"The Terrible Old Man" by H. P. Lovecraft (1920)
<p>"The Terrible Old Man" is the first short story by H. P. Lovecraft to introduce readers to his imaginary New England setting of Kingsport.

"Jessie Cameron" by Christina Rossetti (1864)
<p>Unrequited love ending in the death of two young people on a beach. But who is to blame? The ocean or the boy? We may never know. But we can at least enjoy this short poem from Christina Rossetti and ponder what could've been the cause of the tragic ending.</p><p>**BEST APPRECIATED WITH HEADPHONES**</p><p><strong>Intro Music:</strong></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Classics Piano Progression”</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Smile”</strong></p><p>Creator: Crowander</p><p>Source: Free Music Archive (<a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/atmosphears-experimental-atmos/09-dark-smilemp3" rel="nofollow">https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/atmosphears-experimental-atmos/09-dark-smilemp3</a>)</p><p>License: CC BY-NC 4.0 (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="nofollow">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/</a>)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Title: “Thunderstorm - highlights”</strong></p><p>Creator: Thalamus Lab</p><p>Source: <a href="http://freesound.org/" rel="nofollow">freesound.org</a> (<a href="https://freesound.org/people/Thalamus_Lab/sounds/234079/" rel="nofollow">https://freesound.org/people/Thalamus_Lab/sounds/234079/</a>)</p><p>License: CC BY 3.0 (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a>)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Musical Score</strong></p><p><strong>Title: "Dark Classics VII"</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Outro Music:</strong></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Classics in Reverse”</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p>

"The Haunted Oak" by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1900)
<p>According to the University of Dayton Paul Laurence Dunbar, the son of two freed slaves from Kentucky, “was the first African American to gain national eminence as a poet."</p><p>"The Haunted Oak" was written just 6 years before passing away at the age of 33 from health complications. The poem is written from the perspective of an oak tree where a black man was unjustly lynched, and the tree finds itself haunted by the pain of the man.</p><p>Sadly, this poem reflects one of the darker periods of American History where this type of thing was common place. On this Halloween night, may we find a brighter light that can often be found as we peer in to the darkest reaches of our own history to confront and learn from it.</p><p><strong>**BEST APPRECIATED WITH HEADPHONES**</strong></p><p><strong>Intro Music:</strong></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Classics Piano Progression”</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Smile”</strong></p><p>Creator: Crowander</p><p>Source: Free Music Archive (<a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/atmosphears-experimental-atmos/09-dark-smilemp3" rel="nofollow">https://freemusicarchive.org/music/crowander/atmosphears-experimental-atmos/09-dark-smilemp3</a>)</p><p>License: CC BY-NC 4.0 (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" rel="nofollow">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/</a>)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Title: “Thunderstorm - highlights”</strong></p><p>Creator: Thalamus Lab</p><p>Source: <a href="http://freesound.org/" rel="nofollow">freesound.org</a> (<a href="https://freesound.org/people/Thalamus_Lab/sounds/234079/" rel="nofollow">https://freesound.org/people/Thalamus_Lab/sounds/234079/</a>)</p><p>License: CC BY 3.0 (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="nofollow">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a>)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Musical Score</strong></p><p><strong>Title: "Dark Classics VI"</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Outro Music:</strong></p><p><strong>Title: “Dark Classics in Reverse”</strong></p><p>Creator: Jonathan Hamlett</p><p>Source: Direct Permission</p><p>License: Direct Permission</p>
