Eight cyclopean tentacles up, gentlemen.
Cthulhu fhtagn! 😀
Fantastic! So pleased we made the ransom and looking forward to immersing in the HP Podcraft experience 🙂
This is the best news I’ve heard since the call of Cthulhu itself. THANKS GUYS!… I would like that Lovecraft himself could hear this masterpiece from one whose voice would be the envy of Cthulhu himself… the one and only Andrew Leman!
Well done!
Wow, poor Mr. Leman has never sounded more distressed by cosmic horror. Great stuff. 🙂
The Haunter in the Dark, and now this? Excellent. Much thanks for your hard work and throats scorched by the fires of beyond.
WELL DONE! BRAVO GENTLEMEN, BRAVO! I think this is pure gold, especially Mr. Lehman’s voice! 😀
Ahhhh, The Call of Cthulhu read by Andrew Lehman. I am a happy Lovecraft fan. Thank gentlemen.
So happy, this is amazing!!! I’m glad to help with ransom anytime!!
This is….a Masterpiece.
Thank You.^_^
From R., France, who is so happy to be fluent in English. I became a huge fan of this podcast !
Absolutely Fantastic reading, though I might have a preference for the original hppodcraft introduction for this story (with the introductory reading by Heater Klinke – and I’m still whistling the grandiose main theme from time to time… thanks to M. Clark) Well, I guess there is much time taken here in the full reading to rise the dramatic tension…
You guys’ve outdone yourselves. Really, really enjoyed this.
Incredibly well done. It just sounds so right.
Amazing job!!! I’a I’a Cthulhu fhtagn!!
Awesome! Classic! Riveting!
Well done, guys! I am definitley giving this shoutouts on Google+ and Twitter.
“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”
Thanks guys! This is great!
Fantastic reading. Bonus points for pronouncing “R’lyeh” correctly.
[…] of Oregon Gaming Club. To celebrate the candy-fueled season of terror treat your ears to the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast’s The Call of Cthulhu […]
A fantastic masterpiece! iThankU
The music is excellent. The tone of the reading is the best I’ve heard. This is a really first rate production. What kind of recording studio was used? Analog, digital?
Thanks so much, perfect Halloween gift.
Bravi Tutti!!
Abyssus Abyssum Invocat…
@Bradley Smith: Vulgate translation of the Bible, Psalm 42:
“Abyssus abyssum invocat in voce cataractarum tuarum; omnes gurgites tui et fluctus tui super me transierunt”
“Deep calls to deep in the voice of your waterfalls: all your whirlpools and waves have passed over me.”
I’ve fallen in love with this story all over again! Mr. Leman’s reading is sooo great! Thanks.
Great job guys! As always, your readings are the best. Thanks so much.
I listened while reading along today. VERBATIM with the exception of a couple of different words which was likely due to different editions/editors. I’ve been impressed quite favourably with all the readings I’ve listened to so far. Excellent production quality, all the way around. I can’t say enough! Keep up the outstanding work!
I think there’s a problem, I’m not able to download it. The link just sends me to a black screen with a short grey bar and “play” button, but none of it is responsive.
Hi Natalia- try right-clicking and selecting “Save Link As…” to download the file to your computer. Thanks!

Is this no longer available for download? I tried “save as…” but get a prompt for ftp login.

[…] sing a round of “Happy Birthday” in a gargling, strangled voice, then treat yourself to a very elegant reading of “The Call of Cthulhu“, one of his best works and most frequently suggested as representative of his approach. […]
*agrees with Odilius* One and only Andrew Leman, indeed! I adore Andrew’s voice! Specially for this stuff! Oh hells, who am I fracking kidding? I could lisen to that man talk all damn day; would not really matter what he said. *blushes* He is just so freaking brilliant!
Thank you so much for the content offered here. I loved the reading of the call of cthulhu. ;,;
