C.M. Eddy Jr.

**Clifford Martin Eddy Jr.** (January 18, 1896 – November 21, 1967) was an American author known for his horror, mystery and supernatural short stories. He is best remembered for his work in *Weird Tales* magazine and his friendship with H. P. Lovecraft.

Eddy was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on January 18, 1896. He went to Classical High School in Providence, and as a child was a precocious reader and writer. He continued to be an avid reader and writer, interested in mythology and the occult. According to his wife Muriel,

Cliff was always interested in the idea of parallel planes—where life on another level, either astral or otherwise, would be similar to that on earth—or where life might exist, but in another time or another form. He was also fascinated by the themes of teleportation, vampirism, ghosts and the mystery of unexplained phenomena...he spent hours in the library researching the unusual, the unique, the bizarre.

Zakuro Aoyama

Brazil-based Zakuro Aoyama’s highly detailed, imaginatively macabre drawings and paintings are strongly appealing. Reminiscent of Takato Yamamoto’s work, they are fascinatingly intricate, luring the eye in with strange phantasmal layers and concentrities of flesh-like threads. Both ethereal and carnal, the images are wickedly beautiful, conveying a sense of playfulness, of invitation, and of corrupted purity. They seem to take inspiration from old Japanese *kaidan* and from French Symbolism, among other things. Their delicate boldness is refined as well as sensational, permeated with a melancholy eroticism.

The molten, striated textures of the paint are tantalizingly lovely. Aoyama skillfully pairs the spectral with the corporeal. The way in which he combines swirling, hazy, yet full-colored, surreal backgrounds with the precision and meticulous delicateness of his linework. The solid lushness of the color is satisfying and provides body where there is a certain quality of vaporousness and highly-wrought elegance, giving an overall effect that is both elusive and gripping. The encrustations, the enameled and elaborated nature of these visions, are abysmally intriguing.

CADABR-21 2018

In "The Bungalow House," Ligotti toys again with the idea of identity: what separates artists from librarians, both from the "Dalhas" of the world, and finally what separates each individual being from every other being. The author is at the height of a defining nihilism in which he teaches a lesson about the solitary nature of personal obsessions and thereby ultimately resolves his protagonist's philosophical dilemma. "The Bungalow House" is a brilliant and melancholy psychological narrative that explores the depths of an internal monologue while simultaneously telling an engaging story of existential yearning and despair.

Count Magnus

CADABR-91 2022

LP

M. R. James' Count Magnus, as read by Robert Lloyd Parry and scored by Pentagram Home Video and Chris Bozzone, makes for an intriguing listen. Given Parry's quite conversational tone, mixed with the paired musicians' score, it's as though one is hearing this well-documented chronicle related while seated at the bar of some fascinating club. It's a late-night tale, told with the enthusiasm of a knowledgeable man who's been waiting ages for someone to whom he can relate all of this weirdness.

As Parry comes from a journalistic background and has covered many a fascinating story in his career, it should come as no surprise that he reads with a great deal of skill. For those who have read his 2011 book, *People Who Eat Darkness: The Fate of Lucie Blackman*, it's a bit of specific and special joy that Parry is once again telling the dark and terrifying story of a journey gone awry.

That said, Parry is not just content to tell the story, however. The reporter's skill for creating voices for James' varied characters allows him to convey both Mr. Wraxall's "man past middle age, possessed of some private means, and very much alone in the world," but also that of the landlord of the inn where Wraxall stays, Herr Nielsen, and even that of his grandfather of 92 years prior to the story being told. It's a talented piece of reading, and the journalistic nature of Wraxall's writing is given the gravitas required, while also knowingly nodding to the man-of-leisure aspect to the travel writing of a travel book.

Given the myriad timeframes in which Count Magnus takes place, it is of utmost importance that the musical pairing of Bozzone and Pentagram Home Video delineate the eras into which the listener is taken. By means of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, the pairing places the listener in a very specific locale with each musical milieu. Flute scores a trip back to the story of Herr Nielsen's grandfather, and synthesizer presages it, making the temporal switch clear.

