H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The first collection of five vintage existential horror Science Fiction, aka Cosmic Horror, short stories that were written by other authors than H. P. Lovecraft. With a special exception for Β«The Curse of YigΒ» that was ghost written by Lovecraft. To what extent is unknown, but probably a lot.

Each story with its own take.

The stories presented here are:

0:00 Introduction

1:04 The Hounds of Tindalos by Frank Belknap Long

40:54 Dig Me No Grave by Robert E. Howard

1:17:46 The Curse of Yig by Zealia Brown Reed

2:04:33 The Secret of Kralitz bu Henry Kuttner

2:27:06 The Tree of Life by C. L. Moore

Selected and read by myself, Tom Trussel.
