Macabria (7")

CADABR-82 2021

7"

Thanks to author Joe Keinberger's reading of the selections contained within Macabria, listeners to this new 7-inch will feel as though the writer is sitting beside them, while composer Chris Bozzone takes up residence just a little ways away to create nerve-jangling sounds to increase their sense of fright.

"The King October" is a poem paying homage to the end of harvest and beginning of decay, while also a paean to the Halloween season. Solid bell-like tones ring sonorously behind Keinberger's echoing voice while a piano has its keys pushed with savage intensity. This piece sets the tone for the entirety of the collection, wherein the author's voice and words are paired with sounds more akin to musique concrete than a traditional score.

Within "Coven," the author has his voice reverberate, as though it's shaking the very Gates to Hell mentioned in its opening lines. The bells in this piece chime first in one ear, and then the other, back and forth throughout this tale of dead souls, as a church organ pierces the darkness, "swirling and glimmering" as the ghosts themselves do.

"The Town Without Spring," "A Witch's Curse," and "Year's End" are as one, as though the curse of the latter is what afflicts the town in the middle, where "nightmare screams pierced the October darkness," and the fiends taking flight at the end, awaiting Samhain coming once again.

A ringing handbell peals repeatedly in the far distance as Keinberger's recitation of what befell this now-cursed place, where "the dead walk the earth." As the final poem begins, the darkly ethereal, slightly decayed synthesizer is paired once again with a piano, but this time, its tones are gentle, as though welcoming the incoming new year.

The Masque of the Red Death/Berenice

CADABR-35 2019

LP

As an homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s masterful prose, Cadabra have enlisted renowned composer Maurizio Guarini (Goblin) to score these two macabre tales. “The Masque of the Red Death” provides fertile ground for Guarini’s strings; the violins giving chase to the narrator’s words as they float down Prince Prospero’s many coloured chambers. There are several motifs present that alter the mood, whether it be an uplifting flute in the purple chamber or a menacing timpani and ticking clock in the black. Later, as Anthony D. P. Mann’s voice takes on a darker tone, the score becomes much more immediate, leaning heavily on the organ and cello to masterful effect. You’ll want to spin this one a few times to take in the haunting cleverness of Guarini’s work.

“Berenice” is one of Poe’s lesser known works but in no way inferior to his more famous stories. Here, Guarini leans on the piano and flute to help underscore the loneliness and inner turmoil of our complex narrator Egaeus. The addition of dark percussion and synth parallel Egaeus’ own mental degradation, and with a pitch shifting piano draped by reverb laden guiro we begin our own descent into his madness. Poe’s story (expertly read by Anthony D. P. Mann) will take you into the darkest corners of one man’s compulsive obsession, leaving you shaken but wanting more.

Sam Heimer

Sam Heimer is an illustrator and toy maker working out of Philadelphia, PA. His incredible and detailed work is focused on weird fiction, horror, and ghoulish entities that walk among us in a world where every night is Halloween. Sam has had artwork published in *Weird Tales* (originally responsible for publishing a great deal of H.P. Lovecraft's work), has designed album covers and beer labels, helps curate *The Order Of The Thinned Veil* (a tiered Halloween-themed subscription service) and even makes spooky toys.

"I’m a freelance illustrator and toy maker working out of Philadelphia, PA. I don’t really have a specific market I work in, but my art tends to lean toward Halloween, Horror and the Macabre. I work in pen and ink with occasional digital color. Current clients include Cadabra Records, Abomination Brewing and other various breweries and distilleries, and a smattering of Halloween merchandisers, just to rattle off a few. I also run a micro toy company, HH Toy and Novelty. We do several releases a year in both resin and PVC, and the toys tend to stick to Horror and Folklore themes."