Joe Keinberger

"My Work is largely influenced by mythology, folklore, classic horror films and an appreciation for the dark and macabre that can only be instilled by growing up through many a New England autumn. I tend to use a variety of media in my pieces, and techniques, so that the finished pieces are a mixture of drawing and painting as well as explorations of textural surface involving sanding, scratching and carving. I present these ghosts, demons and devils as they are, as complicated beings with secrets to hide and protect, and histories forged in chains that bind them to the melancholy of the mortal world."

“Since childhood I have always been regarded as someone who is interested in “weird things,” and I still get asked why my work and

interests are “so dark.” – These wooden panels become tablets that bear the images of things that exist beyond the everyday world.

This “darkness” lights my world and offers insight and comfort in the face of an unkind world. To peek behind the veil and to meet fellow

travelers who also play in the darkness, who find joy, humor and comfort in my work, or create inspiring work of their own, is something to cherish.”

Born in New York in 1974, Joe Keinberger moved to Massachusetts where he grew up in the one and a half horse town of Hingham, before moving to Boston to attend Massachusetts College of Art and Design. He now lives in Somerville where he paints and illustrates out of his hidden studio deep below the earth's crust. Major influences include Ralph Steadman, Egon Schiele, and Melinda Beck among others. Keinberger works primarily in ink and acrylic, doing loose ink drawings on top of built-up texture of acrylic and assorted dry media.

The Dunwich Horror (2022)

CADABR-65 2022

3 LP

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 Cthulhu 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.

The Colour Out of Space

CADABR-48 2019

2 LP

From Joshi’s essay:

“The Colour out of Space” is one of Lovecraft’s greatest ventures into cosmicism—the depiction of the spectacular gulfs of space and time and the consequent insignificance of human life and history—and is perhaps exceeded in this regard only by At the Mountains of Madness. It is one of his great stories of regional horror at the same time that it is his first and perhaps greatest tale of pure science fiction. There has long been confusion as to whether Lovecraft submitted the story first to Weird Tales, and only sent it to Amazing Stories after it was rejected by Weird Tales. But we now have definitive evidence that Lovecraft submitted the story first to Amazing. After sending it on the rounds of his various colleagues, he wrote to Clark Ashton Smith (June 24, 1927): “Hurrah! ‘The Colour out of Space’ has just been accepted by ‘Amazing Stories’!” In a follow-up letter (July 15, 1927), he writes to Smith: “As for ‘The Colour out of Space’—[Donald] Wandrei tells me that Amazing Stories doesn’t pay well, so that I’m sorry I didn’t try Weird Tales first.” Lovecraft was all too correct about the magazine’s rate of payment: the editor, Hugo Gernsback, paid him a mere $25.00 for it, and then only after Lovecraft had sent him three dunning letters; this paltry remuneration essentially closed off that market to Lovecraft, and he never submitted anything to Amazing again. But he always considered “The Colour out of Space” his most successful experiment at depicting the boundless “outside.”

The Black Cat

CADABR-26 2018

LP & 2LP

"The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of *The Saturday Evening Post*. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.

Fabio Frizzi was originally set to score Lucio Fulci’s The Black Cat in 1981 which never happened; Cadabra Records edition also serves as a nod to Lucio Fulci.

   Frizzi states, “It’s been a while. The Black Cat is back. And with enthusiasm, the magical flow of creativity is again with me!”

Maurizio Guarini

**Maurizio Guarini** is a self-taught keyboardist, multi-instrumentalist and composer, best known as a member of the progressive rock band Goblin.

Born in Rome, Italy in 1955, Guarini started playing organ and guitar at the age of 10. He started playing live at high school concerts with some rock bands. Later, his music exploration moved on to progressive / jazz-rock. After graduating from high school in 1973, he attended the Math faculty at the University La Sapienza in Rome.

In spring 1975 Massimo Morante from Goblin invited Guarini to join the band, just after Deep Red was released. Starting with the very first concert in September 1975, Goblin, that reached top of the charts at that time, kept touring Italy until the end of 1976.

In March 1976 Goblin released the album *Roller*.

