A reading of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Temple, " by H.P. Lovecraft, first published in the September, 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first read aloud here, by me, in June of 2026.

Please note, this is a horror podcast, so its content may not be for everyone. This story contains several references to both homicide and suicide, war crimes, a claustrophobic entrapment aboard a disabled submarine, the undead, off-putting dolphins, Atlantean architecture, and excessive ethnocentrism and national chauvinism throughout. If these elements are likely to disturb you unduly, you are advised to skip this episode.

You can read this story yourself at HPLovecraft.com, or enjoy the ambient "UNDERWATER Ambience 10 Hours," by Asleep in Perfection at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dJDFGvkc1Y .

Next time, we'll be joined by my attorney, wife, and Texas Democratic candidate for United States Congress, Claire Reynolds, as we delve into the depths of this story of nationalism, hubris, and zombie cannibalistic dolphins.