"I was a doodler all through school. When it was clear I’d never be captain of the football team, my parents started signing me up for Saturday art classes and pre-college art classes. My brother, three years my senior and also a freelance illustrator went to college for illustration, and I followed, graduating with a BFA that serves me about as well as a waiter with no appendages. Inspiration… I really couldn’t tell you. I really saw no other option. I didn’t think I could be happy going to a traditional college and having a 9 to 5 in a non-creative field. I was getting freelance work right out of college, but it took several years to brush off the shackles of an hourly job and go full freelance illustrator. It took all the longer because I’ve been very stubborn about what I create. If I pushed my work lighter, less detail driven, made it more approachable, I probably would have been doing this full-time much sooner, but I would have been less happy with my work."

"The Signal-Man" is a first-person horror/mystery story by Charles Dickens, first published as part of the *Mugby Junction* collection in the 1866 Christmas edition of *All the Year Round*.

The railway signal-man of the title tells the narrator of an apparition that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works. The signalman's work is at a signal-box in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the railway line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him by telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear. Each warning is followed by the appearance of the spectre, and then by a terrible accident.

The Death of Halpin Frayser

CADABR-87 2022

LP

As read by Cadabra stalwart Anthony D.P. Mann and scored by Chris Bozzone, Ambrose Bierce's ghost story, *The Death of Halpin Frayser*, readily evokes the title of the collection in which it can be found. 1893's *Can Such Things Be?* brings to mind the possibility of the improbable, and so does the nested tales within the story itself.

It is with a sense of horrified awe that Mann reads the reactions of a man who sees images such as trees where "blood dripped like dew from their foliage," accurately conveying everything experienced "as one who has murdered in the dark, not knowing whom nor why." This is to say, Mann's conveyance of the titular Halpin Frayser's terrifying adventure is nothing short of an ever-increasing experience of mortal fear. It's unclear as to whether this is a dream or the discovery of another plain of existence, with just enough of a nod to the emotions evoked by Bierce in An Inhabitant of Carcosa to make one's skin erupt in goosebumps. While not explicitly referencing that story, the general atmosphere of otherworldly horror is undeniable.

Composer and musician Bozzone once again makes full use of his talents in scoring Bierce's frightening story. With his alternate application of sounds both electronic and acoustic, the events transpiring in the haunted wood in the hills west of the Napa Valley are awash in Mellotron-like breaths of synthesized sounds, and the story of Frayser's life prior to the occurrence in the woods replete with acoustic guitar and piano. The two musical styles are mixed as the final installment of *The Death of Halpin Frayser* unfurls, wherein the listener discovers just how all of this came to be.

Help Is Not Coming

CADABR-73 2021

LP

For the followup to 2019's *Kwaidan*, Alone in the Woods – the New York-based duo of Jon Dobyns and Lonn Bologna continue on with their globe-spanning sound. Whereas on their last album, the pair drew from the stories of Yakumo Koizumi, with *Help Is Not Coming*, they pay homage to the cannibal genre. Much as director Ruggerio Deodato chose to soundtrack his 1980 film, *Cannibal Holocaust*, with the beautiful sounds of composer Riz Ortolani, so goes Alone in the Woods.

*Help Is Not Coming* is not here to generate terror, but instead, opts to create an atmospheric environment wherein the listener can feel the jungle slowly closing in around them. At its very outset, the musicians mix in the sounds of birds and rushing water, crafting an environment which feels as much a part of the album as the music of Alone in the Woods themselves.

Utilizing flutes, drums, and other instruments which could readily be crafted from the flora and fauna of the deep jungle, the core of Dobyns and Bologna's music on this album feels as though it speaks to something primal. Augmenting the acoustic sounds with electronic aspects results in Help Is Not Coming becoming a cinematic trek off the beaten path to an unknown world.

With each successive track on the album, Alone in the Woods' music becomes more claustrophobic, as if with each beat of the music, a stalking force within the jungle is waiting to pounce. It's a steady progression, as one piece takes its lead from those which precede it.The off-kilter doppler effect which increases throughout the end of “Jungle Ceremonies” leads into the hypnotic rhythms of “Plants Casting Spells,” leading to a lengthy trek along the “Deep River.”

