How does the Gospel communicate the eternal truth? Jesus was perhaps the world's greatest storyteller because his sometimes surprising parables conveyed timeless truths. While modern expressions of truth often reflect scientific frameworks, the ancient world just as powerfully expressed crucial truths through parables - stories that illustrate a truth by expressing it as fiction.

Though compassion lies at the heart of the Gospel, it has been little studied in its own right. This book, written by an accomplished scholar yet accessible to the lay listener, fills that void by drawing on the broad and ancient tradition of the Orthodox Church.

This is the same reading of The Call of Cthulhu that you'll find in Pulp-Lit Productions' 82-hour flagship omnibus collection, The Complete Weird-Fiction Works of H.P. Lovecraft. We've packaged it as an individual file for listeners who just want this story. This legendary 11,000-word novelette is the first piece of writing to come off H.P. Lovecraft’s pen after settling into his new home in his old home town of Providence, after his failed attempt to establish himself in New York the previous year.

This is the most famous of the short stories on which H.P. Lovecraft collaborated with fellow Providence writer Clifford Eddy. "The Loved Dead" probably had a bigger impact on Weird Tales magazine than any other story the pulp ever published. Dark, loathsome, and compelling, this first-person tale of necrophilic obsession and night-stalking serial murder sparked widespread outrage and resulted in sales of the magazine being temporarily banned in the state of Indiana as well as several other, smaller local jurisdictions.

In later years, this was H.P. Lovecraft's favorite among his own stories, and many of the most serious H.P. Lovecraft fans readily agree that it's his best work. It is one of his most truly cosmic horror stories, trading not at all on supernatural elements, relying for all its power on the idea of real forces and entities that humans are simply not equipped to fully perceive or understand.
