  Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, concluding H. P. Lovecraft’s descent into cosmic nightmare: The Dunwich Horror. 
  The end has come to Dunwich. 
  Across the shattered hills, the aftermath of the unseen terror lies everywhere—homes flattened, fields torn raw, and the very air trembling with the residue of something vast, alien, and grieving in its destruction. The invisible behemoth, once confined to the Whateley farmhouse, now towers over the valley as its final rampage reaches a haunting crescendo. 
  Yet for the first time, a fragile beacon of resistance stands against it. 
  On the heights of Sentinel Hill, a small band of scholars prepares for a confrontation humanity was never meant to face. Armed with forbidden knowledge, perilous incantations, and a desperate understanding of the creature’s tragic origin, they move to end the catastrophe—knowing full well that their minds, their bodies, and their very souls may not survive what comes next. 
  In these final moments, cosmic horror collides with heartbreaking revelation, as the boundary between the human world and the outer void trembles on the brink of collapse. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this concluding chapter delivers the powerful finale to Lovecraft’s masterpiece—a final stand where courage, madness, and the unknowable intertwine beneath a dark and indifferent universe. 
  This is Part 10 of a 10-part complete audiobook. 
  The nightmare ends here… but the echoes will remain.

  "The Viy" is a horror novella by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in the first volume of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835). The title is also the name of the demonic entity central to the plot.
  Every summer, there is usually a large procession of all the students moving around the area as they travel home. However, the group is reduced to three students: the theologian Khaliava, the philosopher Khoma Brut, and the rhetorician Tibery Gorobets.
  As the night draws in, the students hope to find a village near the main road where they can find some rest and food. However, they become lost in the wilderness, eventually coming upon two small houses and a farm. An older woman there tells them she has a little room and cannot accommodate any more travelers, but she eventually agrees to let them stay.
  At night, the woman comes to Khoma. At first, he thinks she is trying to seduce him, but then she draws closer and he sees that her eyes are glowing strangely. She leaps on his back, and he reluctantly finds himself galloping with her all over the countryside with a strength he previously never knew. He eventually slows the witch by chanting exorcisms out loud, and then rides on her back and later picks up a piece of wood and beats her as punishment. The older woman later collapses, and he discovers she has turned into a beautiful girl.
  Khoma runs away to Kyiv and resumes his easy life, when a rumor reaches his dean that a rich cossack's daughter was found crawling home near death, her last wish being for Khoma the philosopher to come and read psalms over her corpse for three nights after her death.
