  Eighteen-year-old Mistral is an innocent abroad in the sophisticated Côte D’Azur, where princes and millionaires mingle in the casinos and sumptuous hotels while others plot to relieve them of their riches. Accompanied only by her embittered and domineering Aunt Emilie and kindly servant Jeanne, Mistral appears dressed all in grey like a ghost in the salons and ballrooms of Monte Carlo and sets Society’s tongues wagging. It’s not long before her waif-like beauty has men falling at the feet of Madamoiselle Fântóme – gentlemen such as Sir Robert Stanford. But on her sister’s bewildering but strict instructions, she must not converse with any but the Russian Prince Nikolai, who’s also keen to woo her, as is an opulent Indian Rajah… Something about Mistral touches Sir Robert’s heart – and he cannot understand why Mistral appears afraid to be with him. Yet both of them crave love. Only if Mistral’s innocent eyes are finally opened to the truth – that Aunt Emilie’s motives are borne not of concern for her niece but of pure evil and greed – will she find her heart’s desire…

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Festival, written by H.P. Lovecraft in 1923 and first published in Weird Tales in 1925, is a dark and atmospheric tale steeped in ancient rituals, ancestral mysteries, and Lovecraft’s signature cosmic horror. Set in the fictional town of Kingsport, Massachusetts, the story exemplifies Lovecraft’s ability to weave together eerie folklore, haunting landscapes, and an overwhelming sense of dread. The narrative follows an unnamed protagonist who journeys to Kingsport to partake in an ancient Yuletide festival at the invitation of his ancestors. As he arrives, the town’s atmosphere is permeated with decay and antiquity, and the townsfolk exude an unsettling aura of secrecy. What begins as a solemn, almost sacred event quickly descends into horror as the protagonist witnesses unspeakable rites and is drawn into a confrontation with forces far beyond his comprehension. The Festival is one of Lovecraft’s earliest explorations of his growing mythos, blending elements of New England folklore with hints of the Necronomicon and his broader cosmic themes. The story reflects Lovecraft’s fascination with the thin veil between the mundane and the supernatural, where ancient and malevolent powers lurk just beneath the surface of human tradition.
