À propos de cet audio

The Cats of Ulthar, written by H.P. Lovecraft in 1920, is a short yet striking tale that showcases his ability to blend dark fantasy with moral allegory. First published in Tryout in 1920, the story is a haunting meditation on justice, retribution, and the mystical bond between cats and the arcane. It occupies a unique place in Lovecraft’s body of work, weaving a fable-like narrative that retains the eerie undertones characteristic of his writing.

Set in the fictional town of Ulthar, the story tells of a grim couple who delight in tormenting and killing cats. Their cruelty comes to an end when a group of travelers, led by a mysterious young boy, invoke an ancient curse. What follows is a tale of poetic justice, as the couple's wickedness is met with an unsettlingly precise and supernatural reckoning. Lovecraft's reverence for cats shines through the narrative, portraying them as creatures of mystery, wisdom, and cosmic importance.

Beyond its surface as a moralistic tale, The Cats of Ulthar delves into Lovecraft’s recurring themes: the idea of unseen forces that operate beyond human understanding and the concept of justice meted out by entities far greater than mortal comprehension. The story’s vivid imagery, atmospheric prose, and fable-like structure make it both accessible and deeply haunting.
