Hope springs eternal—even in the darkest moments. When the Montague & Strong Detective Agency gets a visit from the Arctic Society of Sorcery to help them find a missing person, they realize the person they’ve been tasked with locating is the legendary Mr. K.-a mage known for his famous Ritual of Esper which occurs only once every fifty years. The Arctic Society of Sorcery suspects the Greater Krampus, Wrakjan, is behind the abduction, in an effort to sabotage the ritual and unleash a wave of despair and triggering the Gloom. With only a week to complete the ritual, Monty & Strong have little time to find Mr. K and no clue where to start the search. Fortunately, Cece, a Jotnar Ice Mage and Monty’s young apprentice, may have the key to the location of Mr. K. Together they must locate and rescue Mr. K before time runs out, and stop Wrakjan from corrupting the ritual, and plunging the world into darkness.Show book
I'm Arwyn Cassandra Corey, the sea wicche, or the wicche who lives by the sea. It requires a lot more work than I'd anticipated to remodel an abandoned cannery and turn it into an art gallery & tea bar. It's coming along, though, especially with the help of a new werewolf who's joined the construction crew. He does beautiful work. His sexy, growly, bearded presence is very hard to ignore, but I'm trying. I'm not sure how such a laid-back guy got the local Alpha and his pack threatening to hunt him down and tear him apart, but we all have our secrets. And because I don't want to know his—or yours for that matter—I wear these gloves. Clairvoyance makes the simplest things the absolute worst. Trust me. Or don't. Totally up to you. Did I mention my mother and grandmother are pressuring me to assume my rightful place on the Corey Council? That's a kind of governing triad for our ancient magical family, one that has more than its fair share of black magic practitioners. And yes, before you ask, people have killed to be on the council—one psychotic sorceress aunt comes to mind—but I have no interest in the power or politics that come with the position. I'd rather stick to my art and, in the words of my favorite sea wicche, help poor unfortunate souls. (Good luck trying to get that song out of your head now.) Contains mature themes.Show book
Title: Polaris Author: H. P. Lovecraft Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1920 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 43 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: Polaris by H. P. Lovecraft is a dreamlike descent into obsession, identity, and cosmic futility. Set beneath the eerie shimmer of the North Star, it unfolds as both a tale of ancient war and a fevered vision of a soul caught between two worlds — the waking and the eternal. The narrator, haunted by dreams of a lost city beneath the Arctic light, becomes convinced he is the reincarnation of a watchman doomed to fail in his sacred duty. As memory, madness, and destiny blur, Polaris becomes a meditation on guilt and the insignificance of man beneath the indifferent stars. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures Lovecraft’s hypnotic rhythm and the slow unravelling of sanity that defines his early cosmic vision — the sense that truth may be glimpsed only in dreams, and that awakening brings no escape. 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, Polaris endures as an early glimpse of Lovecraft’s cosmic dread — a haunting reminder that even the stars above may whisper our doom.Show book
