With Halloween fast approaching I thought I'd share one of my favorite H.P. Lovecraft stories, since this is always the time of year I delve into the black pits of madness in search of elder things and forbidden knowledge (I like reading Lovecraft around Halloween).
One of my favorite Lovecraft stories is a very short piece that I believe was one of his greatest early stories, The Cats of Ulthar. I can best sum it up as a Lovecraftian fable that anyone with a great love of cats will enjoy. You can read it here.
A while back the fine gents at the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast put together a magnificent reading of The Cats of Ulthar, which you can download and listen to here. It is one of the best readings they've done, in my opinion.
If you're a Lovecraft fan and have never checked out HPPodcraft then you are doing yourself a disservice.
The image above was done by Jason Thompson, who has created an absolutely beautiful graphic version of Lovecraft's Dreamland stories. Yet another Kickstarter success, it turns out. Where would geeks be without Kickstarter? Well, we'd have a lot less cool shit, that's for sure.
