Hi folks, this is Chad Piper from the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast at H.Podcraft.

I'm sorry to say that we're experiencing yet another delay with the show this week due to some technical difficulties.

Now between family emergencies and too much traffic and feed changes and computer outages,

it almost feels like some dark force is conspiring against us as we get into this

latter half of Lovecraft's work. I'm not saying that there's a cult after us or

anything but I'm pretty sure there's a cult after us. So you know we aren't the types to be

bullied by a cult so I looked around quickly see if we had anything to put on the

air this week and we do have a couple of things we can share. We've got a somewhat sad short story about

the daily life of Lovecraft's best known creation written by me and read by Andrew Lehman.

And we also have a little goofy radio drama Chris and I recorded a couple of years ago while pitching a pulp

adventure show. Of course this is poor compensation when what you really tuned in for was the color

out of space, I know, and we'll have the second part for you very soon, but in lieu of that, we didn't want to leave you alone for your subway ride or your car commute or computer work or painting or paint huffing or whatever it is you do while listening to the show.

So, once again, thank you all for your patience and your

patronage and without further ado here is our first act today Andrew Lehman

reading a short story called Despite Himself, He Dream.

Enjoy. In a small,

small, distant, insignificant universe,

on a small, distant, inconsequential planet, in a small, distant, negligible body of water.

Kathulu sleeps.

His dreams are hazy but pleasurable. The sounds of screaming, stone crumbling, floods, fires, destruction.

And something else, the alarm clock.
