  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.

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  GETTING DOWN TO MOTHER EARTH: One of the highest ambitions of every man leaving Tuskegee Institute should be to help the people of his race find bottom-find bed rock-and then help them to stand upon that foundation. If we who are interested in the school can help you to do this, we shall count ourselves satisfied. And until the bed-rock of our life is found, and until we are planted thereon, all else is but plaster, but make-believe, but the paper on the walls of a house without framework.

  Sea Stories (Unabridged)

  SEA STORIES, tells the entire tale. You will find excerpts of some of the most famous nautical stories of all time. Most of us have passed through a period of life during which we have ardently longed to be, if not actually a rover, a buccaneer, or a pirate, at least and really a sailor! To run away to sea has been the misdirected ambition of many a youngster, and some lads there are who have realized their desire to their sorrow. The boy who has not cherished in his heart and exhibited in his actions at sometime or other during his youthful days, a love of ships and salt water, is fit for-well, he is fit for the shore, and that is the worst thing a sailor could say about him! The virile nations, the strong peoples, are those whose countries border on the sea. They who go down to the great deep in ships are they who master the world. On the ocean as well as on the mountain top dwells the spirit of freedom. When men have struggled with each other in the shock of war, or the emulation of peace, when they have matched skill against skill, strength to strength, courage with courage, the higher quality of manhood in each instance has been required upon the sea; for there the sharp contention has been not only between man and man but between nature and man as well. A double portion of heroic spirit is needed to meet the double demand. That is the reason we love the sea. It is this Homeric spirit of the Ocean Masters that fills the dreams of youth and stirs the memories of old age. In these dreams and memories the veriest boy catches glimpses of the perpetual Titanic struggle of, and on, the deep; dimly discerning in his youthful way, a thousand generations of heroic achievement before, and through which, he begins to be; and he realizes that the ocean affords such a field for the exhibition of every high quality that goes to make a man as may be found nowhere else.
