Title: The Moonlit Road

Author: Ambrose Bierce

Narrator: Jonathan Dunne

Original Publication: 1907

Public Domain: Yes

Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 68

Description:

The Moonlit Road is one of Ambrose Bierce’s most chilling and psychologically complex tales — a masterclass in suspense, moral horror, and the haunting distortions of memory. Told through three interwoven perspectives, the story follows a quiet country road bathed in moonlight, where a seemingly ordinary walk conceals a brutal crime. A husband recounts the events with detached calm, a grieving mother seeks desperately for the truth, and finally, the dead themselves reveal what the living refuse to see. Each perspective deepens the unease, exposing guilt, cruelty, and the inescapable consequences of self-deception.

Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Bierce’s razor-sharp insight, dark irony, and moral complexity to life. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the greatest ghost and horror stories ever written, The Moonlit Road is a stark reminder that the truth may linger long after death has spoken. 🕯️