Just after three days of recording of the score for the movie Suspiria, on November 23, 1976, Guarini temporarily left the band. Late in 1978, after two years of studio work mainly in studio at RCA Records in Rome, Guarini re-joined Goblin, with a different line-up. Production of the band in the following years includes scores for the movies *Patrick* (1978), *Buio Omega* (1979), *Contamination* (1980), *St.Helene's* (1981), *Notturno* (1983) and the non-movie related album *Volo]' (1982).*

In parallel, during this years, Guarini collaborated with other musicians, mainly with the Italian composer Fabio Frizzi, and performed as session musician in several scores, mostly for movies directed by Italian director Lucio Fulci: **The Beyond**, **City of Living Dead**, **Zombi 2** and others. Still about film scoring, in 1984 Maurizio started a cooperation with the Italian Composer Pino Donaggio, with whom he collaborated on 25 soundtracks.

Guarini released his first solo album, *Creatures from a Drawer*, on January 2013

The Return of the Sorcerer (Nightlands edition)

CADABR-24 2023

LP

"“The Return of the Sorcerer” was written in early 1931, and went through several revisions and title changes, such as “A Rendering from the Arabic” and “The Return of Helman Carnby.” After being rejected by both *Ghost Stories* and *Weird Tales*, the story was finally published in the September 1931 issue of Strange Tales. It was Lovecraft’s suggestion that both the murderer and the victim be practitioners in the Black Arts, an idea which Smith quickly incorporated and subsequently introduced the text from the Necronomicon (Lovecraft’s notorious book of forbidden demonic lore written by the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred) into the tale, this firmly established it as a contribution to the emerging Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraft also pointed out that the ending might be more effective if the grisly dismemberment was somehow more veiled and hidden from actual sight; leading Smith to change the original ending that had Ogden actually witnessing the event into the final version, which has him only hearing the struggles and terrible screams of John Carnby before observing the shadow of the headless sorcerer and finally its awful disintegration into its various portions.

Smith thought so highly of this story that he included it in his very first hardcover anthology *Out of Space and Time*, which was the third book produced by the legendary Arkham House publishers in 1942. Apparently Rod Serling agreed, as he utilized this story in his classic Night Gallery series in 1972. Employing the talents of Vincent Price as the sorcerer, Bill Bixby as the hired translator, and introducing to the plot a beautiful assistant played by Tisha Sterling, whose alluring presence keeps Bixby from a nearly immediate departure from this bizarre house of horrors. This somewhat loosely adapted rendition features a black goat (supposedly an incarnation of Carnby’s father) eating at the dinner table, as well as some toad smooching by sexy assistant Fern. Nevertheless, this episode is still quite a fun show to watch, if only for the classic over-acting and mugging by Vincent Price. It is said that the royalties paid to the estate for the television rights to “The Return of the Sorcerer” was worth more than Clark Ashton Smith himself earned during his entire literary career."

Call Me Corey

CADABR-56 2019

LP

Those who make it through Call Me Corey will find themselves irrevocably changed by the respective words and music of Matthew M. Bartlett and Black Mountain Transmitter. Call Me Corey, the follow-up to Massachusetts author Bartlett and Belfast musician Black Mountain Transmitter’s 2018 Cadabra Records release, Mr. White Noise, continues the pairing’s duet of lysergic verse and dark, ambient electronic music. To listen to the pair’s work together is akin to opening your mind to a kind of cosmic terror of which you’re simultaneously afraid, but too fascinated by to turn away your hearing.

In these eight short pieces, Bartlett reads his work, while Black Mountain Transmitter creates the score behind them. Thematically linked as a series of short meditations on the way in which experiences can go horribly askew when examined closely, the plot of each is linear, but with a sense as if William S. Burroughs had applied his cut-up technique to the works of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. The sense of things is all wrong, as if you’ve begun listening to another dimension’s bedtime stories, read by an exceedingly-calm, mellifluously-voiced man who is completely, utterly mad.

Each story’s music is perfectly-suited to the piece which it accompanies. The music of “The Hot Blade” is just as wet and sticky as the story itself, while “Night Eyes” has music for the beach, just as ably suited to imagery of swooping sea gulls and surfers as the man with two eyes in each socket – “green eyes, pushed up against one another” – who tears off his own jaw before walking into the sea.

The musical introduction for “The Leeds School” has a music box quality not unlike Charles Bernstein’s theme to A Nightmare on Elm Street, but before too long, the music and the reading begin blending together, and by the end, they have become one, Bartlett’s voice joining with the wordless choir to become the nightmarish sounds of the story’s meddled-with radio.

