Description:

Berenice by Edgar Allan Poe is a haunting Gothic tale of obsession, decay, and psychological terror. The story follows Egaeus, a man consumed by a morbid fixation on his cousin Berenice, whose physical beauty fades under the grip of illness. Poe's narrative explores madness, mortality, and the horrifying consequences of human obsession.

Narrated by [Your Name], this recording captures the story's chilling atmosphere, blending suspense, dread, and macabre elegance. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

This audiobook is part of Timeless Terrors, a dedicated series bringing classic horror back to life — stories from the great masters of the macabre, narrated afresh to haunt a new generation.

Listeners should be prepared for an unsettling journey into the darker corners of the human mind, the obsession with beauty, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked fixation.
