Many thanks to listener C.L. Larsson who requested these two short tales by H.P. Lovecraft.

In "What The Moon Brings" an unnamed narrator tells of a moonlight stroll which by turns becomes strange and horrifying in nature.

The second tale, "The Thing in the Moonlight," is an extract from a letter written by Lovecraft to Donald Wandrei of a dream wherein a traveller has a ghastly encounter under the light of the moon.
