  Title: Nyarlathotep 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1920 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 38 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  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.

  Teddy Roosevelt The Rough Riders...

  The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish–American War and the only one to see combat. The United States Army was small, understaffed, and disorganized in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly thirty years prior. Following the sinking of USS Maine, President William McKinley needed to muster a strong ground force swiftly, which he did by calling for 125,000 volunteers to assist in the war. The U.S. had gone to war in opposition to Spanish colonial policies in Cuba, which was then torn by a rebellion.[1] The regiment was also nicknamed "Wood's Weary Walkers" for its first commander, Colonel Leonard Wood. This reflected their dissatisfaction that despite being cavalry, they ended up fighting in Cuba as infantry since their horses were not sent there with them. 
   
  Wood's second in command was former Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, a strong advocate for the Cuban War of Independence. When Wood was promoted to become commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the regiment became known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders." That term was borrowed from Buffalo Bill, who called his traveling Western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World." 
   
  The original plan called for the regiment to be composed of frontiersmen from the Indian Territory, the New Mexico Territory, the Arizona Territory, and the Oklahoma Territory. However, after Roosevelt joined the ranks, it attracted an odd mixture of Ivy League athletes, glee club singers, Texas Rangers, and Native Americans. All accepted into the regiment had to be skilled horsemen and eager to see combat. The Rough Riders would receive more publicity than any other Army unit in that war, and they are best remembered for their conduct during the Battle of San Juan Hill.
