  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1890 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 39 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley is a tale of forbidden curiosity and ancestral dread — a Gothic masterpiece that fuses the haunted past with the peril of modern discovery. First published in the late Victorian era, it stands as one of the most unsettling explorations of the supernatural in English fiction. 
  When an architect is summoned to restore a decaying abbey, he unwittingly disturbs a tomb long sealed — and unleashes a terror bound by sacred warning. Cholmondeley’s story unfolds with elegant restraint and rising unease, revealing that the boundaries between the living and the dead are more fragile than reason admits. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the tale’s chilling atmosphere — the echoing corridors, the whisper of desecrated dust, and the growing certainty that some doors, once opened, can never again be closed. 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, Let Loose stands as a warning from the past — that reverence ignored and curiosity unchained can awaken horrors best left entombed.
