    Title: The Pit and the Pendulum 
    Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1842 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 32 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe is a harrowing descent into psychological and physical torment — a masterpiece of suspense that explores the extremities of fear and the indomitable will to survive. Set during the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, a condemned man awakens in a pitch-black chamber where terror comes not from the unseen alone, but from the cruel machinery of death itself. 
    Through meticulous pacing and sensory detail, Poe transforms the simple elements of darkness, time, and confinement into instruments of unbearable dread. The swinging blade, the narrowing walls, and the unseen abyss below merge into a nightmare of pure existential terror. 
    Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Poe’s rhythm of panic and revelation — the tightening pulse of a man struggling against both despair and death. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the classic voices of the macabre, The Pit and the Pendulumendures as one of literature’s most visceral portrayals of horror — a story where every heartbeat echoes the pendulum’s swing, and every breath might be the last. 
    Prepare for a journey into darkness, dread, and the thin line between reason and madness — a tale that proves the greatest terror is to be conscious while facing the inevitable.

    "The Lurking Fear" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in November 1922, it was first published in the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew. The story is narrated by an unnamed seeker of "strange horrors" who is investigating the massacre of a community of some six dozen backwoods degenerates in an obscure region of the Catskills, a massacre which occurred during a particularly violent electrical storm and seems to have been perpetrated by an unidentified clawed beast. The narrator soon discovers that the most sinister legends of the region center around the abandoned Martense mansion, and he decides—together with two companions—to spend the night in the big old house. And thus our lengthy, four-part tale begins.

    The Turn of the Screw

    The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 gothic horror novella by Henry James which first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly from January 27 to April 16, 1898. On October 7, 1898, it was collected in The Two Magics, published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London. The novella follows a governess who, caring for two children at a remote country house, becomes convinced that they are haunted. The Turn of the Screw is considered a work of both Gothic and horror fiction. 
    In the century following its publication, critical analysis of the novella underwent several major transformations. Initial reviews regarded it only as a frightening ghost story, but, in the 1930s, some critics suggested that the supernatural elements were figments of the governess' imagination. In the early 1970s, the influence of structuralism resulted in an acknowledgement that the text's ambiguity was its key feature. Later approaches incorporated Marxist and feminist thinking. 
    The novella has been adapted several times, including a Broadway play (1950), a chamber opera (1954), two films (in 1961 and 2020), and a miniseries (2020). 
    On Christmas Eve, an unnamed narrator and some of his friends are gathered around a fire. One of them, Douglas, reads a manuscript written by his sister's late governess. The manuscript tells the story of her being hired by a man who has become responsible for his young niece and nephew following the deaths of their parents. He lives mainly in London and has a country house in (fictional) Bly, Essex...
