The Lexicon Of Dread

Written by: John O'Brien
  • Summary

  • The Lexicon of Dread podcast kicks off with a chilling retelling of H.P Lovecraft's masterpiece 'At The Mountains of Madness'. Told from the perspective of a survivor of a failed Antarctic expedition, this novella is a cautionary tale about digging too deeply in Earth's remotest corners. What starts off as a routine fossil hunt quickly transforms into a mind-bending nightmare, as two men come face to face with Earth's most devastating secret...and the evil that calls it home.

  • The Colour Out of Space
    Feb 3 2024

    Lexicon of Dread presents an unabridged rendition of H.P Lovecraft legendary cosmic horror tale.

    On the outskirts of the city of Arkham, a dam surveyor comes upon a very strange sight: a sprawling expanse of grey dust, with the ruined remnant of a house in the center. A place known to the locals as “the blasted heath”.

    The curious surveyor seeks answers from an elderly hermit who lives nearby. The horrifying story that follows begins with the night a meteor crashed into the Gardner family farm…carrying with it a hideous extraterrestrial presence, spreading madness and death.

    Is there nothing that can stop…The Colour Out of Space?

  • The Minister's Black Veil
    Dec 16 2023

    In a little village in colonial New England, there lives a clergyman, the Reverend Mr. Hooper.

    Mr. Hooper is widely respected in his town and regarded as a beloved spiritual advisor. But one day, Mr. Hooper arrives at his church…with a black veil on his face. He never removes it, and never explains why he’s wearing it.

    Now, the people see Mr. Hooper in a different light.

    Respect and love give way to fear and awe.

    What hideous secrets lie behind…The Minister’s Black Veil?
