The Call of the Old Ones: An Annotated Cthulhu Mythos Collection

"Including works by members of the original Lovecraft Circle: Robert Bloch, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, and Clark Ashton Smith. In the depths of human imagination lies a realm in which ancient gods stir in their slumbers, where forbidden knowledge teeters on the edge of consciousness, and where cosmic horror threatens to cast its suffocating veil over reality. This is the world of the Cthulhu Mythos, the creation of one of the most enigmatic and influential writers of the 20th century, H. P. Lovecraft. Opening with an introduction to the Great Old One himself in The Call of Cthulhu, we’ll explore the works of those who contributed their own tales to the mythos, expanding and enriching it with their unique perspectives and distinctive voices. We'll encounter unimaginable entities such as Azathoth and Hastur—those uncanny beings whose mere existence defies comprehension. And we'll meet the intrepid human beings who dared to seek out forbidden knowledge, often to their peril, coming up against the boundaries of human understanding and the terrifying implications of cosmic insignificance. Prepare to be drawn into a world where reality is but a fragile mask—where the unknown lurks just beneath the surface. Steel yourself for a voyage that examines the unfathomable, the unimaginable, the inescapable. What became of those who answered The Call of the Old Ones?"

Ambrose Bierce, Clark Ashton Smith, H.P. Lovecraft, Henry Kuttner, Mearle Prout, Robert Bloch, Robert E. Howard (Author), Ian Gordon (Narrator)

Psycho House

"The new Bates Motel is a tourist attraction, a re-creation of the infamous murder site, and the developers are already counting their profits. But there's a new exhibit that nobody expected: the bloody corpse of a teenage girl crumpled in the front hall, stabbed to death. Among the avalanche of press and publicity is reporter and true-crime book writer Amelia Haines, who is studying the original Psycho killings. To her, the new murders are a golden opportunity; if she can become part of the investigation, perhaps track down the killer herself, then her fame and fortune will be assured. But catching the madman won't be easy: the town is full of suspects, and Amy's best informants keep turning up murdered. If she isn't careful, Amelia Haines may become the next permanent guest at the Bates Motel."
