Description:

The Transition of Juan Romero is a stark tale of subterranean dread from H. P. Lovecraft’s earliest period — a story of inexplicable terror lurking deep beneath the earth.

Set in a remote Nevada mining camp, the narrative follows a miner who witnesses a fellow worker, Juan Romero, drawn by an unseen force into the depths of an abandoned shaft. As the ground shakes and the darkness seems to breathe, something ancient stirs below — something that should never have been awakened.

With its bleak desert atmosphere, claustrophobic mine shafts, and hints of cosmic forces at work beneath the soil, this story bridges Lovecraft’s early horror with the cosmic themes that would later define his mythos.

Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings the tension, isolation, and subterranean terror to life. 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 Transition of Juan Romero remains a chilling reminder that some depths are better left unexplored.
