Title: The Diary of a Madman Author: Guy de Maupassant Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1885 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 14 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: The Diary of a Madman by Guy de Maupassant is a chilling study of psychological horror and the fragility of sanity. First published in 1885, it presents the private writings of a respected judge whose outward civility hides a dark descent into obsession and cruelty. Told through the intimate form of diary entries, the story reveals the gradual unraveling of a mind — a voice both rational and terrifyingly unhinged. Maupassant strips away the veneer of normalcy to expose the horrors lurking within the human psyche. This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie intimacy and creeping dread that defines Maupassant’s tale. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a dedicated series bringing classic horror back to life — stories from the great masters of the macabre, narrated afresh to haunt a new generation. Listeners should be prepared for an unsettling exploration of madness, hidden violence, and the shadows that dwell in ordinary men.Ver libro
Step into the windswept Yorkshire moors in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights — a story of passion, vengeance, and haunting devotion that defies time itself. When the brooding orphan Heathcliff is taken in by the Earnshaw family, his deep, fierce love for Catherine Earnshaw becomes both his salvation and his ruin. Torn apart by pride and circumstance, their bond transforms into an obsession that spans generations, binding the fates of all who live at Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. Through the eyes of the outsider Mr. Lockwood and the housekeeper Nelly Dean, Brontë unravels a gothic masterpiece where love becomes indistinguishable from torment, and memory itself refuses to rest. Darkly poetic and emotionally raw, Wuthering Heights remains one of the most powerful explorations of human desire and self-destruction ever written — a tale where the moors echo with the ghosts of hearts that could never let go.Ver libro

A week alone in Iceland's most isolated church. A grief too heavy to carry. An ancient darkness stirring beneath. Pastor David Thornwell has lost his wife, his faith, and any reason to keep preaching. When he's offered a week-long silent retreat at the Black Church of Búðir — a tar-blackened chapel on Iceland's remote Snæfellsnes Peninsula — he accepts, hoping the vast silence of winter will either restore his shattered belief or give him permission to let go entirely. But the Black Church holds secrets older than Christianity. Strange journals left by previous caretakers describe lights that pool where they shouldn't, voices beneath the foundations, and an archaeological dig that was abandoned without explanation. Claw marks scar the heavy wooden door. And as the aurora borealis blazes across consecutive nights, David begins to understand that this church was not built to celebrate God's presence — but to keep vigil against something far more ancient. With the ground cracking beneath the altar and shadows advancing across the frozen lava field, David must make an impossible choice: surrender to the vast indifference of deep time, or ring the bell — not as an act of faith, but as a single, defiant act of human will. Set against the real landscape of Iceland's Snæfellsnes Peninsula — the inspiration for Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth — The Black Church is a story of grief, geological terror, and the thin line between worship and containment. For readers who love the atmospheric dread of M.R. James, the cosmic scope of H.P. Lovecraft, and the emotional weight of literary horror.First published as part of The Buried and the Drowned: A Short Story Collection by J.F. PennVer libro
