Horrorbabble has released the fun and pulpy Lovecraft-as-character story “The Space-Eaters” by Frank Belknap Long, as a new audio reading of 70 minutes.

The appearance of this in Weird Tales for summer 1928 had header art obviously meant to illustrate Lovecraft himself. Possibly the earliest public ‘cartoon-izing’ of him, outside of the fanzines and his letters? I don’t know of any comment he made on seeing the artwork, but he did later note in passing that the tale had provoked two pages of very effusive letters in Weird Tales.

Also recent, Horrorbabble’s five-part audio reading of “The Whisperer in Darkness”.
