On March 12th of last year, we began our adventure with this channel by presenting "The Call of Cthulhu." Our initial goal when creating Gates of Imagination was to record all of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's stories. Today, after releasing over a hundred audiobooks, we can boast what is probably the first complete collection of the Providence master of horror's stories available on YouTube. We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us on this journey and watched our content. To conclude this long adventure, we offer you a Lovecraftian rarity - a collection of 4 surviving tales from Lovecraft's childhood. Young Lovecraft wrote extensively, but being dissatisfied with his early work, he destroyed most of his youthful creations. Only 4 works survived, saved by the writer's mother, which we now present and encourage you to listen to together.


Table of contents:

• The Little Glass Bottle
• The Secret Cave or John Lees adventure
• The Mystery of the Grave-Yard or or “A Dead Man’s Revenge”
• The Mysterious Ship
