A new commercial reading of the Lovecraft sonnet cycle, Fungi from Yuggoth…
“A reading of H.P. Lovecraft’s Fungi from Yuggoth, set to music. Written in a short period between 1929-1930, Lovecraft’s sonnet cycle of 36 poems express his own unique visions of horror and wonder in a succinct and atmospheric style. In the Innsmouth House Press edition of this work, HPL’s poetry is read by Paul Maclean and set to specially composed music by Allicorn. The recording also comes with a 25 page booklet which includes the sonnets themselves, a brief history of Fungi from Yuggoth, footnotes on select poems and an introduction by Lovecraftian author, W.H. Pugmire.”

What seems to be the complete run of the Secret Service dime novel magazine (1899-1912, home of the Bradys) is now available in full-text via Google Books. The juvenile Lovecraft was an avid reader in the second half of its run. Search Google Books for: “Secret service” “bradys” -bunch The Bradys frequently ventured to Chinatown and its underground tunnels, into decaying swamp houses, at least once to the Arctic, several times to Africa, exposed numerous fraudluent magicians and spiritualists, and opium dealers — among other themes that Lovecraft fans will be familiar with.
