On a decaying tomb in Arkham’s ancient cemetery, two friends—one a writer obsessed with the supernatural, the other a skeptical schoolmaster—debate the limits of imagination and the existence of unnamable horrors. As twilight falls and stories of grotesque, long-buried secrets are shared, they discover that some terrors are not confined to folklore or fiction. The Unnamable is a dark meditation on the limits of language, the power of belief, and the terrifying entities that lurk beyond human understanding—creatures so alien they defy both form and description.
