Description:

Nyarlathotep by H. P. Lovecraft is a feverish descent into chaos — a prose-poem that bridges the human world and the cosmic unknown. Written at the height of Lovecraft’s early visionary period, the story introduces one of his most enduring figures: the Crawling Chaos, a messenger of the outer gods who walks the earth in human guise.

Told through the eyes of a world collapsing into madness, Lovecraft’s narrative unfolds like a dream corrupted — scientific wonder dissolves into nightmare, civilization crumbles, and the stars themselves seem to whisper of doom. Both prophetic and apocalyptic, Nyarlathotep captures the essence of Lovecraft’s cosmic horror: the revelation that knowledge itself can destroy the mind that seeks it.

Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance channels the story’s hypnotic rhythm and creeping dread, evoking a world where reason fails and the universe itself laughs in the dark. 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, Nyarlathotep stands as a haunting invocation of Lovecraft’s mythos — a vision of revelation and ruin that still chills across the centuries.
