Lovecraft scholars and fans spend lifetimes sifting through his massive storehouse of weirdness. In one of the opening sentences of “The Call of Cthulu,” Lovecraft writes, “the most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents,” perhaps the truest description of his own fictional cosmos. But the persistent bleakness and doom of his vision is countered by an inexhaustibly rich imagination. Although Lovecraft’s fiction features what may be some of modern literature’s most dreadful monsters, the horror in his work is mostly existential, as characters confront a vast, malevolent and thoroughly alien universe that has no regard for human life whatsoever. Should listening to Lovecraft whet your appetite for more, you may just be ready to start reading. Finally, if you somehow can’t find what you’re looking for at any of those links, you’re bound to at The World’s Largest H.P. SFF Audio has yet another huge collection of Lovecraft stories read aloud, downloadable as MP3s. One of the reasons audio of Lovecraft is so plentiful is that most of his work is in the commons.

Just above, stream his complete public domain works, and see the Internet Archive for another audiobook set of his collected works.

His florid, often archaic, and melodramatic descriptions lend themselves perfectly to aural interpretations. Listening to Lovecraft is an excellent, as well as convenient, way to experience his work.

Just above hear a radio dramatization of “The Colour Out of Space,” which was collected in The Best American Short Stories in 1928, one of the few of Lovecraft’s works to receive such an honor in his lifetime. At the top of the post, you can hear a dramatic reading of the story by Garrick Hagon. Central to the Lovecraft cosmos are “The Old Ones,” a collection of powerful primordial beings, and their cult worshipers, first introduced in “The Call of Cthulhu” in 1926.
