Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

**Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle** (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and medical doctor. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for *A Study in Scarlet*, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer; other than Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the *Mary Celeste*.

Doyle was found clutching his chest in the hall of Windlesham Manor, his house in Crowborough, East Sussex, on 7 July 1930. He died of a heart attack at the age of 71. His last words were directed toward his wife: "You are wonderful."

   The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe is undoubtedly one of the most popular pieces of literature in the history of the horror genre, and here the poem gets the deluxe treatment with a meticulously professional delivery in every aspect. The poem is here read by Anthony D.P. Mann, a Canadian-based filmmaker and actor with five feature films and a lifetime of stage and radio to his credit. In roles ranging from Count Dracula and the Phantom of the Opera, to Ebenezer Scrooge, his love of the classics is evident in his work. He is delighted to be lending his voice to a series of releases with Cadabra Records, indulging in his first passion – the theater of the imagination. The reading is backed by a score created by Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Maurizio Guarini, most notably known as a core member of Goblin, who has released dozens of albums since the 1970s including soundtracks for cult classics like Suspiria, the European release of Dawn Of The Dead, and much more. Guarini adds a strikingly beautiful yet haunting score that accents the intense reading.

In a statement about the new collaboration, Maurizio Guarini offers, “This was the first time I was involved in something like this, I mean it’s not a movie where you work basically on visuals, it’s not a standalone studio project. Working with the spoken word lets the music play a stronger role, visuals are just on the imagination to the listener, so a different approach was needed.”

I have been involved in art/design/marketing for a very long time. I have an extensive and vast skill set and work ethic that makes me highly qualified for work in this industry. I’ve even ventured into the world of wine for the past couple years. I’ve been involved with music for as long as i can remember. I’m still releasing albums and involving myself with as many musical projects as I can handle (Does anyone hear them? Who knows. I do it because I love it).

My greatest contribution is an easy, fun personality and bringing a smile and laugh to the job. I feel anything can be done by almost anyone if the work place is inviting and supportive of the people who are creating the ‘product’. There is enough stress in the world today without having to dread waking up and spending the whole day in a toxic work environment…just to do it again tomorrow.

If you are in need of my skills and dad jokes, and run a company that values their employees over the bottom line, look me up.

If ego and never being happy with the amount of money you make is your M.O., kindly move along.

The Hearse Song (2022)

CADABR-16 2022

7"

Five years ago, Cadabra Records released its first installment of the Cadabra Records presents Halloween 7-inch series, “The Hearse Song.” Since then, the label has celebrated the holiday with releases of H.P. Lovecraft tales, a pair of folk horror stories by Matthew M. Bartlett, and a college of readings from author Joe Keinberger, but that first love is always the one you'll remember, and such is the case with “The Hearse Song.”

In the case of this release, there's something absolutely, joyously silly about hearing the stentorian, proper tones of Anthony D.P. Mann speak-sing the titular track, because it is simultaneously fun and still a bit scary. If it's possible for Mann to not frighten a listener a little bit, it's because said listener's blood is already turned to ice. When he intones “The worms play pinochle on your snout,” one wonders whether they might not need to check their olfactory appendage, regardless as to whether or not they have recently laughed at a passing hearse or not.

The same goes for the childhood rhyme of “Skin & Bones,” wherein Mann gives the piece an actual bit of singing on the “Oooooh” portions of the poem, but it's spooky, not excited, although it certainly could be said to be excitedly spooky.

The two stories contained on sides A and B – “The Velvet Ribbon” and “The Teeth,” respectively – are not messing around, however, with each one making a pass at their version of a twist ending tale. Whether it's the connubial irritations of the former or the parent and child issues of the latter, family is at the heart of each, and regardless of how familiar you are with certain variations on each tale, these versions will become the platonic ideal for listeners as quickly as they did for us.

The music of the Slasher Film Festival Strategy is rare in Cadabra's catalog, but this marks the first work the group did for the label, and one can see just why their oeuvre is so popular amongst horror-synth cognoscenti. For “The Hearse Song,” they clank and clang with barrelhouse piano and stomped drumming, but on “Skin & Bones,” their sounds move to that of dark bitwave. Yet, neither seems as though it's disparate from the other, with a moody melodicism inherent in both.

The Cask of Amontillado

CADABR-19 2018

7"

"The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of *Godey's Lady's Book*. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

Matthew R. Jaffe

My name is Matthew Jaffe and I am a San Francisco based artist. I work from life and imagination, the former often a stepping stone for the latter. Drawing and painting is my way of communicating with the world; an opportunity to participate and interact with my surroundings.  While I'm able to  find artistic inspiration in most things, I'm drawn especially to subject matter of fantastic nature; not for love of pure escapism, but out of a desire to make the fantastic a part of my reality.

