About this listen
Cool Air, written by H.P. Lovecraft in 1926, is a chilling tale that masterfully blends gothic horror with the scientific and psychological themes characteristic of Lovecraft's work. First published in Tales of Magic and Mystery in 1928, this story explores the fragility of human life and the lengths to which one might go to preserve it, set against the backdrop of a decaying New York City apartment.
The narrative follows a tenant who befriends his upstairs neighbor, Dr. Muñoz, a reclusive physician with an unnaturally cold room and an aversion to warmth. As the protagonist learns more about the doctor’s peculiar habits and chilling medical theories, the story descends into a harrowing revelation about the doctor’s struggle against mortality.
Through vivid descriptions and escalating tension, Lovecraft immerses listeners in an atmosphere of dread, crafting a tale that lingers long after its conclusion.
