The Festival

H.P. Lovecraft

Title: The Festival 
Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1925 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 40 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Festival by H. P. Lovecraft is a descent into ancestral nightmare — a tale where ancient rites and cosmic dread intertwine beneath the surface of New England’s winter calm. Written during Lovecraft’s mature period, the story evokes a world in which the past is never truly dead, and the living are bound to its monstrous inheritance. 
When a traveler returns to the town of his forebears to attend an ancient Yuletide festival, he finds a celebration not of light, but of the abyss. Beneath the candlelit decay of a medieval church, he witnesses a ceremony older than mankind — a revelation that shatters the boundary between life, death, and the unspeakable beyond. 
Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s cold, ritualistic terror and dreamlike descent into the subterranean unknown. 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, The Festival stands as one of Lovecraft’s most haunting invocations of inherited horror — a chilling reminder that the blood of the past still calls across the centuries.

When a charming human pirate, Captain Kael, accidentally steals the gem during a shipwreck raid, Neria must venture onto land to reclaim it. Disguising herself as a human, she infiltrates his crew, only to discover the gem is slowly dying without its oceanic magic—and taking her people's survival with it. As Neria and Kael race against time to restore the Tidal Heart, they navigate treacherous waters of deception and desire. But Kael has his own secrets: he's not just a pirate but a royal heir seeking revenge against those who destroyed his family. When their conflicting loyalties surface and ancient enemies emerge from the depths, Neria must choose between her oceanic oath and the human who's captured her heart. In a world where love is the most dangerous current of all, two souls from different worlds must learn that some treasures are more precious than gems or gold.
