In The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Lovecraft guides listeners into a decaying coastal town shrouded in mystery, where ancient pacts and unnatural beings have shaped generations. What begins as an innocent detour for a young traveler turns into a spiraling descent into horror, madness, and the terrifying realization of what lurks beneath the surface—both of the sea and of his own ancestry.

So begins The Call of Cthulhu, a dark and unsettling tale of pieced-together horror.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) gilt als der bedeutendste Autor der phantastischen Horrorliteratur - quasi der "Edgar Allan Poe" des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit dem "Cthulhu-Mythos" erschuf er eine ganze Welt, in der außerirdische Wesen, vor Urzeiten auf unseren Planeten gelangt, gottgleich und quasi unsterblich herrschten. Die vorliegende Geschichte "Die Katzen von Ulthar" erzählt von einer rätselhaften Episode in einer kleinen Stadt. Dort ist es verboten, Katzen zu töten. Doch weshalb nur?

H.P. Lovecraft often warned us that there are things not meant to be understood—truths too ancient, too vast, or too alien for the human mind to hold. In The Unnamable, he takes that warning a step further: some things cannot even be described. This story, first published in 1925, is part philosophical debate, part ghost story, and part quiet apocalypse.

The Crawling Chaos is a haunting, surreal tale born from the collaboration between H.P. Lovecraft and writer Winifred V. Jackson. First published in 1921, this story combines Lovecraft’s eerie prose with a dream that Jackson herself experienced, which served as the story’s foundation. In an interesting twist, the two writers published under pseudonyms, with Jackson as “Elizabeth Berkeley” and Lovecraft as “Lewis Theobald, Jun.”

There are Lovecraft stories that roar with cosmic terror — ancient gods, unknowable entities, the madness of knowledge. And then there is What the Moon Brings. This short, haunting piece is not a tale in the traditional sense, but a dream — or rather, a descent. It belongs to that strange and shadowy corner of Lovecraft’s imagination where logic erodes, and we are left adrift in a realm shaped by mood, moonlight, and the whisper of things not quite seen. First published in 1923, What the Moon Brings reads like a surreal reverie drenched in symbolism.

"The White Ship" is a horror short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was first published in The United Amateur (Volume 19) #2, November 1919, and later appeared in the March 1927 issue of Weird Tales. Basil Elton, a lighthouse keeper, engages in a peculiar fantasy in which a bearded man in robes is piloting a mystical white ship which appears when the moon is full. Elton walks across the water on a bridge of moonbeams, joins the bearded man on the ship, and together they explore a mystical chain of islands unlike anything that can be found on Earth.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) gilt als der bedeutendste Autor der phantastischen Horrorliteratur - quasi der "Edgar Allan Poe" des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit dem "Cthulhu-Mythos" erschuf er eine ganze Welt, in der außerirdische Wesen, vor Urzeiten auf unseren Planeten gelangt, gottgleich und quasi unsterblich herrschten. Die vorliegende Geschichte "Polaris" beschreibt einen Menschen, der aufgrund seiner Schlaflosigkeit nicht mehr zwischen Traum und Realität unterscheiden kann. Ein feines Exempel bester klassischer Horrorliteratur in der Tradition Edgar Allan Poes!

Man sagt, dass in Ulthar, welches jenseits des Flusses Skai liegt, kein Mensch eine Katze töten darf. Und dies kann ich wahrlich glauben, wenn ich sie beobachte, wie sie schnurrend vor dem Feuer sitzt. Denn die Katze ist geheimnisvoll und sonderbaren Dingen nahe, die der Mensch nicht zu sehen vermag. Sie ist die Seele des antiken Aegyptus und Überbringerin von Geschichten aus lang vergessenen Städten in Meroe und Ophir.

In einem Olivenhain in Arkadien befindet sich neben den Ruinen einer antiken Villa das Grabmal des Bildhauers Kalos. Einst standen er und sein befreundeter Kollege Musides im Auftrag des Tyrannen von Syrakus in einem künstlerischen Wettstreit, dessen Verlauf und Ausgang ebenso erstaunlich wie unheimlich sein sollten.

Er gilt als einer der weltweit einflussreichsten Autoren im Bereich der phantastischen und anspruchsvollen Horror-Literatur.

"The Nameless City" is a haunting tale of cosmic horror by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in 1921. It follows an intrepid explorer who ventures deep into the Arabian desert in search of a lost, ancient ruin—a city so old that it predates all known human civilizations. As he descends into its crumbling subterranean tunnels, he uncovers strange, reptilian artifacts and eerie bas-reliefs that depict a race of grotesque, non-human beings that once ruled this desolate place.

In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.
