  Title: The Tree 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1921 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 33 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  The Tree by H. P. Lovecraft is a haunting parable of art, envy, and the quiet vengeance of nature — a story where beauty and death grow from the same root. Set in ancient Greece, it tells of two sculptors, Musides and Kalos, whose friendship and creative genius draw the admiration of all who know them. Yet when jealousy, death, and strange growths intertwine, the boundaries between art and decay dissolve into something both poetic and terrible. 
  Lovecraft’s tale departs from his usual cosmic scale to reveal horror in the natural and the human — a mythic meditation on pride, mortality, and the price of creative rivalry. Beneath its serene surface lies a creeping inevitability, where the living and the dead are bound by the same relentless cycle. 
  Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the story’s classical rhythm and tragic atmosphere — the stillness of marble, the whisper of leaves, and the final, inescapable judgment of the earth itself. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the great voices of the uncanny, The Tree stands as a tale of eerie beauty and timeless punishment — where the roots of envy reach far deeper than the grave. 
  Prepare for a story carved in stone and shadow, where art becomes epitaph and the living are outlasted by what they create.

  "The Dunwich Horror" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in 1928, it was first published in the April 1929 issue of Weird Tales. It takes place in Dunwich, a fictional town in Massachusetts. It is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. In the isolated, desolate, decrepit village of Dunwich, Massachusetts, Wilbur Whateley is the hideous son of Lavinia Whateley, a deformed and unstable albino mother, and an unknown father (alluded to in passing by mad Old Whateley, as "Yog-Sothoth"). Strange events surround his birth and precocious development. Wilbur matures at an abnormal rate, reaching manhood within a decade. Locals shun him and his family, and animals fear and despise him due to his odor. All the while, his sorcerer grandfather indoctrinates him into certain dark rituals and the study of witchcraft. Various locals grow suspicious after Old Whateley buys more and more cattle, yet the number of his herd never increases, and the cattle in his field become mysteriously afflicted with severe open wounds...

  "He" is a short story by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written August 1925, it was first published in Weird Tales, September 1926.
  Plot: The story's anonymous narrator has moved from New England to New York City, and greatly regrets it. One night, while wandering in a historic part of Greenwich Village, he happens upon a man dressed in garments from the 18th century. The man offers to show the narrator the secrets of the town. - The man brings the narrator to his home; there, he tells him the story of a squire who bargained with Native Americans for the secrets of their rituals concerning time and space, which were practiced on the land where the squire had recently taken up residence. After learning these secrets, the squire killed the Native Americans by giving them "monstrous bad rum"; within a week all of them were dead, and he alone had the secret knowledge. The man shows the narrator visions of the city's past and future so terrifying that the narrator begins to scream wildly. The screams rouse the spirits of the Native Americans to take vengeance on the man, who is the same squire from 1768.