The fact that the title of the last song on the first side references Umberto Lenzi's 1972 *Man from Deep River,* often regarded as the film which kicked off the Italian cannibal film craze, demonstrates how well-verse Alone in the Woods are in the lore of the genre and, flipping the record over, the pair lean hard into fashioning a veritable fear factory for the second half of *Help Is Not Coming*.

Alan Brown/Medusawolf

Alan Brown is an illustrator living in Philadelphia, PA. He graduated from Delaware College of Art and Design in 2004.

Alan (aka ‘Medusawolf’) uses watercolour and gouache for his paintings. He also makes comics, toys, masks and lots of other fun things.

Brown’s first comic, Ovoyyamar, began in September, 2012 and is an ongoing fantasy adventure series following the trials and troubles of several bizarre races of beings embroiled in a cycle of revenge, violence and chaos. His next ongoing series Azzuldekkon debuted at the 2015 Small Press Expo. In late 2016 he illustrated the cover for Grammy nominated heavy metal band Mastodon’s album ‘Emperor of Sand’. He's currently working on the upcoming comics series release ‘Dark Mountain’ for Floating World Comics.

Together with his partner, Kati Driscoll, Alan also contributes to Twamies (pronounced tway-meez), a collaboarive illustration shop.

Brown’s work has been featured in print in CMYK magazine and online at Great Big Iceberg, Juxtapoz, the Huffington Post, Beautiful Decay, Design Sponge, Design Lovefest, Buy Some Damn Art, and many more.

*“I never approach a painting with the intent to express any specific thing. There are these things that don’t exist anywhere in the universe except in my mind and I want to see them more clearly – and along the way I make choices that, inevitably, express something of myself. In art, I like the idea that anyone can look at a painting and it can mean something completely different from anyone else’s view, yet it is always the right interpretation. It belongs to that individual’s experience of the world. Whether it be that you simply like it visually or are touched by it in some quiet or loud way.”*

The Human Chair

CADABR-20 2018

LP

"Rampo’s 1925 short story that begins with an aristocratic female novelist receiving a letter from a low-born craftsman who is a fan of her work, and goes on to explore the latter’s obsession with “unnatural pleasure” found via surreptitious closeness to strangers’ bodies from within a hollowed-out chair of his own making. Told almost entirely in epistolary form, “The Human Chair” is the perfect encapsulation of everything that is great about Rampo’s literary works: the invasion of polite and mainstream society by elements of disorder, “deviant” sexual pleasure, abnormal and obsessive criminal behavior, and the implication of the protagonist — and through them, the reader — in the erotic or grotesque development of the story until its gooseflesh-raising conclusion. Written nearly 100 years ago, its unique and brilliant distillation of the basic elements of the human condition to their lowest, yet most truthful forms, is more than relevant today." -Marc Walkow

The White People

CADABR-102 2023

2 LP

Second only to his own *The Great God Pan* in terms of folk horror brilliance, Arthur Machen's The White People is a novella whose scope encompasses another hidden world just outside our own. Not for nothing is the "the curious and dimly disquieting chronicle" H.P. Lovecraft's second favorite piece of weird fiction after Algernon Blackwood's *The Willows*. In Lovecraft’s seminal essay, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," he ably sums up *The White People* as "a triumph of skilful selectiveness and restraint, accumulates enormous power as it flows on in a stream of innocent childish prattle."

Read here by Laurence R. Harvey and scored by Chris Bozzone, Machen's nesting tale is given a masterful interpretation. The opening frame tale sees Harvey flitting between three voices with nary a pause before the novella moves into into "The Green Book," wherein Harvey effortlessly transitions from three old men sitting and drinking while pontificating upon the true nature of sin to a young girl's naiveté as she explores a hidden world.

