Nyarlathotep

A very short story, supposedly from a dream. There's not much story to it except for a horrific compulsion. It has excellent imagery and beautiful prose though.

Another perfect piece out of Lovecrafts work for newcomers. A short piece of prose written in Lovecraft's almost dream-like style, tells the tale of Nyarlathotep moving from city to city, starting in Egypt, bringing mystical truths and nightmares everywhere he goes.
