  FATE – Eventually, Everything Connects 
  BOOK 2 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY (Sequel to Room of Death) 
  “Oh, my God, I remember that trial now. She was the girl convicted of killing her infant cousin so that she could inherit his property, of which she was the next heir. Did your father know these facts before he agreed to take her on as a servant here at your place?” 
  “Yes, he did,” she said with a faint voice. 
  “Oh, my goodness. That trial was in all the papers. I can’t understand how your father could endure the presence of such a mad killer under the same roof as you. I don’t know how he could even subject you to such danger. No wonder you never smile.” 
  “Oh, you have it wrong. My father believes that though she was convicted of the crime, she was not guilty,” said the young woman in a faint voice. 
  “You say this, Aurora, that your father believes this. From everything I read in the papers, the evidence that proved her guilt was overwhelming. There wasn’t a loophole in the trial whatsoever.” 
  “That’s so true. But you sit there agreeing to have Jack Dannells provide private service for my father and then turn around and find that poor girl who was only fourteen years old guilty of a crime which she could not think up much less plan. We know that Elise Austin is no felon,” said Aurora. 
  “I don’t know, Aurora. You and your father seem to have a boundless charity to the criminals.”

  Title: Shadow – A Parable 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1835 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 42 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  “Shadow – A Parable” by Edgar Allan Poe is a brief yet profound meditation on death, memory, and the fragile line between the living and the departed. Set amid the aftermath of pestilence, seven figures gather in a dimly lit chamber, haunted by the ghostly presence of a shifting shadow that speaks not to the ear but to the soul. 
  First published in 1835, this early work reveals Poe’s mastery of atmosphere and allegory — a fusion of Biblical solemnity and gothic despair. The story’s vision of mortality and the dissolution of self foreshadows the existential darkness that would come to define Poe’s later works. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance imbues Poe’s haunting prose with a spectral intensity — a voice that rises from the silence of the grave to whisper of humanity’s inevitable end. 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, Shadow – A Parable stands as an eerie meditation on the universality of death — a moment when even the proudest voices of the living fall silent beneath the eternal shadow.

  Summer has arrived in Wildwood Heath, and with it comes the town's annual carnival and its accompanying flower contest. Robin is confident that her mother's roses will once again take the top prize and is content to spend her free time reconnecting with her father after the years they've spent apart, but a distraction arrives in the form of a customer being poisoned to death at the local coffee shop. 
  Unfortunately for Robin, the poisoning happens right in front of her and her dad… and her cousin, Rowan, whose job at the coffee shop soon lands her at the top of the suspect list. 
  To complicate matters, the head of the investigation is none other than Robin's brother, Ramsey, who little expects his first interaction with his unwillingly estranged father in years to involve a murder investigation. The awkward family reunion will have to wait, however, because it isn't long before a link emerges between the murder and the upcoming flower contest… and it becomes clear to Robin that someone might be willing to do anything to win. 
  Robin already has her hands full juggling family members starting inconveniently timed duels and scheming witches vying for the top prize at the flower contest, but with her cousin's freedom hanging in the balance, she’ll have to turn her attention to tracking a murderer. 
  Can Robin help get Rowan off the hook and find the real killer before the carnival season comes to a messy end?
