Nighttime Stories
by H.P. Nightly
In Nighttime Stories, the narrator H.P. Nightly reads to you stories selected each week to please, stimulate, or (hopefully) make you think. And if not that, at the very least, we aim to amuse you. Listen on to fill and haunt and dim life, turn your mind like the knob to a closet door you can’t remember, arrest the senses by one means (the spoken word) and fill the void that inevitably comes to us each night.

Episode 11 - The Colour Out of Space, pt. 2 - H.P. Lovecraft
Happy after-'Ween. We hope you enjoyed your costumes, breaking time, and debauching in honor of dead ancestors. If you heard our pre-Halloween episode, part 1 of 'The Colour Out of Space', today’s episode we’ll be bringing you the second part. If you have not, go back and have a listen earlier in...

Episode 10 - The Colour Out of Space, pt. 1 - H.P. Lovecraft
What wanders the stars? It troubles man in myriad forms even while it excites the imagination. So often the supernatural is rudely confined to terrors borne of the Earth we live and will always live on. For many of us, the most alien landscapes we ponder lie between our ears or out of sight. And...

Episode 9 - Selections from the SCP Foundation
This week we bring you a curated selection from a project called the SCP Foundation. Unlike our usual tales here at Nighttime Stories, the veracity of this information can neither be confirmed nor denied; we bring you this information in the hope that understanding and knowledge can only preserve...

Episode 8 - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock - T.S. Eliot
T.S. Eliot left us several rather famous poems, and is still a much-perused and often criticized poet to this day. He was a Missourian American and later subject of the crown of the United Kingdom. Such a puzzle to me that kind of immigration and that sort of time in the world, but for that is an...

Episode 7 - The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Today we bring you 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published 1892 in "The New England Magazine". One of the unspoken principles of my upbringing in Williamsburg Bluffs was that of rigid roles for women, especially for mothers, in contrast to the relative freedom of men....

Episode 6 - The Musgrave Ritual - Arthur Conan Doyle
This week we bring you the story originally intended for last week's episode, though we were overjoyed to be able to share an account of a dark god. Our story today, however, is a story of cold logic unlocking secrets in a world without a god, a world where even the prejudice we all turn toward...

Episode 5 - Nyarlathotep - H.P. Lovecraft
A prose poem selected for this week, 'Nyarlathotep', by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in 1920. This week, we bring you a shorter episode than we had originally intended, having just recovered in the studio from a brief catastrophe. Yesterday, the information pipelines in our region were severed...

Episode 4 - Afterward, pt. 2 - Edith Wharton
In this week's episode, we continue the story from episode 3, 'Afterward' by Edith Wharton. Listen on to complete the story of what you won't know until afterward. If you haven't listened to pt. 1, please look back in your podcast feed or visit here: http://nighttimestories.org/afterward-pt1-wharton

Episode 3 - Afterward, pt. 1 - Edith Wharton
Today's episode is the first of two parts of 'Afterward' by American author Edith Wharton. She spent her life in the stubborn and delightfully unbehaved pursuit of literature, a writer not many years after she could walk. Her material was brownstones, cobbles, and the role that was given to her,...

Episode 2 - Ligeia - Edgar Allen Poe
Edgar Allen Poe is well-known and poorly understood. There are many a curious gem scattered in the history of his life. Most recently, I learned of 'Eureka: A Prose Poem', which, while not exactly a prose poem in the sense I’m used to, is fascinating. And frankly sort of maddening. It is exactly...

Episode 1 - Celephaïs - H.P. Lovecraft
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an author little-known in his lifetime, but a huge influence in the 20th century and beyond on the horror and other genres of media. He grew up and lived almost his entire life in a city called Providence in what is now known as Rhode Island; he lived there and he…
