Added two audios: “At the Mountains of Madness” and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”

The BBC did a fantastic job with their audio versions of At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Over Innsmouth.  In my opinion, these are the best audios of these stories ever done.

I added them to the Lovecraft eZine audio page.  I’ve also posted them below, for your convenience.

Enjoy!

At the Mountains of Madness – [free to listen at Spoken World Audio: At the Mountains of MadnessI am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why. It is altogether against my will that I tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the antarctic – with its vast fossil hunt and its wholesale boring and melting of the ancient ice caps. And I am the more reluctant because my warning may be in vain…

Shadow Over Innsmouth, The – [free listen, play Youtube video below] Nothing that I could have imagined—nothing, even, that I could have gathered had I credited old Zadok’s crazy tale in the most literal way—would be in any way comparable to the daemoniac, blasphemous reality that I saw—or believe I saw. I have tried to hint what it was in order to postpone the horror of writing it down baldly. Can it be possible that this planet has actually spawned such things; that human eyes have truly seen, as objective flesh, what man has hitherto known only in febrile phantasy and tenuous legend?

  1. I know them both from old, as Radio 4Xtra, as it now calls itself (used to be BBC7), has repeated them a zillion times. Having said that, I generally get caught into listrening to them almost every time they broadcast them. I SO love Richard Coyle’s voice… A nice find, Mike!
    PS. Hope you’re feeling better.