It's a masterful performance which is made all the more impressive because then, within "The Green Book," Harvey then tells further stories in the voice of the young girl, retelling tales heard from her nurse. It's a delicate balancing act which requires a nimble voice and skillful interpretive skills, and it should come to no surprise of longtime fans of Cadabra that Harvey is more than up to the task. At no point is the hypnotic, twisting nature of The White People broken, unless it is to be thrust back into reality in order to change sides on the record.

Harvey's reading is scored by Chris Bozzone, who once again has paired the electronic with the acoustic to pull the listener back in time. At points, it's as though the composer and musician has gone full folk, using instruments such as one would have heard in a bygone age, evoking a sense of discovery in the long ago, while the here and now – such as it is in a story which folds in upon itself myriad times – is brought to life with warm, pulsing synthesizers. The swim and oscillation of the score, regardless of instrumentation used, lulls the listener into the world of The White People as if in a daze.

The Lurking Fear

CADABR-05 2016

LP

Marking the first time in history that The Lurking Fear has been read for vinyl, the upcoming release features a dynamic reading by professional actor Andrew Leman, a co-founder of the H. P. LOVECRAFT Historical Society, who delivers the terror, dread, suspense and madness that permeates LOVECRAFT’s writing with by-the-throat conviction. Dark ambient/industrial outfit, Theologian, backs up Leman’s conveyance of the awesome story, supplying an appropriately macabre and unsettling score.

A segment of the liner notes by S. T. Joshi offers, “Reading LOVECRAFT can on occasion be a guilty pleasure. When we encounter a sentence like this from The Outsider – “It was a compound of all that is unclean, uncanny, unwelcome, abnormal, and detestable”- we are inclined to smile as well as to admire the verbal pyrotechnics that can create such a cascade of evocative adjectives. Especially in his earlier years, LOVECRAFT enjoyed experimenting with this kind of over-the-top horror, and the results are some of his most entertaining stories.

The Lurking Fear is one of these. Written in November 1922, it was the second of LOVECRAFT’s professionally published stories.Weird Tales, which was the haven for most of his later tales, would not be founded until March 1923; and LOVECRAFT – who was not even sure he wanted to be a “professional” writer, if that meant churning out hackwork according to market specifications – wrote The Lurking Fear in response to the pleas of a friend, George Julian Houtain, who wanted just such a blood-andthunder narrative. Houtain had begun a semi-pro magazine (which LOVECRAFT

later called a “vile rag”) entitled Home Brew, subtitled “America’s Zippiest Pocket Magazine.” Most people don’t know that Home Brew was a humor magazine, full

of articles, sketches, limericks, and other matter poles apart from LOVECRAFT’s usual brand of supernatural horror.”

"The Beyond" Live Composer's Cut Tour

Fabio Frizzi performs his live score to Lucio Fulci's cult horror film "The Beyond" in its special composer cut of the film.

Fabio Frizzi is returning to North America to perform the legendary score for “The Beyond.” The film is a psychedelic, supernatural nightmare directed by the granddaddy of Italian splatter Lucio Fulci. The second film in Fulci’s "Gates of Hell" trilogy sandwiched between City of the Living Dead (1980) and The House by the Cemetery (1981), “The Beyond’s” loose narrative revolves around a Louisiana hotel which may in fact be one of the seven gates to hell.

The movie is beloved by horror fans for its surrealistic imagery and gore-tastic set pieces. Additionally, a composer’s cut of the score is being re-released in conjunction with the tour via Cadabra Records.

Fabio will play a second set entitled “FRIZZI 2 FULCI.” This is a breathtakingly amazing experience that sees famous scenes from Fulci’s film alongside Fabio’s scores.

It’s impossible to think of Fulci’s unique films without mentioning Frizzi’s music. The two names are synonymous with one another. Collaborating first on 1975’s The Four of the Apocalypse, Frizzi would go on to score numerous Fulci classics including Zombi 2 (1979), City of the Living Dead, and Manhattan Baby (1982). “The Beyond” however may just be the duo’s crowning achievement.

