| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome to 1001 Classic Short Stories and Tales. |
| 0:34.6 | And now a novella by H.P. Lovecraft titled The Horror of Red Hook. |
| 0:42.2 | Chapter 1. Not many weeks ago on a street corner in the village of Pascoog |
| 0:51.7 | Rhode Island a a tall, heavily built, and |
| 0:54.9 | wholesome looking pedestrian furnished much speculation by a singular lapse of |
| 0:59.6 | behavior. He had, it appears, been descending the hill by the road from Chappachet and |
| 1:06.6 | encountering the compact section a turn to his left into the main thoroughfare |
| 1:11.1 | where several modest business blocks convey a touch of the urban. |
| 1:16.0 | At this point, without visible provocation, he committed his astonishing lapse, staring |

| 2:15.2 | Japatchett. |
| 2:17.8 | He was, it developed, a New York police detective named Thomas F Malone, now on a long leave of absence under medical treatment |
| 2:25.8 | after some disproportionately arduous work on a gruesome local case which accident had made dramatic. |
| 2:39.0 | There had been a collapse of several old brick buildings during a raid in which he had shared, and something about the wholesale loss of life, |
