    No one who is listening to him will ever forget him: Nyarlathotep – the Crawling Chaos.Who or what is Nyarlathotep? An artist, a scholar, a prophet …? Only one thing is for sure: Wherever the Egyptian shows up, he implants cosmic horror into the people's minds. What has been premonition yesterday has become horrible certainty today. Where is mankind going? From light into darkness, from city to wilderness, along the ruins of our civilisation … straight into the heart of chaos.But rarely Nyarlathotep has been more appealing than in the actual prose poem.That of course is also due to the irrational, dreamlike narrative tone. The narrator Dominik Valentin Peter takes up Lovecraft's voice in a congenial way. By virtue of his recitation, he actually is bringing the visions of the cosmic evangelist to life. Last but not least the suggestive sounddesign plays a part in creating an atmosphere of fear and desperation.

    **_There’s no one above a KING... And yet, I’m restless._** I’m an uncontrollable beast that throbs in time with the heartbeat lulling me closer while a sweet, feminine scent overtakes my senses. I’ve never felt this before—a hunger so frenzied that I’m lost to its call. This siren’s song is solely meant for me, and I give in without pause or question. Because I know and accept. A single drop of blood running through her veins is worth more than every soul walking this earth. She is now what tethers me to this world. And the second I see her face, I'm done for. Nothing fucking matters. ** I AM DARKNESS.** I AM SIN. I AM YOURS. I'll live and breathe for my Queen. My pretty girl.

    Rosy Winter is dying.  Her husband, Charlie—sweet but out of his depth—tries to be supportive. Her sister-in-law, Sally, is too distracted by her own problems to help. Her students, once a source of delight, are now a daily reminder of Rosy's mortality. So, Rosy succumbs to anguish, allowing a force—murderous, sensual, feverish—to awaken and stir within her. An embodiment of her rage, a twisted joie de vivre, ripping recompense from the world around her.  A powerful feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic classic, Mrs. Jekyll is a brilliant, evocative, and lyrical story of one woman's refusal to yield her passion for life, even as her body betrays her.

    "The Rats in the Walls" is a short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in August–September 1923, it was first published in Weird Tales, March 1924.In 1923, an American named Delapore, the last descendant of the De la Poer family, moves to his ancestral estate in England following the death of his only son during World War I. To the dismay of nearby residents, he restores the estate, called Exham Priory. After moving in, Delapore and his cat frequently hear the sounds of rats scurrying behind the walls. Upon investigating further, and through recurring dreams, Delapore learns that his family maintained an underground city for centuries, where they raised generations of "human cattle"—some regressed to a quadrupedal state—to supply their taste for human flesh. This was stopped when Delapore's ancestor killed his entire family in their sleep and left the country in order to end the horror, leaving the remaining human livestock and a surviving relative to be devoured by the rats inhabiting the city's cesspits.Maddened by the revelations of his family's past, a hereditary cruelty and his anger over his son's death, Delapore attacks one of his friends in the dark of the cavernous city and begins eating him while rambling in a mixture of Middle English, Latin, and Gaelic, before devolving into a cacophony of animalistic grunts. He is subsequently subdued and placed in a mental institution. At least one other investigator, Thornton, has gone insane as well. Soon after, Exham Priory is destroyed and the investigators decide to cover up the existence of the city. Delapore maintains his innocence, proclaiming that it was "the rats, the rats in the walls", who ate the man. He continues to be plagued by the sound of rats in the walls of his cell.
