In todays episode I have broken from format to present a single episode from an old radio show called "Dark Fantasy". The story presented is dark and creepy, and is a good representative member of the series.
The whole of the "Dark Fantasy" series can be downloaded legally and for free.
I dont plan to make a habit of presenting radio programmes in this way, but I thought the show was very good and worth sharing.

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!

18 - The Red Room
In this episode of the Cthulhu Podcast I have the usual menu of three items for you.
First up I have details of a 1920s gangster known as Fred "Killer" Burke.
Then we have a musical interlude, a track called "Just Breezing Along with the Breeze" by the Adrian Schubert Band, recorded in 1926.
And last up, we have a creepy story from H.G. Wells called "The Red Room".
I'm now looking for listener submissions. If you have written a scary or creepy story set in or around the 1920s or have a story set any time using elements of the Cthulhu / Lovecraftian mythos, then please get in touch ( email on the left ).
