Ian Gordon, going under the name "HorrorBabble," makes excellent audio recordings of horror and ghost stories--mostly those that were published in the pulp magazines--that have passed into the public domain, including those by H.P. Lovecraft. (He also started doing the same for pulp fantasy fiction under the moniker of "FantasyBabble"). He'd released an earlier collection of Cthulhu mythos stories, but explains why he recorded an updated version:
Our original 2018 collection was based on Lin Carter’s Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos, which defined a Mythos story as one that: presents a significant item of information about the background lore of the Mythos, thus contributing important information to a common body of lore.
This 2025 edition expands that foundation, adding Dagon, Nyarlathotep, The Colour Out of Space, and The Mound, along with updated recordings of The Nameless City, The Hound, The Festival, History of the Necronomicon, The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror, The Dreams in the Witch House, and The Shadow over Innsmouth.
You can buy the HorrorBabble audio book recordings (and related FantasyBabble recordings) at Bandcamp. There is a more limited selection of Horror Babble recordings on Audible or through Amazon. Sometimes may have to search variously under "Horrorbabble" or "Ian Gordon".
He also used to sell a complete collection of Lovecraft's works, which I have, but I don't know if that full collection is still offered for sale.
