Description:

The Statement of Randolph Carter by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting tale of the unknown and the incomprehensible. First published in 1920 in The Vagrant, it recounts a disturbing testimony given before authorities, where the narrator struggles to explain the fate of his companion.

Told as a sworn statement, the story unfolds through Carter’s account of a midnight exploration of a graveyard and the horrifying events that follow. As his friend descends into a crypt, strange sounds and an overwhelming sense of dread mount, culminating in a final revelation that suggests forces far beyond human understanding.

This recording, narrated by Jonathan Dunne, captures the eerie tension and creeping inevitability that defines Lovecraft’s early fiction. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

Listeners should be prepared for an unsettling meditation on forbidden knowledge, cosmic dread, and the terrifying mysteries that lie buried in the dark.
