or at the nightly suppers at Pfaff's on Broadway, he was at the center of the entertainment. 
  With the outbreak of Civil War in 1861, O'Brien joined the 7th regiment of the New York National Guard hoping to see action at the front.  
  Fitz James O’Brien was badly wounded in a skirmish on 26th February 1862.  From his wounds he caught tetanus and died at Cumberland, Maryland on 6th April 1862. He was 35.