My favorite artists and writers, both past and present, have often favored a subtle approach to their work; an emphasis on feeling and environment rather than explicit visual dictum.  It is this perspective that I want to convey with my own work in hopes that the viewer becomes a participant and not just a spectator.

Currently, I have many exciting projects in the works and I look forward to sharing them as they become a reality.

The Dunwich Horror (2020)

CADABR-65 2020

2 LP

This is an absolute edition, a fully unabridged reading of one of Lovecraft’s most beloved tales of cosmic horror.

The pairing of Andrew Leman’s voice and Chris Bozzone’s music for The Dunwich Horror shows just how much respect and admiration these two have for what is one of the absolute core stories in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu mythos. If ever there were a story which laid out so much in such a succinct fashion, this would be it.

Over the course of four LP sides, the tale of Old Whateley’s strange offspring, Wilbur, is told, and the harrowing story is one of ever-increasing tension and madness. It is therefor appropriate that Bozzone’s main theme for The Dunwich Horror is one of circular alarms, the sound of synthesizer seeming to doppler in and out of the speakers as if hearing a far-off tornado siren. The tones of alert, warning all at a distance that something – or some thing – is out there, wreaking havoc, is only too appropriate to the account related here.

At the times when the tale is relating elements of a mysterious nature, as when the monstrous creature first escapes and become the titular horror, Bozzone uses a classical guitar to create a sense of pastoral dread. The sound is beautiful, but undeniably ominous, the plucking of the strings placidly announcing the terror which is lurking somewhere in the forest and hills just beyond reach.

When interior scenes of learning and knowledge take place, Bozzone’s synths take on an ecclesiastical aura. The sound is akin to one of a small church organ. While there are no scenes which take place in or near a house of worship, knowledge is very much the Whateleys’ religion. It might be a hideous inverse of what one might think of as worship, but the ever-ongoing quest for more enlightenment as to what lies beyond human understanding is very much equivalent in Lovecraft’s telling.

Hearing Leman read from the Necronomicon at length is a hair-raising experience. The reader’s voice is doubled by a static-filled echo, as if coming from somewhere outside this dimension, being relayed by both Leman himself, but also channeling the Great Old Ones, as he recites, “The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen,” from the book written by Abdul Alhazred.

Less terrifying are Leman’s myriad voices for the many personages populating Lovecraft’s saga. The reader finds voices and accents for each, every one of them distinct in accent, age, and affectation. Merely hearing a line or two from one of these individuals means that an image is instantly generated in one’s mind eye, so vividly accurate are they.

In A Grove

CADABR-81 2021

LP

The short story, “In a Grove,” by Japanese writer Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, is most well-known for being the foundation for Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film, *Rashōmon*. Read here by Laurence R. Harvey and scored by Chris Bozzone, the story takes on a unique life of its own, as the plot twists and turns in the different observations of those who are both part of the events which transpired, as well as those who came upon the aftermath and were affected by it.

Both Harvey's reading and Bozzone's score change with each teller of the tale. Be it the clipped tones of a policeman, the mournful woe of an old woman, or the distracted recollections of a woodcutter and Buddhist priest, Harvey's voice work is magnificent, embodying the confusion inherent in the reactions of each, while Bozzone's music frequently reaches a fever pitch, with arpeggiated tones frequently utilized to underscore the fact that the ever-increasing distress of these witnesses, especially that of the old woman. The mother of the Masago, wife of the dead Takehiro, begins distraught, and ends with wordless, wailing cries of grief.

It is, however, the recitation of the recollection of the “famous bandit,” Tajōmaru, which shines brightest. Harvey's at-times growling voice is backed with calm music during the first part of the bandit's story, as if to contrast the brigand's braggadocio with a peaceful spirit, then switching to intense pacing as the bandit becomes more thoughtful and contemplative at the end. Hearing this infamous outlaw go from bristling self-confidence to resigned over the course of his interpretation fills the listener with an equal amount of confusion, leading them to wonder just what went on here.

Flipping the record over brings the saddest tales of all, courtesy of Masago's confession in a Buddhist temple and ending with the story from the dead Takehiro himself, courtesy of a medium. Both Harvey's reading and Bozzone's score move slowly and in an introspective manner, allowing the listener to truly inhabit the conflicting accounts of the wife and her dead husband. While previous accounts had occasionally contradicted one another, hearing these final accounts makes for a disconcerting experience, as they differ so utterly on major points. Bozzone's music emphasizes this, ending with a querulous upswing as Masago weeps, and concluding both Takehiro's tale and the album itself with a fading pair of bass notes which trail off into a swirl of wind.

A Christmas Carol (2018)

CADABR-32 2018

LP

"A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas", commonly known as "A Christmas Carol", is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. *A Christmas Carol* recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

Dickens wrote *A Christmas Carol* during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.

