Man Who Found Out (A Nightmare) by Algernon Blackwood.A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason.Featured on Six Creepy Stories by Edgar Allan Poe.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
