About the show

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” H.P. Lovecraft. Enter The Vault of Lovecraft and cross over into a nightmarish world of spine-chilling horror from one of the Twentieth Century's greatest masters of the macabre. This unabridged collection includes many of H.P. Lovecraft's best known works: short stories like The Statement of Randolph Carter, Dagon, Cool Air, and longer stories like The Colour out of Space, Herbert West: Reanimator, and Mike Bennett's Parsec Award-winning recording of The Shadow over Innsmouth. Originally podcast between 2007 and 2019, this podcast is all of Mike Bennett's Lovecraft recordings (so far) collected in one volume.

    March 16, 2021 · 29 min

    Somewhere, to what remote and fearsome region I know not, Denys Barry has gone. I was with him the last night he lived among men, and heard his screams when the thing came to him; but all the peasants and police in County Meath could never…

  • The Music of Erich Zann

    I have examined maps of the city with the greatest care, yet have never again found the Rue d’Auseil. These maps have not been modern maps alone, for I know that names change. I have, on the contrary, delved deeply into all the antiquities…

  • Azathoth

    March 16, 2021 · 5 min

    When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly, in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of spring’s flowering meads…

  • The Colour out of Space

    March 16, 2021 · 1 hr 30 min

    West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of…

  • From Beyond

    March 16, 2021 · 22 min

    Horrible beyond conception was the change which had taken place in my best friend, Crawford Tillinghast. I had not seen him since that day, two months and a half before, when he had told me toward what goal his physical and metaphysical…

  • The Cats of Ulthar

    March 16, 2021 · 13 min

    It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire. For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot…

  • Beyond the Wall of Sleep

    I have frequently wondered if the majority of mankind ever pause to reflect upon the occasionally titanic significance of dreams, and of the obscure world to which they belong…
