Alan Davey Vision Quest Request

[Chris Allen]

There are a few fantastic radio plays of Lovecraft works by the Atlanta
Radio Theatre Company/
http://www.artc.org/catalog/hpl.html

<http://www.artc.org/catalog/hpl.html>The Shadow Over Innsmouth and At the
Mountains of Madness being two particular favourites of mine.

Mind you, I've a wee soft spot for HP Lovecraft the band, too.  Maybe I
shouldn't admit that openly...

Chris.
