My first time doing a music submission. I can't remember exactly why I decided to do this but I'm trying something new and narrating an audio book. I needed something reasonably short and I chose The Hound by H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft is a hugely influential horror writer who created the Cthulu Mythos. Some of his work is absolutely amazing and others… for me, his stories are either great or terrible, there is little in between. Apparently, he didn't care for The Hound but I rather liked it.

Published in 1924, The Hound is public domain in both the EU and the US. The background music is either public domain or a Creative Commons CC-BY licence. I recorded the narration and combined all the audio tracks with the free software audio editing programme Audacity.
