Summary

In "The Last of the Plainsmen," Zane Grey immerses readers in the rugged landscape and spirit of the American West during the early 20th century through a blend of fiction and memoiristic storytelling. The book chronicles the adventures of a group of plainsmen, capturing the ethos of frontier life with vivid prose that brings to life the trials, triumphs, and indomitable will of its characters. Grey's literary style interweaves rich imagery with a firsthand appreciation for the land, grounded in the historical context of exploration and settlement, making it an essential text for understanding the cultural fabric of the West during this transformative era. Zane Grey, an iconic figure in American literature, was a passionate outdoorsman and dedicated angler whose experiences in the wild deeply influenced his writing. Born in 1872 in Pennsylvania, Grey spent much of his life exploring the American frontier, an impetus that fueled his desire to chronicle the lives of those who inhabited it. His intimate knowledge of the West not only adds authenticity to his characters but also reflects a profound connection with nature, a theme prevalent in his works. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in American frontier narratives, historical fiction, or anyone seeking an authentic depiction of the challenges faced by pioneers. Grey's evocative prose and compelling storytelling will captivate those who yearn for adventure and insight into a bygone era.

    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.

    First published in 1869, "The Idiot" is a novel by the renowned Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It tells the story of Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who returns to Russia after spending years in a Swiss sanatorium. Despite being genuinely kind, compassionate, and possessing an almost Christ-like innocence, Myshkin is perceived by the society around him as an "idiot." The novel delves into the complexities of the human soul, exploring themes of goodness, love, society's moral degradation, and the repercussions of unbridled ambition. As the narrative unfolds, Prince Myshkin gets entangled in a love triangle and a series of tragic events that underscore Dostoyevsky's critiques of Russian society and his exploration of the nature of good and evil.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
BOOK 10. THE 5TH OF JUNE, 1832: Of what is revolt composed? Of nothing and of everything. Of an electricity disengaged, little by little, of a flame suddenly darting forth, of a wandering force, of a passing breath. This breath encounters heads which speak, brains which dream, souls which suffer, passions which burn, wretchedness which howls, and bears them away.
