The Dunwich Horror (Suspense): Listen via the player below, or download here. When a traveller in north central Massachusetts takes the wrong fork at the junction of Aylesbury pike just beyond Dean’s Corners he comes upon a lonely and curious country…
Northern Lights (Quiet, Please): Listen via the player below, or download here. I was standing on an immense plain that stretched so far, so far into the distance, the plain was snow and eternal ice. A dead, cold, white world with the blackest sky above me. And the northern lights reached from horizon to horizon. Even through the high altitude suit, I could feel the biting cold.

I heard the sound of voices screaming into my mind, I – I could understand them – I wished heartily I’d never played around with cosmic forces…
Nothing Behind the Door (Quiet, Please): Listen via the player below, or download here. There are scores of places in this universe where there’s nothing — far places, near places…

Thanks for these links. I’ve heard Dunwich Horror before, and it was nicely done.
Sorry if you’ve already talked about it before but it would be interesting to know what you think of the Lovecraft pastiches done by the HPLHS, like Dagon – War of Worlds and A Solstice Carol.

I have heard all these and they are great shows. Quiet Please and Nightfall are series that are worth looking up.
