  An ancient brotherhood meets annually in the back room of a swank Manhattan restaurant, a fraternity created in secret to celebrate life by celebrating its dead. But the past three decades have not been kind to the Club of 31. Matthew Scudder—ex-cop and ex-boozer—has known death in all its guises, which is why he has been asked to investigate a baffling thirty-year run of suicides and suspiciously random accidents that has thinned the ranks of this very select group of gentlemen. 
  But Scudder has mortality problems of his own, for his is a city that feeds mercilessly on the unsuspecting—even the powerful and those who serve them are easy prey. There are too many secrets here, too many places for a maddeningly patient serial killer to hide … and wait … and strike.

  The Festival

  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.
