After the holidays, we’re back! There are a couple of small audio errors in this, but they’re not too bad. I’m working on getting my microphone repaired so hopefully these will be resolved in the near future.

I find your voice soothing, Brian. 🎉 Well done.

I agree with the comments about AI voices. At least as a human you are willing to accept the feedback. You have my sympathies with regard to finding stories that haven't been done to death. The reason that everyone reads them is because they are the good ones. HPL is a mixed blessing. People will give a reading a chance just because it is HPL but some of the less read stories just aren't his best work. I think "The Horror at Read Hook" fits that group. It has some good creepy moments but just doesn't have the power of some of his better known works. The story also reflects some of HPL's personal flaws more than his other works. I say this not as a criticism of the reading but to acknowledge that even with an author who has seen a resurgence in popularity there is a finite quantity of really good work. It would require sifting through a lot of material but there are likely some "one hit wonders" in the old pulp magazines that are now in public domain.

Kick

Well done. I enjoyed the story extremely. Thanks.

Very well read! It's interesting to me that Lovecraft writes this story in the third person, whereas in Shadow Over Innsmouth he writes in first person. He seems to be identifying with the protagonist at the beginning where he writes that he was a short story writer in Providence, writing stories about the same stuff that Lovecraft himself would write. It seems like in this story he is actually writing about himself.

I like your work

One small thing - when dealing with foreign words and names, be sure to look up the pronunciations. Arthur Machen is 'MAKH-en'. Lesen (to read) is LAY-zen.

Stumbled across your account while looking for a lovectaftian style story. I was pleasantly surprised by your narration of the story. I will subscribe and turn on the notifications. Your on the way to becoming a popular narrator.

So happy to have found another great HUMAN narrator. Don’t listen to that sour sally below. I hope you stick with it. And now I’m going to give a little unsolicited advice-seek out stories that not every other spooky narrator has covered. That’s the hard part.

find a narrator with style and cadence not this monotonous drone !!!!

Still working on the setup. There’s a few pieces of the audio here that I’m not totally happy with, but I do think in general my pacing and everything else is improving. The ultimate goal is for audible level of quality in these chapters and books. I’m not there currently, but I will be. Thanks for listening.

Yo this is insane. Well done
