"The Mysterious Mr Montague" by Jane Percival | From the Land of the Long White Cloud

Season 2 · Episode 27

Saturday, November 15, 2025 • Duration 46:34

"I never eat pork. It's not that I'm vegetarian, or Jewish or Muslim, it's all to do with something that happened in the 70's, when I was fifteen years old."

So begins a tale of innocence lost, buckets of blood, and the lengths someone might go to in order that they might... sustain a life.

A gruesome tale from New Zealand.

"The Whisperer in Darkness" by H. P. Lovecraft | A Tale of the Cthulhu Mythos

Season 2 · Episode 26

Saturday, November 8, 2025 • Duration 03:16:28

In the late 1920's, folklorist and assistant professor at Miskatonic University Albert N. Wilmarth investigates the ominous events that occured in the wake of the historic Vermont Floods.

His ill-advised delving, and correspondance with the recluse Henry Akely, will lead to a series of cosmically horrifying revelations.

Turn your lights down low, put your headphones on, and tune in to the penultimate episode of Tom's Terror Trove Season 2.

"The Unspeakable Betrothal" by Robert Bloch | A Tale of the Cthulhu Mythos

Season 2 · Episode 17

Thursday, September 4, 2025 • Duration 42:50

What if the otherworldly entities of the Cthulhu Mythos aren’t truly evil or malevolent, what if they are simply alien in the most profound sense of the word?

This story from 1949 about a dreamy young woman named Avis Long, maintains an almost romantic, sensuous quality (at least - I think so!), right up until its horrifying conclusion.

Listen out for the breaking into reality of creatures from Yuggoth and elsewhere.

Pleasant dreams.

Er - screams.

"The Vanderlark" by Margaret St. Clair | In Space, No One Can...

Season 2 · Episode 16

Thursday, August 28, 2025 • Duration 27:17

Deep space. Two jumpy chancers. And the aching, endless hunger of the void.

The Vanderlark was published in 1952, and written by prolific speculative fiction author Margaret St. Clair. It's the first 'pure' sci fi story for TTT. Rejoice!

The name may stem from the Vrykolakas, a vampire of sorts from Greek folklore. You'll see why.

"Lazarus" by Leonid Andreyev | Existential Dread

Season 2 · Episode 15

Thursday, August 21, 2025 • Duration 01:02:31

Published in 1906, this lush, vivid and grim story paints a picture of the post-resurrection life of Lazarus not as a miracle to be celebrated, but an abomination to be abhorred.

The author, Leonid Andreyev, lived from 1871 to 1919, and the rich vein of Expressionism that runs through his novels, plays and short stories proved highly influential. Authors such as H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, who read Andreyev in translation in the 1920's, spoke favourably of his work.

Hold on to your hats, dear listeners, 'cause this one is B L E A K.

"Pickman's Model" by H. P. Lovecraft | Dark Corners of the Earth

Season 2 · Episode 14

Thursday, August 14, 2025 • Duration 43:54

The madness and monstrosity lay in the figures in the foreground—for Pickman’s morbid art was preëminently one of daemoniac portraiture.

In this classic short story by H. P. Lovecraft, the narrator, Thurber, describes his encounter with the reclusive painter of the story's title, and comes to a dreadful conclusion about the inspiration behind his creations.

"Pickman's Model" was written in September 1926 and first published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales.

"Out of the Deep" by Walter de la Mare | Last Gasp of the Gothic

Season 2 · Episode 13

Thursday, August 7, 2025 • Duration 01:20:52

Walter John de la Mare (25 April 1873 – 22 June 1956) was a prolific writer of fiction, and a crafter of finely tuned psychological horror. Lumping this particular story in with the 'gothic' subgenre is a little crude, but it shares a fair some features with The Turn of the Screw, so if you enjoyed my reading of that legendary novella, you'll likely appreciate this. Then again, I don't think Henry James had much of a sense of humour. De la Mare on the other hand...

Out of the deep features an unwanted inheritance, frequently interrupted sleep, childhood trauma, and something unpleasant 'below stairs'.

Also - I'm going to have a bit of a catch-up and discussion at the start of each episode, for those of you who'd like a little more context with their weekly spooky tales. Fear not, there are skippable chapters!

"The Judge's House" by Bram Stoker | Last Gasp of the Gothic

Season 2 · Episode 11

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 • Duration 48:32

In this story: RATS!

Seeking solitude in which to study mathematics for his upcoming tripos (it's a Cambridge university thing), a fresh-faced undergraduate takes lodgings at an ill-omened country house. Could this possibly end well?

No. No it could not.
