In this episode of the Cthulhu podcast your host takes a bit of a break due to illness ( a cold that just wont go ). So rather than any reading by myself I've broken the format and included little bits from different places.
The first segment is a piece of ambient style music from a group called "the Unnameable", the album is called "Graves are not hard to digg and acids loth to burn"(sic), the track is called "Teeth & Claws Sharpened on Centuries of Corpses".
This is followed by a short story written by Lord Dunsany called "Horde of Gebbelins" and is read by Mark Smith.
Then is an H.P. Lovecraft poem called "The Book, Pursuit, the Key" which is read and put to a musical accompanyment by Colin Timothy Gagnon.
The show winds up with another shorter track from the Unnameable, this one nicely called "If I am mad, it is a mercy".

This show is inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos. You will hear readings of his works, and horror or ghost stories by other authors. The Lovecraft "period" is primarily the 1920's and you will also hear history and music from that period. The aim is to provide anything appropriate to that time frame. However anything "Lovecraft" like or spooky is likely to appear on this show. You are invited to contribute your stories!

"The Book", "Pursuit" and "The Key" are the first three stanzas (ie. verses) from a larger poetical work by Lovecraft called "Fungi from Yuggoth", for those who are interested. Fabulous reading!
