2\. An Antecedent and a Horror
4\. A Mutation and a Madness
5\. A Nightmare and a Cataclysm
A private hospital in Providence reports the baffling case of a young man named Charles Dexter Ward, whose physical condition defies medical explanation. His body bears an unnatural age, his voice is reduced to a whisper, and his skin carries an eerie chill that unsettles every witness. When he vanishes through an impossible window, only a fine, bluish‑gray dust remains, and the doctors are left questioning whether they have witnessed a supernatural escape or a terrifying hallucination.
Ward’s fascination with antiquities and genealogy has always set him apart, but recent years have seen him abandon those comforts for a desperate plunge into occult studies. His frantic attempt to grasp the modern world he feels deprived of fuels a growing dread among those who knew him. Listeners are invited to follow Dr. Willett’s uneasy pursuit of truth through a labyrinth of madness, mystery, and the unseen forces that may lie just beyond ordinary perception.
