Yule Horror - a Lovecraft poem read in ASMR-soft voice

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:00:00 -0500

This week, we delve into the darker side of the holiday season with a chilling poem by H.P. Lovecraft. "Yule Horror" (1926) invites us to unwrap the festive cheer and glimpse into ancient forces that stir beneath the surface- narrated with a soft whisper to lean into. 

Lovecraft blends the joy of Yuletide with a sense of unease, reminding us of the age-old connection between winter celebrations and the slumbering powers of the earth.

Listen closely as we explore this unique perspective on the holiday season and discover the whispers of forgotten gods that linger beneath the surface of our merriment.

Suitable for All Listeners.
Enjoy, and thank you for listening.
