Greetings once again fellow vault-dwellers I have some terrible news.

That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die.

Yes, it is true, Destructomundo!, the podcast panel made up of Adam, Ted, Derek, and James, who would normally bring you advice on how to survive an “end of the world scenario” may have finally met a threat to the world that **GASP** cannot be survived! This due, to the Lovecraftian terror that nobody knows how to pronounce, and his eldritch friends. Cthulhu and his mythos are the latest topic on Destructomundo!

FREE MP3 audiobook of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu

Online Audio

Greylodge Podcasting Company, has some very cool audiobooks up on their site for direct download and torrent. Among them is this classic from H.P. Lovecraft!

Grab both MP3s below for what appears to be a complete and unabridged reading of what some consider Lovecraft’s greatest tale. A story that fantasy giant Robert E. Howard described as:

“A masterpiece, which I am sure will live as one of the highest achievements of literature. Mr. Lovecraft holds a unique position in the literary world; he has grasped, to all intents, the worlds outside our paltry ken. His scope is unlimited, and his range is cosmic.”

Tales of Fear and the Unknown: The Call of Cthulhu

2 MP3 Files Part 1 Part 2– 94 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Landfall Productions
Published: 1989
ISBN: 1873768060
Presented as a manuscript “found among the papers of the late Francis Wayland Thurston, of Boston”. The docments in turn recount Thurston’s discovery of yet more notes, papers left behind by his grand-uncle, a prominent professor of Semitic languages at Brown University. It seems the grand-uncle died suddenly in after being “jostled by a nautical-looking negro.” Strange statuettes and dangerous ocean voyages result.

Lovecraft related podcast: The Dream Cycle of Salem, Mass

Online Audio

The Dream Cycle of Salem, Mass is a podcast pilot associated with LostCarcosa.net (a cool blog that takes its name from the fictional city created by Ambrose Bierce). The Dream Cycle of Salem, Mass intends to focusing on “The writings of Howard Phillip Lovecraft and its effects, relations, and relevancies in the New England area, with particular focus on Salem, MA.” Host Joseph Remy, a Lovecraft scholar and cartoonist, plans on doing some video podcasts – and even though his first podcast outing is little rough I think we should encourage him to stick with audio – that way we can talk about it here on SFFaudio!

Only one episode has been released so far. It is called “TDCOSM #0″: Pickman’s Model” |MP3| and it actually came out way back in September. In it Remy reads segments from the H.P. Lovecraft story Pickman’s Model and talks about the actual places named in the tale.
