SkreemR.com: The Thing In The Moonlight and Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft

SFFaudio Online Audio

I’m always on the lookout for new online audio, now I’ve got a cool new search engine that isn’t google based. Check it out. SkreemR.com brought up 51 working files on my very first search (I searched for “lovecraft”). Of those 51 MP3s, many were links to SFFaudio or LibriVox, but I found a couple of new ones too…

First up, an unusual H.P. Lovecraft tale. According to Wikipedia….

“This story is based upon a letter Lovecraft wrote to his friend Donald Wandrei, dated November 24, 1927. In places, the letter and published story are identical, word-for-word. This letter describes a dream that Lovecraft had.” Apparently, the story was completed for publication by [J. Chapman] Miske, who filled in the story surrounding the description of the dream.”

Have a listen, don’t mind the music…

If anyone knows more about the creators of these MP3s please let me know.

H.P. Lovecraft lovelies from Forbidden Dragon

SFFaudio Online Audio

I’m a sucker for pretty much anything Lovecraft, and judging from the stats for our site a good number of you are too. Which means we’ll all be pleased that I spotted these two Lovecraft items on the Internet Archive the other day. Curious, I traced them back to the source. It turns out that Marlo Dianne, an SF writer and blogger is responsible, she’s got these and more, including some of her own stories over on her Forbidden Dragon blog. First up a poem…

Convinced that death is merely mechanical failure, and that they can find a chemical mechanism to reboot the machine, West and our nameless narrator, are on the hunt for bodies–the fresher, the better. Through graveyards and laboratories, they want to find death, chase it, trap it, prod it, and defeat it. But when you chase something to within arm’s reach, it can reach back…

H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Out Of Time

SFFaudio Online Audio

In June 1936 Astounding Science Fiction magazine published H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Out Of Time a short story that is the “single greatest achievement in fiction” (according to Lovecraft propagandist Lin Carter). Carter called it “amazing [in] scope and [with a] sense of cosmic immensitude” and that’s no small praise. Have a listen to it and judge for yourself. Let “the gulfs of time” open and, submit to “the titanic sweep of the narrative.” Embrace the adjectives! This story has a massive wikipedia entry all of its own.

The story indirectly tells of The Great Race of The Yith, an extraterrestrial species with the ability to travel through space and time. The Yithians accomplish this by switching bodies with hosts from the intended spacial or temporal destination. The story implies that the effect when seen from the outside is similar to demonic or spiritual possession. The story is told through the eyes of Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, an economics professor from Miskatonic University who is “possessed” by a Yithian. Peaslee fears he is losing his mind when he unaccountably sees strange vistas of other worlds and the Yithian library city. However, while he was experiencing a Yithian existence in earth’s ancient past, the Yithian occupying his body was experiencing a human one in the present day. But that was only the beginning of the horror…
