The Music of Erich Zann by H. P. Lovecraft

A poor student in Paris becomes fascinated by his neighbor, an old musician who plays unearthly melodies late into the night. As the music grows stranger, so do the unseen forces pressing in on the mysterious violist’s room. Lovecraft crafts a surreal and haunting tale of sound, madness, and the limits of perception. The Music of Erich Zann is one of his most atmospheric stories, filled with melancholy and mystery.
