Many thanks to listener C.L. Larsson who requested these two short tales by H.P. Lovecraft.
In "What The Moon Brings" an unnamed narrator tells of a moonlight stroll which by turns becomes strange and horrifying in nature.
The second tale, "The Thing in the Moonlight," is an extract from a letter written by Lovecraft to Donald Wandrei of a dream wherein a traveller has a ghastly encounter under the light of the moon.
My thanks to Graham Walmsley for the marvellous opening and closing themes he has composed for the podcast.
Graham is the creator of the role playing game 'Cthulhu Dark' and you can find him on Twitter @grahamwalmsley
