Description:

The Occupant of the Room is one of Algernon Blackwood’s most unnerving tales — a masterful exploration of unseen dread, isolation, and the subtle encroachment of the supernatural. A man begins to sense an unseen presence in his room, and the story gradually blurs the line between reality and imagination, creating an atmosphere of relentless, psychological tension.

Told with Blackwood’s trademark sensitivity to the unseen and narrated with deliberate suspense, the story examines how fear can inhabit the ordinary and how the unknown can claim dominion over the familiar. Its horror is quiet, creeping, and inevitable, relying on suggestion, atmosphere, and the terror of anticipation rather than overt spectacle.

Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the chilling subtlety and immersive dread that have made Blackwood a lasting figure in supernatural fiction.

Part of Timeless Terrors, The Occupant of the Room endures as a haunting reminder that the most unsettling presences are often the ones we cannot see.