Dagon/The Cats of Ulthar/The Music of Erich Zann (2022)

CADABR-33 2022

LP

In 2019, Cadabra Records released one of their finest productions. Featuring brand new talents at the time in the music of Anima Morte and voice actor Andrew Leman, the collection of H. P. Lovecraft’s *Dagon, The Cats of Ulthar*, and *The Music of Erich Zann*, "brought the spoken arts to a whole new level," as Cadabra label head Jonathan Dennison aptly put it.

In a wonderful bit of synchronicity, these stories also come from Lovecraft's own early years of work, all dating to the first five years of the author's work written as an adult, with the first tale, *Dagon*, having been composed all the way back in 1917. The story as performed here sets the tone for the record as a whole, as narrator Leman's quiet madness reflects the morphine-blunted panic of his revery, while Anima Morte's music feels as though it, too, has come "crawling and floundering" out of the sea.

*The Cats of Ulthar* is a full reverse in tone from that which precedes in almost every way. While *Dagon* is a breathless recitation of eldritch horrors, this second tale is a straightforward story of vengeance against those quite deserving of it. Leman's narration is quite calm, and matter-of-fact in how all of this came to be. Anima Morte's music is wonderfully folk-inspired, resplendent with finger cymbals, acoustic guitar, and bodhrán hand drum. When the terror increases, it's augmented with electric guitar and Mellotron choirs, making for an amazing journey within the nine-minute runtime of this revenge tale, sure to delight all fans of things feline.

*The Music of Erich Zann* takes up the entirety of this collection's second side, as befits a story which combines two elements which Lovecraft would later explore separately in *Pickman's Model* and *The Color of Out of Space*, respectively that of an otherworldly muse or inspiration and an artistic element which has heretofore never existed, nor will be seen again. Of course, given the titular musician's viol, that instrument is featured prominently in Anima Morte's score, which is laden with many "haunting notes." Leman's narration reflects the youth of the teller at the time of the story's events, while also evincing the knowledge and wisdom which come with age.

Cadabra Records Presents M. R. James’ Casting The Runes Full Cast Audio Play Featuring David Warner

The purveyors of top-tier horror and vinyl at spoken arts label, Cadabra Records, present M. R. James’ Casting The Runes, a full cast audio play produced by Bleak December, adapted by Anthony D. P. Mann, and featuring actor David Warner, known for his roles in The Omen, Titanic, Tron, Star Trek, and many more.

The fourth release from Canadian filmmaker and actor Anthony D. P. Mann’s production company in collaboration with Cadabra Records, Casting The Runes follows in the success of an acclaimed adaptation of Dracula, starring Candyman’s Tony Todd, and Sherlock Holmes: The Hellhound, a dark reimagining of The Hound Of The Baskervilles featuring Sir Derek Jacobi. David Warner – one of the cinema’s most recognized faces – joins Bleak December’s next offering, a full-cast and lushly-scored audio adaptation of M. R. James’ terrifying tale of witchcraft and demons, Casting The Runes. Mr. Warner — whose prolific career of over fifty years has included featured roles in The Omen, Titanic, Tron, Star Trek and TV’s Penny Dreadful — portrays the enigmatic Magnus Karswell, whose sinister dabbling in the occult may be at the center of a mysterious death.

Mann, who co-stars in Runes as doomed journalist Edward Dunning, is brimming with enthusiasm at this latest announcement, stating, “I can’t remember a time when David Warner wasn’t a part of my film-watching life, having put his stamp on so many roles in films that have meant a great deal to me. His definitive portrayal of Bob Cratchit in the 1983 version of A Christmas Carol is a master class in acting, and he remains at the top of his game. I am both overjoyed and humbled to have an opportunity to work with one of my favorites.”

David Warner is pleased to be lending his recognizable tones to this audio production, offering, “I was brought up only with radio, so it means so much to me to be able to imagine for myself what is being presented. And we can all imagine differently what is being presented to us via audio and radio, and that’s what the magic of it is – our own imaginations are able to take over. As an actor (and a voice actor, sometimes), I’m so glad to be able to contribute to peoples’ visual take on whatever it is we’re presenting. I just think it’s so invaluable, you know – the images and dreams in the mind.”

From Argentina

"As far as I can remember, I always drew. I guess I started when I was three. Every kid doodles, I think—all kids are artists. Most grow up and move on to other things; I, like every artist, took it to the next level and never stopped, and tried to get better as I grew up, because I enjoyed it tremendously and people seemed to like it and encourage me. Most kids, when asked about what they would like to be when they grow up, say fire-fighter, astronaut, police officer or veterinarian, but I knew perfectly well that I was going to be an artist, come Hell or high water! Comics and cartoons were a great influence, and I copied from comics and from the TV. I still use TV as reference; it's the best "live" model you could get!"
