71: The Tomb

A reading of  "The Tomb," by H.P. Lovecraft. It was first published in the March, 1922 issue of The Vagrant, and first read aloud here, by me, in November of 2025.

Please note: this is a horror podcast, and may not be for everyone. In particular, this story is concerned with loneliness, the idle rich, monomania, desiccated corpses, some lightly implied necrophilia, some ribald poetry, drunkenness, and an involuntary commitment.  If this subject matter is likely to disturb you, you may wish to skip this episode.

You can read this story yourself at HPLovecraft.com, or enjoy the ambient Haunted Cemetery Ambience soundscape by Sound Illusion.

You can text us now. Why? That’s between you and your Elder God.
