About this listen
- Preface by Matthew Schmitz
The Crawling Chaos is a haunting, surreal tale born from the collaboration between H.P. Lovecraft and writer Winifred V. Jackson. First published in 1921, this story combines Lovecraft’s eerie prose with a dream that Jackson herself experienced, which served as the story’s foundation. In an interesting twist, the two writers published under pseudonyms, with Jackson as “Elizabeth Berkeley” and Lovecraft as “Lewis Theobald, Jun.”
The story follows the protagonist through a vivid, nightmarish journey induced by a mysterious drug, descending into realms beyond human comprehension. Lovecraft’s signature cosmic horror style brings Jackson’s dream to life, conjuring images of alien landscapes, towering storms, and ancient forces that feel as vast and indifferent as the universe itself. It is a tale where reality blurs with dream, and the listener is left grappling with the unsettling notion of humanity’s insignificance in the face of the infinite.
