  • Summary

  • “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” H.P. Lovecraft.

    I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. Penniless, and at the end of my supply of the drug which alone makes life endurable, I can bear the torture no longer; and shall cast myself from this garret window into the squalid street below...

    The Rats in the Walls
    Mar 16 2021

    On July 16, 1923, I moved into Exham Priory after the last workman had finished his labours. The restoration had been a stupendous task, for little had remained of the deserted pile but a shell-like ruin; yet because it had been the seat of my ancestors I let no expense deter me…

My entry in madness. Passionately performed.

Wonderful, Well Curated and Performed

Extremely well curated titles per episode, read with crisp and creepy aplomb. Significantly more enjoyable than most HPL Audible books. A+
