He by H. P. Lovecraft

A chance meeting with a mysterious man in Greenwich Village leads the narrator through a journey of illusion, history, and horror. As visions of past and future horrors unfold, reality crumbles and the true nature of “He” is revealed. Lovecraft blends urban legend with time distortion in this eerie, dreamlike story. It’s a meditation on decay—of cities, of cultures, and of self. A quiet but powerful tale of spectral dread.
