A shadow of degeneration, tainted ancestry and forbidden mystery hangs over the New England town of Innsmouth. The narrator of this novella by H. P. Lovecraft, a college student touring the detaining berg, discovers far more then he bargained for. Normal citizens tend to disappear, while the indigenous residents are taking on a fish-like appearance. Strangers are definitely not welcome in this rotting town where heathen ceremonies are said to take place. And could it be that the narrator is starting to resemble his grandmother and dead uncle Douglas?

This short story became possibly H.P. Lovecraft's favorite. Lots of things and possibilities going on here. A meteorite has crashed near a small farm west of Arkham, Massachusetts and strange things begin to happen. The life force seems to be being drained from living organisms near the well. The story is being told by a surveyor who is surveying the area prior to a damn being built that will flood the area with a lake. The potential problem is, the "thing" lives in the water of the well.

Once again they are dormant, but can the professor convince others to leave sleeping monsters lie?

Imagine a romantic afternoon on the seashore when a man and woman sunbathing have the sense that there is something wrong. The woman has the intuition that the sea or something in the sea has designs on her man. Has the ocean developed a personality, an identity?

The woman makes every effort to keep the man out of the grasp of the lustful sea, but will her efforts be enough to keep her man?

Written as a sequel to Second Variety, this is an exciting and thought-provoking view into a different world than the one left in "Second Variety". We have a fascination with time travel. But what could go wrong? Give this a listen, and see what you think.

Time travel may have its consequences. We can only speculate. Philip K. Dick takes us there.

A cat walking across a room swerves suddenly and walks carefully around something we can't see. We shrug, smile, and remark that cats are always doing that. Our hitherto amiable dog suddenly develops the irritating habit of barking and growling violently at certain innocent passersby. We still shrug, wonder what's got into the mutt, and pass it off. Mr. Dick argues with frightening urgency that if we are wise, we wilt immediately investigate these oddities of animal behavior.

Award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti recites William Shakespeare's Sonnet 31.

If, after a great struggle, the East were to prevail over the world, what sort of civilization would be imposed by the victors? Would it be an oriental version of the societies we know - or might the great old culture be superimposed upon what was left of Western technology? The story is set in a post-apocalyptic future where global civilization is governed by a hierarchical, religious society centered around belief in karmic-based reincarnation metaphorically viewed as moving forward or backward on a turning wheel.

Unfortunately, Arthur C. Clarke has very little in common with a ballpoint pen - a pity, since he spends so much of his time under water. Writing memorable novels might might be enough in itself for an ordinary man, but for Clarke these represent only interruptions in that dominating area of his life which was spent with goggles and aqualung, competing with fish and porpoises on their own premises. Still, let us be thankful for what fate gives us; for it is unlikely that anyone without at least a trace of dolphin blood could have delighted us with this story.

Lovecraft dedicates this horror story to Robert Bloch, who has killed Lovecraft's character in "The Shambler to the Stars".

Part of Lovecraft's dream series, Celephaïs was created in a dream by Kuranes (which is his name in dreams - his real name is not given) as a child of the English landed gentry.

Finally knights guide him through medieval England to his ancestral estate, where he spent his boyhood, and then to Celephaïs.
