In which Tod reads The Hound by HP Lovecraft, which was first published in the February, 1924 issue of Weird Tales magazine. As this is a horror podcast, it might not be suitable for all listeners. The story that follows contains graphic depictions of grave robbery, a violent attack by an unseen, supernatural being, suicidal thoughts and plans, a suspicion of madness, and the quest to feel something, anything, in the face of crushing ennui. It’s really quite goth. If these subjects are likely to upset you, please skip this episode.

Our next episode will feature a discussion of The Hound with my insightful co-host, Claire Reynolds. If you enjoy the show, toot at us at https://defcon.social/@podsothoth, for Twitter is dead to us, or write to us at [email protected].
