When it comes to horror, the name H.P. Lovecraft carries a lot of weight. The man is responsible for creating stories that have inspired films such as Dagon, From Beyond, and Re-Animator while also setting a foundation for stories such as Hellboy, The Mist, In the Mouth of Madness, and more. His visions of epic, monstrous deities has fascinated and terrified audiences for nearly a century and he is widely regarded as a master of his craft.
Several months ago, we posted about how Lovecraft’s works were going to come to vinyl as read by Andrew Leman, who is a partner in the H.P. Lovecraft historical society as well as a professional actor with years of stage, screen, and audio performance experience. Now that the first LP has been released, the next edition is on the plate and we’re here to give you a brief taste of what’s to come!
Above is a sample of Leman reading from Lovecraft’s Hallowe’en In A Suburb And Others and, as you can hear, there’s a lot of love and production put into this project.
The record, which comes out April 29th, is being released, “…as a limited 7” title, which is currently being pressed on clear vinyl, in an edition of 150 copies. The cover will be hand-screened in silver ink on a fold-over cover, printed on French paper, and includes an insert.”
Pre-orders for the record begin at 12pm EST today over at Cadabra Records.
