Title: An Inhabitant of Carcosa Author: Ambrose Bierce Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1886 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Number 46 in the Timeless Terrors series Description: An Inhabitant of Carcosa by Ambrose Bierce is a haunting vision of death, memory, and cosmic revelation. In a desolate landscape shrouded in silence, a lost soul named Hoseib wanders among ancient ruins, struggling to recall who he is and how he came to be there. As he journeys through the remnants of a forgotten civilization, a terrible truth emerges — he walks through the ruins of his own world, long dead and buried. Through its eerie stillness and philosophical depth, Bierce’s story anticipates the cosmic unease later explored by Chambers and Lovecraft. It is one of the earliest works to hint at a vast, indifferent universe — where death is not an ending, but an eternal realization. Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the quiet terror and melancholy beauty of Bierce’s prose — the slow unveiling of mortality beneath a sky where even the stars seem mournful. 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, An Inhabitant of Carcosa endures as a cornerstone of early cosmic horror — a whisper from the grave reminding us that the dead may still walk among the ruins.
