13 Unlucky Tales of H P Lovecraft

"Howard Phillips Lovecraft is among the greatest American masters of fantasy and the supernatural. Born in 1890, a native of Providence, Rhode Island, his health was uncertain from childhood and he led a sheltered early life. His semi-invalidism enabled him to read omnivorously, and as a shy imaginative child he began to invent what would in his adult life become a whole macabre fantastic world of his own, peopled by creatures out of his own weird imagination. As an adult he was retiring, almost a recluse. Tall, thin and pale, but with bright alert eyes, he was much given to wandering his native city in the dark hours of the night, and he became a devoted student of its antiquities. Although he began to write early he had nothing published until he was in his twenties. He set many of his stories around the imaginary town of Arkham, and invented an entire mythology of his own, its core being the demoniac cult of Cthulhu, based on the lore or legend that the world was at one time inhabited by another race who, in practising black magic, lost their foothold or were expelled, yet live on outside, ever ready to take possession of this earth again.Since his early death in 1937 his stories have continued to attract attention and praise from an ever-growing audience.1 - 13 Unlucky Tales of H P Lovecraft - An Introduction2 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft3 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft4 - The Thing On the Doorstep by H P Lovecraft5 - The Rats in the Walls by H P Lovecraft6 - The Cats of Ulthar by H P Lovecraft7 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft8 - The Color Out of Space by H P Lovecraft9 - The Moon Bog by H P Lovecraft10 - The Horror at Red Hook by H P Lovecraft11 - The Lurking Fear by H P Lovecraft12 - The Picture In The House by H P Lovecraft13 - The Music of Erich Zann by H P Lovecraft14 - Pickman's Model by H P Lovecraft15 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft16 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft"

19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen

"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. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.1 - 19th Century English Love Stories Not by Jane Austen - An Introduction2 - The Lagoon by Joseph Conrad3 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley4 - The Mass for the Dead by Edith Nesbit5 - The Sexton's Hero by Elizabeth Gaskell6 - Diary of a Plain Girl by Amy Levy7 - Modern Melodrama by Hugo Crackanthorpe8 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson9 - The Last House in C Street by Mrs Craik10 - The Story of Salome by Amelia Edwards"
