Welcome! Today, we're checking out 'The Doom That Came to Sarnath' by H.P. Lovecraft, where pride and destruction walk hand in hand. This tale tells of the rise and fall of Sarnath, a city that flourished by annihilating its mysterious neighbors and then faced eerie consequences on its thousandth anniversary. Lovecraft crafts a story of opulence, arrogance, and eventual ruin with a rich backdrop of mythic and supernatural elements. It's a compelling read that dives deep into the consequences of hubris and the inevitability of karma. Ready to see what sealed Sarnath’s fate?
