  Title: Rats 
  Author: M. R. James 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1929 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 63 
  Description: 
  Rats is one of M. R. James’ most quietly terrifying tales — a masterclass in suggestion, atmosphere, and the dread of what lurks just out of view. Set in a decaying, isolated inn on the Suffolk coast, the story follows a solitary traveler who becomes curious about a locked upstairs room that the landlord insists is overrun by rats. The noises behind the walls, the heavy scuffling overhead, and the strange behavior of the innkeeper all point to something unnatural hiding in the shadows. 
  But when the narrator forces the door and enters the forbidden chamber, he discovers that what lies beneath the bedclothes is not a rat — nor anything that should still exist. James builds fear through restraint and implication, letting horror emerge from small details: a shifting weight, a half-seen shape, a dreadful suggestion of something once human. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings out the creeping tension and cold, scholarly terror that define M. R. James’ work. While the text itself is firmly in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost stories ever written, Rats is a chilling reminder that sometimes the most frightening creatures are not the ones we expect — and that some doors should never be opened. 🕯️