“The Beyond” has consistently been ranked as one of the greatest horror scores of all time, including by Rolling Stone in 2016. That same year, for the film’s 35th anniversary, Frizzi unearthed 52 unused pieces of music originally composed for the film in order to construct the Composer’s Cut and take it on the road to play it live-to-film in a series of screenings.

The Beyond Composer's Cut: Alternative Mix sets were sold at these events as well as other releases.

Shawn M. Garrett

Thanks to a youth spent in the company of Richard Matheson, Vincent Price, Carl Kolchak & Jupiter Jones, he has pursued a life-long interest in the thrilling, the horrific and the mysterious – be it in print, film, art or audio. He has worked as a sewerage groundskeeper, audio transcription editor, pornography enabler, insurance letter writer – he was once paid by Marvel Comics to pastiche the voice of Stan Lee in promotional materials and he spends his days converting old pulp fiction into digital form for minimal pay. He now lives near the ocean in a small metal box and he hopes that becoming a Yuggothian brain-in-a-jar is a viable future, as there is NO WAY he will ever read all the books he has on his lists, or listen to all the music he wants to hear. Everything that he is he owes to his late sister Susan, a shining star in the pre-internet world of fan-fiction, who left this world unexpectedly in 2010. Shawn was brought on as an Associate Editor in 2008, and he became Editor in 2011.

The Terrible Old Man (2023)

CADABR-103 2023

7"

"The Terrible Old Man" is a short story of fewer than 1200 words by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written on January 28, 1920, and first published in the *Tryout*, an amateur press publication, in July 1921. It is notable as the first story to make use of Lovecraft's imaginary New England setting, introducing the fictional town of Kingsport. The story is about the fate of three would-be robbers of the titular old man's house.

CADABR-62 2020

LP

   For a story set in the world of the circus and its denizens, Chris Bozzone’s score for Lawrence R. Harvey’s reading of Tod Robbins’ 1923 macabre tale, Spurs, eschews all the trappings one would expect from those environs. The calliope does not peal out, nor does the swinging jazz of the era kick ups its heels.

Instead, composer Bozzone opts for sounds which echo the tonal shifts in Robbins’ tale. At the outset, the music is that of a pipe organ, reflecting the opening line, “Jacques Courbé was a romanticist.” Its reverential tones are precisely those of the vest-pocket protagonist in his admiration of bareback rider Jeanne Marie from the moment he first lays eyes upon her.

The music shifts to that of a dreamy, exotic marimba off and throughout Harvey’s reading of Spurs, and becomes the dominant musical form. Accented with electric organ, it’s as if the sacred and the profane are intertwined. Courbé and Jeanne Marie’s interactions are defined by this motif, with the hopelessly enamored dwarf nearly blind to the barely-contained derision of the robust mademoiselle, who views him as but a “splinter of a fellow.”

When Courbé’s anger flares, the music becomes a sinister synthesizer line, with chords musically reproducing the baleful thoughts percolating within the Lilliputian’s mind. The use of violins in a minor chord similarly evokes the scheming of Simon Lafleur, “the Romeo of the circus tent,” as he plots with Jeanne Marie to take Courbé for everything he has.

Impressively, however, these disparate tones slide from one to another, and suggest a sort of degenerate fairytale, wherein lust is readily acknowledged and even the supposed hero, “ill-tempered and egotistical.” The sole use of calliope comes during the wedding dinner, and even then, it’s inverted, and rather than the boisterous “Entry of the Gladiators,” it’s a maddeningly woozy variation of a nuptial march.

Cadabra Records first non-fiction release and the first audio biography on one of the most influential authors of all time, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The content of the record is based around Lovecraft’s life during the writing of his most notable stories. We have modeled this production to be a timeless record to be enjoyed through the ages.

S. T. Joshi is a leading scholar on Lovecraft and the author of a comprehensive biography, I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft (2010). In this audio documentary, Joshi relates the essential events of Lovecraft’s life and also examines the core elements of his best fiction and poetry. His account makes it clear why Lovecraft and his work continue to fascinate millions of readers nearly a century after his early demise.
