  Title: What the Moon Brings 
  Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1923 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 28 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  What the Moon Brings by H. P. Lovecraft is a brief but deeply atmospheric descent into dreamlike horror — a meditation on beauty, decay, and the terrible revelations that emerge beneath moonlight. In a garden transformed by night, the narrator glimpses visions of strange waters, drifting lilies, and a ghastly secret rising from the depths. 
  Blurring the line between dream and nightmare, Lovecraft conjures an imagery of surreal dread and poetic decay, revealing horror not in what is shouted, but in what is quietly seen. This early tale exemplifies Lovecraft’s fascination with the unseen cosmos of the subconscious — where the familiar becomes alien under the moon’s cold gaze. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures the story’s nocturnal rhythm and unsettling lyricism — a whispered journey through shadow and revelation. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to reviving the haunting classics of horror and the uncanny, What the Moon Brings stands as a dream-fragment of cosmic dread and delicate madness — a moment where the beauty of the world turns upon itself and shows its true, terrible face. 
  Prepare for a tale of moonlit decay and spectral wonder, where night reveals more than the waking mind can endure.

  On a cool crisp night in the Epping Forest, a stagecoach was moving amongst the shadows of a full silver moon. "the moonlight gives the forest a magical glow", said Mary Gregory a passenger in the coach. The other passenger was her brother, Magistrate Sir Thomas Gregory, but he thought it felt less magical but more eerie and dangerous. He was seeing highwaymen and footpads in every shadow. The driver was also very nervous as highwaymen were known to work within these woods. Suddenly a handsome well dressed man carrying a brace of gleaming duelling pistols appeared, He was riding a white horse and had come out of the shadows into the moonlight. The nervous driver sped up the coach. The horseman was following the coach but at a faster pace, shouting "Stop now or I'll shoot!" "Stand and deliver, your money or your life!" shouted the highwayman Firing his pistol he winged the driver who knowing the next shot might kill him slowed the coach to a stop.
