And they’re off! The Vacation Necronomicon School, a summer school for literary Lovecraft fans, started today with an initial ‘taster’ assignment for beginners. Over the weekend, we’re reading “The Cats of Ulthar” if you’re a Lovecraft beginner. Or revisiting “At the Mountains of Madness” if you’re an old Lovecraft hand. More formal assignments start on 18th July.
If you’d like to listen to “The Cats of Ulthar” there are three free Librivox recordings. But I wasn’t satisfied with any of them — so I’ve created a new Creative Commons audio reading of the story to celebrate the return of the Summer School.

A new edition of Salon Futura is now available, including a podcast of a round-table on running a small publishing house. (Direct MP3 link, 57Mb | 57 minutes). Starts properly at 6:14.
There was a handy ePub edition for the first two issues of Salon Futura, but it seems to have vanished. Perhaps someone could volunteer to keep that valuable side of the magazine going?

MythosCon is coming up fast: Jan 6th – 9th 2011. Can I urge the making of audio podcasts of the panel discussions, for distribution after the event to those who can’t get to the USA?

A new 55 minute audio recording of Erik Davis (author of the excellent TechGnosis) on “Dreaming, Writing, Philip K. Dick, and Lovecraft”, at the 2010 Philip K. Dick Festival. Incidentally, Davis has a new book of collected essays out in October 2010: Nomad Codes: adventures in modern esoterica…
“Essay subjects include: H.P. Lovecraft”
Although possibly this is the “Cthulhu is Not Cute”, which is already online for free.

Will Hart (cthulhuwho1) celebrates Lovecraft’s 120th Birthday in style by releasing an ultra-rare tape-to-MP3 conversion of a 1978 World Science Fiction panel discussion…
“163 minutes with Professor Dirk W. Mosig, Professor Donald R. Burleson, J. Vernon Shea, Fritz Leiber, Jr., and S.T. Joshi”
The topic is: “What if Lovecraft had lived into the 1960s?”.

Need royalty-free dark ambient music for your H.P. Lovecraft podcast or audio-zine? Composer Mark Morgan kindly has 24 tracks of his finest dark ambient music — for free. The Vault Archives album is Mark’s music from the first two Fallout videogames, remixed and remastered in full-spectrum gorgeousness. If you’re looking for quality horror / thriller / eerie background music, this is it. It’s free to use for non-profit purposes. There are also some more bitter-sweet tracks such as “Dream Town”, and some that would suit the night-time “travelling” scenes in a downbeat road movie. Download from Archive.org.

The Drabblecast : short stories from the far side of the weird, has a new free audio reading of Lovecraft’s “The Outsider”.

Also extracts from the “The Fungi From Yuggoth” sonnet sequence. If their embedded Quicktime trips you up, their plain MP3 download links are here.
I’ve added Drabblecast to the ‘Fiction magazines’ category on my “Lovecraft on the Web” directory.

A free audio-book of Lovecraft on Spotify, made and read by a radio pro. The delivery is a little fast, but entertaining sound FX are interwoven with the stories.

Just posted, a new hour-long podcast interview in the excellent Lovecraftian Obsession series. Episode 6 — W.H. Pugmire.
I’ve also found a new (to me) podcast called Yog Radio. It seems to be more of a Cthulhu RPG gaming thing, but also has the occasional more literary interview. And with 40+ episodes so far, there’s got to be a good few hours of non-game material in there.
