Striding Place, The

di Gertrude Atherton (Autore)

Jonathan Dunne, 2026

Title: The Striding Place Author: Gertrude Atherton Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1896 Public Domain: Yes Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 80 Description: The Striding Place is one of Gertrude Atherton’s most unnerving and atmospheric tales — a precise exploration of obsession, fear, and the fragile line between rationality and superstition. The story follows two men traveling a lonely English road at night, where local legends and strange happenings test their beliefs and perceptions. When one dismisses superstition and the warnings of the landscape, a sudden, impossible event changes everything. Central to the story is the eerie road itself, where Atherton’s attention to detail transforms the setting into a character — dark, menacing, and morally indifferent. The tension grows quietly, with dread arising from what is implied rather than shown, and the narrative moves toward a haunting, unforgettable climax. Atherton’s restrained, elegant prose makes the horror subtle yet compelling, emphasizing psychological unease over overt spectacle. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s suspense, uncanny atmosphere, and slow-burning terror. The Striding Place remains a timeless reminder that even familiar landscapes can conceal forces capable of sudden, unsettling, and irrevocable consequences.
