That there was a boy born out of wedlock to an old family of the town. All the more spoken about because of his dark complection when his mother is albino. He also grows up very quickly, his house smells of death, and cattle seem to be disappearing.

Featured are: "The Cat" by Charles Baudelaire, "The Cat that Walked by Himself" by Rudyard Kipling, "Cats" by anonymous, and "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat" by Edward Lear. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/support

    Today, we finish The Call of Cthulhu. We read about a sailor who has seen Cthulhu and lived (for a time) to (not) talk about it. One more short story before we move on from Lovecraft. Contact me?

    This episode we hear the story of the New Orleans cult, I attempt to redact racist/outdated descriptors. And we end chapter 2 with a conspiracy that the narrator's uncle may have been murdered and that the narrator himself may be in danger. That's what you get for investigating ancient secret organizations in hope of notoriety.

    Today we enter H.P. Lovecraft's possibly best-known work Call of Cthulhu. Also, you get to listen to me stumble over the author's, sorry - elder gods, consonant-heavy language. And some... less-than-desirable descriptions.
