• "The Lovely House" by Shirley Jackson | Existential Dread | Last Gasp of the Gothic

  Renowned author of mystery and gothic horror Shirley Jackson weaves a dreamlike tale of doublings, echoes, and (in the words of ST Joshi) "exemplifies the 'quiet weird tale' at its pinnacle".Published in 1950, the story follows Margaret who visits her friend Carla's country estate for the holidays. Will she ever leave? Has she always been there?Narrated by Thomas BarkerIf you'd like to chip in a couple of dollars to help with hosting and music licensing, I'd be enormously grateful.https://ko-fi.com/tttQueries, comments?

• "The Human Chair" by Edogawa Ranpo | Monogatari Macabre

  We return to the Land of the Rising Sun this week, for a tale in which no overt harm is ever done, nor threatened. Yet this might (by certain metrics) be one of the grossest stories I've had the distinct pleasure to record.An eminent writer receives an unsolicited manuscript, in which is contained a perverse narrative confession written by a disturbed chairmaker.Transgressions ahoy.Narrated by Thomas BarkerIf you'd like to chip in a couple of dollars to help with hosting and music licensing, I'd be enormously grateful.https://ko-fi.com/tttQueries, comments?

• "The Unspeakable Betrothal" by Robert Bloch | A Tale of the Cthulhu Mythos

  What if the otherworldly entities of the Cthulhu Mythos aren’t truly evil or malevolent, what if they are simply alien in the most profound sense of the word?This story from 1949 about a dreamy young woman named Avis Long, maintains an almost romantic, sensuous quality (at least - I think so!), right up until its horrifying conclusion.Listen out for the breaking into reality of creatures from Yuggoth and elsewhere.Pleasant dreams.Er - screams.Narrated by Thomas BarkerIf you'd like to chip in a couple of dollars to help with hosting and music licensing, I'd be enormously grateful.https://ko-fi.com/tttQueries, comments?
