Description:

The Unnameable is H. P. Lovecraft’s wry yet deeply unsettling meditation on the limits of language, the arrogance of rationalism, and the encroaching chaos of the ineffable.

Set amid the decaying graveyards of New England, the tale follows two friends — one a writer of strange tales, the other a skeptic — as they debate the very existence of the “unnameable.” Their intellectual banter turns to horror when they confront the impossible firsthand, discovering that some horrors defy not only reason but description itself.

Blending gothic atmosphere with cosmic dread, Lovecraft transforms a seemingly simple ghost story into a darkly humorous and deeply disquieting reflection on humanity’s need to name — and thereby contain — its fears.

Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures both the sardonic wit and the creeping terror of Lovecraft’s vision — a world where words fail and madness begins. 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, The Unnameable endures as one of Lovecraft’s most compact and haunting explorations of the indescribable — a tale that proves some things are better left unspoken.
