The town was changing — quietly, terribly — and no one seemed to notice. A new manager had arrived, and with him came rules older than reason and silence thicker than the fog.

Tonight we slow the ritual. On this thirtieth night of Lovecraft, I wanted to do something gentler — a lo-fi reading of one of Lovecraft’s early tales, paired with a little ramble about life, movies, and the chaos of crafting (which… went exactly as well as you’d imagine).

It’s quiet. Imperfect. Personal.

The kind of night where you can just listen, breathe, and be part of the warmth that’s grown here this month.

✨ GIVEAWAY: Leave a 💛 or 😊 in the comments to enter!

I made a tiny handmade craft (my first ever!) as a token of thanks — it’s not perfect, but it’s made with love and, as you'll see, a whole lot of inexperience.

Thank you for being here through every night of this journey. Just one more vault remains to be unsealed.

Goodnight, my darling — and I hope you have very sweet and creepy dreams 🕯️

This whispered gothic ballad of love and betrayal was inspired by a single passing line in The Rats in the Walls — the brief mention of Lady Mary de la Poer, whose death was sealed in silence, her story buried by time and blessed by trembling hands. Written by yours truly.

From that single whisper of history, this three-part tragedy was born — a lament carried through generations, and a song the stones of Exham Priory might still remember.

🎧 Timestamps:

1:10 — Part I: The Vow — A union sealed in faith and shadow.

4:28 — Part II: The Night of Blood — A love betrayed beneath the storm.

8:24 — Part III: The Confession — A prayer that becomes a curse.

🎼 Ambience: rain, thunder, and the hum of the voice — whispered like a confession through time.

🕯️ Best enjoyed in the dark, with candlelight and stillness.

Thank you, my darlings, for following this thread of tragedy through the haunted bloodline of the de la Poers.

And thank you for listening in the dark with me 🖤

Tonight we unseal the twenty-eighth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with one of his most chilling and enduring tales — The Rats in the Walls.

In this story, a man returns to his ancestral home, Exham Priory — a place whispered about for centuries and long left to decay. But the walls remember, and the blood remembers, and soon the rats begin to stir in the dark…

It’s a descent through heritage and horror — a story of madness, memory, and the hunger that hides beneath civilization’s skin. Written in 1923, this tale remains one of Lovecraft’s most haunting reflections on ancestry, guilt, and the inescapable weight of blood.

Thank you, my darlings, for walking this long, shadowed road with me. The finale approaches — and the sea is beginning to call 🌊 Thank you for listening in the dark with me 🖤

Tonight, the Vault opens not to story, but to stillness.

As my voice fades in this final stretch of our journey, I wanted to share something softer — a moment of quiet connection between dreamer and dream.

The Archivist’s Whisper is a Lovecraft-inspired affirmation ritual — a gentle descent into calm, wonder, and cosmic belonging. It’s a reminder that even in the vastness of the unknown, there is beauty, warmth, and a place for you.

We’re nearing the end of our 31 Nights of Lovecraft — only a few vaults remain before our Call of Cthulhu: Anniversary Edition finale. Thank you for traveling so far with me, through every whisper, every storm, every haunted page. Your presence keeps the lantern lit, even on quiet nights like this one.

Thank you, my darling, for listening so tenderly through this entire month of dreams and dread.

Rest well tonight — the finale approaches, and the sea is beginning to stir 🌊

Thank you for listening in the dark with me 🖤

Tonight we unseal the twenty-sixth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with The Descendant — a story of ancestral memory, forbidden knowledge, and the price of remembering what the soul was meant to forget.

Written around 1927 and left unfinished, The Descendant bridges Lovecraft’s worlds of myth and melancholy. A weary nobleman confides in a curious scholar, revealing that his lineage stretches back to an age before human history — to a time when cities dreamed beneath alien skies. It is a story of heritage and horror, where the past is not gone but waiting.

The ambiance for tonight is simple: a cozy crackling fireplace, to carry you through London’s twilight and into the shadows of forgotten kingdoms.

Thank you, my darlings, for continuing this journey with me — we are nearing the end of our descent, and I’m endlessly grateful to share these nights with you.

Thank you for listening in the dark with me 🖤

Tonight we turn the lantern inward with two of Lovecraft’s earliest poems — Despair and Nemesis.

Each reveals the young author’s fascination with lost civilizations, cosmic loneliness, and the haunting beauty of ruin. There are no monsters here — only memory, decay, and the slow turning of the stars.
