Here you'll find our growing collection of Lovecraft's eerie and mesmerizing stories, narrated in my soft spoken ASMR to provide a calming and immersive experience. Let the soothing sounds of rain and thunderstorms create the perfect atmosphere as you journey with me through tales of cosmic horror and the unknown. Together, we're delving deep into his catalog of works, recording each piece one at a time, presented here in chronological order. As this has been more than six years, and I never recorded in any specific order, I'm also re-recording certain stories as my equipment and narration style has improved. This list is far from complete, but we're getting there!
Added to this list will be authors like August Derleth, Robert Bloch, and others with connections to the Cthulhu mythos. Thank you for coming on this journey with me!
