Readings from the Raven

Tonight's episode is a short story which deals with the vengeful nature of those amphibious people and their respective Gods mentioned throughout Lovecraft's works.

The Nameless City is yet another of Lovecraft's lesser known works that serves to introduce what are now more widely known elements of the eldritch world he created. In this particular tale, he makes mention of the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, the author of the Necronomicon, the infamous book of the dead that has served as a staple in many a Hollywood production concerning the occult, such as Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. 

Tonight's episode focuses on one of Lovecraft's more brooding works, and makes mention of the infamous Necronomicon and its insane creator. 

Tonight's episode focuses on one of Lovecraft's lesser known works, and is rife with the kind of terror one would undoubtedly experience were they to find themselves in the shoes of the tale's protagonist. Stranded and alone in a pitch black, claustrophobic environment, with the growing certainty that death is all but certain, one's fear would only be compounded upon realizing that someone, or something, else was lurking about in the inky blackness. 

While a rather short story, Nyarlathotep introduces one of H.P Lovecraft's more recognizable characters, the titular sinister being who would later appear briefly in a multitude of Lovecraft's other works. Unlike the creature known as Dagon from the previous episode, or indeed other eldritch entities born from the mad mind of Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep is easily the most malevolent being to exist within the Cthulhu mythos. Whereas many of the other horrors in Lovecraft's works are merely curious or simply ambivalent towards humanity, Nyarlathotep takes sadistic pleasure in spreading madness and suffering throughout the world, and it is believed that he will one day bring about Armageddon. Simply put he is, without equivocation, evil incarnate. 

The first of what I do so hope will become a series of readings from both fiction and non-fiction works, I implore those kind souls who have taken the time to listen to this fledgling beginning to provide me with constructive criticism and feedback concerning the episode at hand. Once again, I would like to sincerely thank any and all individuals who have taken the time to listen to my narration, and I do hope the quality of my work is up to snuff, for I would be overjoyed to continue this pursuit if it is found to be passable by the masses.
