Podsothoth: A Lovecraft Book Club

23: Nyarlathotep

July 03, 2022 Tod Beardsley and friends Season 1 Episode 23

For tonight's episode, you'll hear the prose poem, "Nyarlathotep," which was first published in the November, 1920 issue of The United Amateur. Analysis, explorations, and jaunty banter will follow later, in episode 24.

Please be aware, this story contains visions, portents, and omens regarding the end of days; mass hypnosis; and a mispronunciation of the word "tenebrous." If you feel you might be unduly disturbed by these elements, then please skip this episode.
