Description:

Dagon by H. P. Lovecraft is an early and haunting work of cosmic horror, first published in 1919 in The Vagrant. The story is framed as the desperate confession of a World War I veteran who recounts a terrifying encounter at sea. Adrift after escaping captivity, he drifts onto a nightmarish stretch of seabed where he witnesses the rise of an ancient, monstrous being.

This brief yet powerful tale introduces many of the themes that would come to define Lovecraft’s mythos—cosmic dread, the insignificance of humanity, and encounters with entities beyond comprehension.

Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this recording captures the unsettling mood and creeping madness that permeate the story. While the text is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
