Title: The Imp of the Perverse Author: Edgar Allan Poe Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1845 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 44 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: The Imp of the Perverse by Edgar Allan Poe is a chilling exploration of the human compulsion toward self-destruction — that sinister whisper urging us to do precisely what we know we must not. Told in Poe’s hypnotic, confessional style, the story begins as a philosophical essay on impulse and perversity, then descends into the fevered confession of a murderer undone by his own mind. This tale reveals Poe at his most psychologically incisive, dissecting guilt, pride, and the dark delight of defiance. Beneath its gothic calm lies a truth as disturbing now as in 1845 — that the greatest horror may be found not in the supernatural, but in the secret architecture of the human soul. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes Poe’s morbid eloquence and the relentless pull of conscience that drives his doomed narrator to madness. 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 and uncanny, The Imp of the Perversestands as one of Poe’s most haunting studies of inner torment — a reminder that sometimes, the truest demon wears our own face.Ver libro

"Adeline Mowbray, or, The Mother and Daughter, is a novel by Amelia Opie that was published in 1804. The experiences of the heroine, Adeline, are loosely based on the unconventional life of Mary Wollstonecraft, an acquaintance of Opie. In the novel, Opie explores what might happen when a woman's idealistic philosophical beliefs conflict with society's notions about female sexuality. The philosophically minded Adeline decides that marriage is an outmoded institution. She refuses marriage to Frederic Glenmurray (modeled on William Godwin) and instead chooses to live with him as his sexual equal. Although Adeline is honorable, clever, and honest, she faces social condemnation. She is disowned by her mother and respectable friends and harassed by men who assume she is sexually available. After Glenmurray dies, Adeline seeks protection by marrying the abusive Mr. Berrendale, who ultimately abandons her and their daughter, Editha. At the end of the novel, the ill Adeline is finally reunited with her mother. Adeline repents having transgressed society's expectations of women and, before she dies, leaves instructions on how Editha is to be educated."Ver libro
