Apparently HPL wrote this when he was 14 years old (jaw drops in awe).

I recorded this in January 2008 and recently re-edited it to remove background noise and various clicks and pops. I then noticed that the audio is slightly different from the version I found to check it. This is not uncommon - stories were often published in various different publications or anthologies, and revised over the years. I'm not sure which version I used, but I have a book of HPL stories so perhaps I read from that.

There were also a couple of mistakes in the 2008 recording, so I've had to re-record a few words and slot them in. Let me tell you, trying to match the tone of my voice at different times of the same DAY is hard enough, but this was three YEARS ago! I've done my best but you may hear the join. I'll probably re-record the whole thing one day in my better-practiced voice, but that's low priority now - there are so many other stories to get through first!
