This is just so cool that I had to write about it. Cadabra Records has announced that they will be releasing a spoken word LP in January that features two stories from American horror mastermind H.P. Lovecraft! The record will feature two stories, “The Hound” and “The Music of Erich Zann”, both read by Andrew Leman.
Leman is a partner in the H.P. Lovecraft historical society as well as a professional actor with years of stage, screen, and audio performances.
Per the official press release:
Cadabra Records specializes the Spoken Arts — specifically, dark words in the vinyl format — and The Hound & The Music Of Erich Zann will see an initial first pressing of 500 copies. The LP will be pressed on 150-gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold tip-on “old style” jacket, including a 4-page booklet with new liner notes and more. Preorders will be made available the first week of November and the album will ship out in January.
Lovecraft is the man behind such stories as The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains Of Madness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror and many more.