The album ends with Bartlett’s titular story scored with unceasing menace. It’s as if the author and Black Mountain Transmitter’s work is in lockstep, crafting nearly 14 minutes of ever-increasing tension and fright. Again, the score does more than create just atmosphere, but responds to the story. When the words, “Something was feeding in there – or many things,” are spoken by Bartlett, Black Mountain Transmitter’s music dissolves into the sound of thousands of skittering legs and chattering mouth parts. The end result evokes a shudder which works its way from the shoulders all the way to the base of your spine, twisting your body in what might be deeply-felt terror – or possibly, joy.

Grady Gordon

Grady Gordon is originally from Santa Fe, NM. His art is deeply influenced by various mythologies from across the world. in each new series he finds a particular myth to reimagine into a new version, and of course creates the images solely in black and white. Grady utilizes the most crude mark-making instruments to bring about the characters that inhabit the invisible plane. He works entirely by removing thick black ink from a plexiglass surface. The monotype print is a study of impermanence. Unlike other forms of printmaking the monotype offers only one copy. The original image on the plate is then given back to the ether, back into the fabric.

C0-founder of the *NEOTROGLOCISM* movement- sophisticated mark-making, crude objectivity.

Ligeia

Ligeia (Themes From Hell 1)
Skinner

I had no idea what being a full time professional artist would hold for me when I quit my job in the middle of the economic meltdown of 2008. I knew that if I could survive through that, I’d be able to survive what it took to be an artist at anytime, so it felt like a good test to take.

Illustration, painting, expansive installations, sculptures and gallery shows around the world soon followed, as my anxiety ridden stubbornness kicked in to high gear. Commercial work for Warner Bros, Adult Swim, Vans, Apple, Quentin Tarantino, Fender guitars, and Juxtapoz built a client list to balance out the psychedelic, graphic experimentations I became known for. I use every opportunity to expand into new medias as a chance to cultivate the unknown parts of myself and to collaborate with others who are searching as well.

Thankfully my professional relationships (which are usually born out of personal friendships) led to opportunities in writing and directing music videos, live animation projections and IP commercials for Adult swim and Fender guitars. Writing scripts, acting and production naturally followed. Film making and animation has brought me into collaboration and connectivity with people that has enriched my life in ways that being an isolated painter never could. The satisfaction of working with others and getting to appreciate their gifts as we create, is infinitely more inspiring than working alone. Filmmaking and narration is an organic outcome of my search to grow the territory of my creative self.

The Return of the Sorcerer
Jonathan Dennison

Creator of Cadabra Records!

"I guess I’ve always been drawn to the things that scare us, it’s too much fun. The drive-in and a Saturday afternoon show in the west coast called Creature Feature really helped shape my childhood.  By middle school I discovered Lovecraft and Poe, but really dug into horror fiction in my high school years. Years back I started collecting spoken word vinyl from the horror genre and quickly realized there wasn’t really much out there, this is where Cadabra Records began."

LP

"The Hound" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft in September 1922 and published in the February 1924 issue of *Weird Tales*. It contains the first mention of Lovecraft's fictional text the *Necronomicon.*

The story focuses around the narrator and his friend, St. John, who have a deranged interest in robbing graves. They constantly defile crypts and often keep souvenirs of their nocturnal expeditions. Since they reside in the same house, they have the opportunity to set up a sort of morbid museum in their basement. Using the objects collected from the various graves they have robbed, the two men organize a private exhibition. The collection consists of headstones, preserved bodies, skulls, and several heads in different phases of decomposition. It also included statues, frightful paintings, and a locked portfolio bound in tanned human-skin.

"The Music of Erich Zann" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in December 1921, it was first published in *National Amateur*, March 1922.

   The story is an account of the enigmatic Erich Zann, an elderly musician whose unique and unworldly melodies draw the curiosity of a young university student.

The Boarded Window

CADABR-69 2020

7"

First published in The San Francisco Examiner over a century and a quarter ago, Ambrose Bierce's short story, “The Boarded Window,” finds new life and new terror when read by Anthony D. P. Mann and scored by Chris Bozzone on this 7-inch vinyl record. The tale cannot properly be called a frame tale, given that it never quite returns to the original storyteller, but Bierce's shifting use of perspective in the story's opening minutes leaves the listener on the same uneasy footing as the protagonist, Murlock.

