JakesFour stories. Four very different nightmares. One new collection of Timeless Terrors. Performed by horror author Jonathan Dunne.Welcome to Timeless Terrors, Volume 17 — another eclectic collection of classic and weird fiction, bringing together four tales of death, obsession, the supernatural, and the darker reaches of the imagination.We begin with The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson, the classic Gothic tale of grave robbing, medical ambition, and a terrible secret that refuses to remain buried. First published in 1884, Stevenson's story draws upon the notorious history of body-snatching surrounding the Edinburgh medical schools.Next comes one of the most famous poems in the English language — The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. A haunting meditation on grief, loss, and obsession, in which a mysterious visitor arrives at midnight and forever changes the troubled mind of its host.Then we turn to Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley, a strange and atmospheric supernatural tale combining the traditions of the ghost story with something considerably darker.And finally, The Most Horrible Story by John W. Jakes — a bizarre and unsettling tale in which a reader discovers that the search for the ultimate horror story may have consequences far beyond anything he could have imagined. Originally published in the early 1950s, it plays with the very nature of horror and the relationship between the reader and the story itself.Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.Prefer to listen away from YouTube?

Howard, where the boundaries between dreams and nightmares begin to blur.From there, we venture From Beyond, the classic tale of cosmic horror by H. P. Lovecraft, in which a scientific experiment reveals terrifying possibilities beyond the limits of human perception.And finally, The Feast in the Abbey by Robert Bloch — a Gothic tale of an isolated abbey, mysterious hosts, and a feast that may prove considerably less hospitable than expected.Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.
