His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison.
  Being rather young at present--I am getting on in years, but still I am rather young--I have no particular adventures of my own to fall back upon. It wouldn't much interest anybody here, I suppose, to know what a screw the Reverend is, or what a griffin SHE is, or how they do stick it into parents--particularly hair-cutting, and medical attendance. One of our fellows was charged in his half's account twelve and sixpence for two pills--tolerably profitable at six and threepence a-piece, I should think--and he never took them either, but put them up the sleeve of his jacket.

  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.
