About this listen

"The Doom that Came to Sarnath" (1920) is a fantasy short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It is written in a mythic/fantasy style and is associated with his Dream Cycle. It was first published in The Scot, a Scottish amateur fiction magazine, in June 1920. The Doom That Came to Sarnath and Other Stories is also the title for a collection of short stories by Lovecraft, first published in February 1971. According to the tale, more than 10,000 years ago, a race of shepherd people colonized the banks of the river Ai, in a land called Mnar, forming the cities of Thraa, Ilarnek, and Kadatheron (not to be confused with Kadath), which rose to great intellectual and mercantile prowess. Craving more land, a group of these hardy people migrated to the shores of a lonely and vast lake at the heart of Mnar, founding the city of Sarnath.

Genius

Lovecraft invented a world and stories written in a way that needed and had little line of characters! All he needed was his narrative! Which was enough! Like Poe his style was the world of his fiction and not the heroes indulgence. Although much dark descriptions went into the terrifying ‘demons’ or ‘gods’ of the hidden universe of his design which was itself inspired from some kind of Alien or pagan sources.
