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.
