Imaginary disc
Jukebox content
I had a whole load of words compiled and ready to go on the subjects / contexts of the wax cylinders loaded into HP Lovecraft's jukebox. It's very good writing, chock full of keen observations, connections and insights, not a word wasted.
Then I started reading Paul Morley's A Sound Mind (2020) and decided against giving it to you.
If you want to test the very idea for yourself, listen to one or two of the cylindrical recordings that may have washed the deep past into the shallows of the present for young Lovecraft.
Listening will brings us closer, if not nearer.

The final part, soon, is about the music of horror written into Lovecraft's stories.
