About this listen

H.P. Lovecraft often warned us that there are things not meant to be understood—truths too ancient, too vast, or too alien for the human mind to hold.

In The Unnamable, he takes that warning a step further: some things cannot even be described.

This story, first published in 1925, is part philosophical debate, part ghost story, and part quiet apocalypse. Set amid the haunted graveyards and crumbling architecture of New England, it follows two men—one a romantic believer in cosmic horror, the other a skeptic grounded in logic—as they discuss whether “unnamable” horrors have any place in rational thought. What begins as conversation ends in bruised bodies, shattered minds, and the whispered certainty that some nightmares live not in imagination… but in the walls around us.