By the time we're listening to the tale proper, the storyteller – voiced with impeccable aplomb by Mann – has told of Murlock's ultimate fate, the fate of his cabin years later, and how the narrator came to know all that will soon be spoken. Yet, behind it all is a pleasant, circular melody by Bozzone, reflecting the sunny possibilities of a young couple's new cabin and freshly-cleared plot of land.

However, once Bozzone ends the preface, and intones, “I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the secret of that window. But I am one, as you shall see.,” the music shifts, declining in tone, and slowing – darkening, really. As we learn that “One day Murlock was found in his cabin, dead,” the piano disappears entirely, and is replaced by naught but the drone of a synthesizer.

When Murlock fears for his life in the dark of night, after having prepared his departed wife for burial and fallen asleep at the table the sounds are defiantly organic and close, as though we're hearing the sound of Murlock's final moments, clattering and breaking apart cessation of functions. It's in stark contrast to when Murlock's bride is taken by fever, which has a clarion echo, almost fully synthetic and distant.

Nathan Reidt

Self taught artist with a background in film visual effects. Currently living in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

He has been on a lifelong creative journey which has seen him working as a CG artist within both the gaming and film industries and more recently retracing his steps in order to rekindle the passion for creating his own personal fine art, which he has devoted himself to full time for the last five years.

"I began drawing when I was about 5 years old and haven’t stopped since, so I guess my childhood and upbringing was the start of my relationship with the arts.

I remember being very young and my older sister had a boyfriend over and probably more to impress her he sat down and drew me a picture of a Lamborghini Countach. That moment totally blew my mind. That was all it took, I became obsessed with Lamborghinis and drawing right there. I have had a sketchbook on me ever since. It was early and immediate and I knew right away that that was what I wanted to do for a living."

A Christmas Carol (2019 RP)

CADABR-32 2019 Repress

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.

Edgar Allan Poe

**Edgar Allan Poe** (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is also generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. Poe was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

Poe was born in Boston, the second child of actors David and Elizabeth "Eliza" Poe. His father abandoned the family in 1810, and his mother died the following year. Thus orphaned, Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan of Richmond, Virginia. They never formally adopted him, but he was with them well into young adulthood. Tension developed later as Poe and John Allan repeatedly clashed over Poe's debts, including those incurred by gambling, and the cost of Poe's education. Poe attended the University of Virginia but left after a year due to lack of money. He quarreled with Allan over the funds for his education and enlisted in the United States Army in 1827 under an assumed name. It was at this time that his publishing career began with the anonymous collection *Tamerlane and Other Poems* (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian". Poe and Allan reached a temporary rapprochement after the death of Allan's wife in 1829. Poe later failed as an officer cadet at West Point, declaring a firm wish to be a poet and writer, and he ultimately parted ways with Allan.

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move among several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. He married his 13-year-old cousin, Virginia Clemm, in 1836, but Virginia died of tuberculosis in 1847. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. He planned for years to produce his own journal *The Penn* (later renamed *The Stylus*), but before it could be produced, he died in Baltimore on October 7, 1849, at age 40. The cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to disease, alcoholism, substance abuse, suicide, and other causes.

Jeremy Hush

Jeremy Hush is an American artist based in Philadelphia, PA. His imagery focuses on the link between humanity and nature with a particular attention to the psychological aspects of this interaction. While working in a seemingly traditional way, Hush is known for experimenting with a wide variety of unconventional mediums and techniques.

"Drawing has always been a constant, for me, indeed all my years of academic schooling consisted of hours of full time drawing. It was never my intention to become an artist, though: it was merely something I used to do when I tried to stay put for one or two of hours. I’ve always been very outdoorsy and active: I don’t like sitting in a chair, and that’s how I started drawing on everything! I would burn through notebooks and sketchbooks! As I grew older I found outlets and uses for my drawing skills. Even up through high school I never thought I would be an “artist”. Growing up in the mountains of Tennessee it never crossed my mind that it could become a profession: I just never really pushed my imagination that far ahead."
