  The Masque of the Red Death, a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe, follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. When Prospero confronts this stranger, he falls dead. The story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading.

  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.
