The Lovecraft Circle Cthulhu Mythos Collection

"The Cthulhu Mythos" is a system of entities, books, and locations created by H. P. Lovecraft.

The original "Lovecraft Circle" comprised six authors: Robert Bloch, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Clark Ashton Smith, and Lovecraft himself. This collection consists of 13 Cthulhu Mythos stories penned by members of the circle (excluding Lovecraft) that as of March 2020, are in the public domain.

When I first found this channel almost a year ago, I had just had my wisdom teeth removed, then I got influenza. So hopped up on pain pills and in the midst of a high fever I listened to literally everything on the channel on binge while sitting in an armchair drinking several gallons of tea. It was quite the experience... no regrets.

What a beautiful gift for the night shift security guard

[calviniscool]

The Space-Eaters is a great way to start the collection. Masterfully recited, well done!

[williestreiff]

[siroctavianjefferspinlll]

Listen to your audiobooks to help fall asleep, it’s honestly best channel for me to experience lovecraft’s work through because of how well paced your narration is. You do fantastic work and I’m grateful for what you do.

"A match to warm our little brains!"
I didn't expect that line, I laughed out loud...

[jerrywbrice]

The Space Eaters is a hilarious story. The brain! The braaain! I got dozens of great laughs from that one.

[WilliamSmith-izkl]

Thank you. I listen as I sleep. I have always slept lightly, and I dream about what I am listening to. All of your productions are wonderful. I am a diehard fan. 🐙🦑☺️

[calvinfranklyn]

Can't wait to give this a listen. Thank you, as always, Horrorbabble.

[alswann]

Thanks for sharing. I started down this dark path forty-five years ago and still can't get enough, especially of Two Gun Bob Howard! Crom!

[NightAngelus]

Yes! im stuck at work for 10 hours today. something to make it more bearable. thank you.

[donaldmccleary]

Great stories! This is one of the finest compilations of stories out there! Each of these is fantastic.

Great narration and artwork!!

I could keep this one on repeat for days!!

Thanks!

[illmade]

Excellent narration. I was going to try to stretch this out over a few days, didn't happen. The Howard stories as always are my favorite, I hope someday you will be able to do a collection of all his stories about "the children of the night" and his other Lovecraftesque stories.

[donaldmccleary]

These are all excellent stories! Each is a gem! Thabks for narrating these!

As always, the narration is utterly amazing!

[slewis]

This will keep me busy for awhile! Thanks HB

[spritenox]

Still loving y'all and I hope to expose more horror fans to the joy of your narrations at a Cthulhu LARP this weekend! Keep up the creep!

[cheesewiz]

This is what I'm talking about. Your reading of The Seven Geases is unparalleled. It's one of my absolute favorites from Clark Ashton Smith. Your reading of the Dweller in the Gulf is what got me started on his work

[Mindboggles]

Amazing video, thank you so much for your work. I just finished the video with Lovecraft's own work, so now it's time for this one. The Space Eaters was great! I am thrilled to hear the rest.
Your content is amazing and I really hope you and the channel all the best :)

[curtisgriffith]

Wonderful, another selection of perfect weird tales. Thank you HorrorBabble..
