Synopsis
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
A man given an overdose of opium by a doctor during an illness finds himself torn out of his body and into a vision he cannot wake from.
He is alone in a strange room in an unfamiliar house, and from somewhere beyond the walls comes an endless, rising sound: a pounding he gradually recognises as the sea. The house stands on a narrow spit of land that the waves are eating away, foot by foot. Outside, the beach is gone, the garden is going, and on the horizon the sky itself is beginning to come apart.
Written in 1920 or 1921 with Winifred Virginia Jackson, The Crawling Chaos is one of H.P. Lovecraft’s most purely lyrical pieces: less a story than an apocalyptic prose poem of drowning worlds and cosmic dissolution, and the work that first gave his mythos one of its most famous phrases.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this rare early tale by the master of weird fiction.
