27 - Northern Faerie Ring

Today we have an intermission in the long run of Lovecrafts "The Dream Quest of Unkown Kadath". That's right a short break, but not a break in quality. To fill this gap we have a wonderful mythosy story from William A La Fleur called "Northern Faerie Ring". Be sure to check out Williams Blog and the other one he contributes to.

The music in today's show is from Ted Lewis and is called "Dip Your Brush in the Sunshine".

For the history segment we have an overview of the St Valentines day massacre.

24 - The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath Part 1

We're now into the swing of the weekly episodes, to really kick this off I start presenting a book length story by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath". This being a full length story, in this episode I only present part 1, the remaining parts will be coming in subsequent weeks, but not in a contiguous stream, there will be other stories intermingled.

For the history segment I present a brief insight into the popular Crossley cars of the war years and the 20's.

The music is "Prisoners Song" by Kaplans Melodists, a 1925 number.

Finally of course I present the main feature "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" by H.P. Lovecraft and read by Maureen O'Brien.

I've had a couple of stories sent in, but can always do with more, so if you've written a story suitable for the show, please get in touch. If you have any questions, then please send me an email or post your question on the forums ( link on the left ).

Until next time...

23 - The Ebony Frame

After a long long wait for ep22, and then only a week later the Cthulhu show returns!

This week we're back on format with history, music and a story.

The history segment is short bio of the first woman in the US senate "Rebecca Latimer Felton", which happened in the 1920's!. The text of her book "Country Life in Georgia in the Days of My Youth" a biography of sorts is available online.

Then we have a piece of music from Ted Lewis and his orchestra called "I've found a new baby" from 1926.

The story for this episode is called "The Ebony Frame" by E. Nesbit and is read for us by Cori Samuel. Not a Cthulhu Mythos story, more ghostly, but heck, I enjoyed it and I hope you do too.
