So last month we brought you
The Music of Erich Zann. This month we decided to keep the cosmic horror going. And why not? It's our 10th year of podcasting and our H. P. Lovecraft fans have been very good to us, so we'd like to be very good to them!
This month we bring you
The Rats in the Walls-LIVE by H. P. Lovecraft, adapted for audio by
Brad Strickland, with music by The Ghosts Project, accompanied by
Alton Leonard.
This performance was part of our 2012 celebration,
Lovecraft's Nightmares. And it's available for sale! Up to now, performances on the podcast were exclusive to the podcast, but you can
download this performance from Bandcamp. Or, if you're a purist, you can get
the original recording that featured Harlan Ellison!
For the uninitiated,
Lovecraft's Nightmares was our monthlong celebration of the master of cosmic horror. For four weekends in October, ARTC performed a different Lovecraft adaptation from our catalog. The first weekend, we led off with
The Rats in the Walls, featuring
Dave Schroeder in the role of Delapore.

And, as if a month of Lovecraft weren't enough, we invited our good friends Paul Mercer and Davis Petterson, The Ghosts Project, to play along. You can hear them on several of our other performances as well, such as
The Island of Dr. Moreau,
The Call of C'thulhu, and
At the Mountains of Madness, and their music also serves as the intro for our podcast!
