About this listen

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), who wrote as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American author who achieved posthumous acclaim for his outstanding and influential works of horror fiction.

'The Hound' is a terrifying story of two morbid young men who add excitement to their dull lives by robbing graves and creating a macabre museum of ghoulish trophies. But one day they open a grave containing a strange and sinister jade amulet...and once they are in possession of this artefact, terrifying events overtake them.

I feel like Cathy Dobson was made to read these short stores. She also read The Outsider which I found equally strong.

H.P. Lovecraft enjoys throwing in the word “indescribable” a bit too much in many of his stories instead of providing the reader minimal details involving something important to the story. Asides from that the descriptions of the world and the grave robbers as well as background history of the amulet gave this story a sense of realism and history. I loved it.
