I started playing these Lovecraft audiobooks while I go to sleep, but this one actually made me shiver and sit up in my bed. Took another 30 mins to get to sleep. Go ahead and call me a pussy, but I've never been scared by any horror movie. This is brilliant.
@RaphKittyKat The text begins 'To S.L.' but in this case I decided to leave that out... and I've seen other copies which don't have the dedication on them at all, so I'm in good(?) company :o)
I adore your readings, but just now I realised that between paragraphs (stanzas?), I think you could make use of a dramatic pause. I love the unrelenting pace elsewhere, it really adds to the atmosphere of your readings.
So what's the story of H.P. Lovecraft really? Was he actually insane or did he just have an amazingly intense imagination/supply of drugs? Did he believe these things to really exist or did he pull a bizarre intricate universe thing like J.R.R. Tolkien? Edit: I forgot to comment on your dramatic reading, it's really nice and I enjoyed your rumbling voice. 10/10
Late but he wasn't insane or on drugs. He was just really imaginative, depressed, and considerably racist He got better though On the racism thing not the depression thing as far as I know
It´s not one of his more famous stories, but I daresay it is one of the best.
One of the best lovecraftg stories, along with Nyarlathotep
Yes
I fucking agree!!
Some of best readings of Lovecraft's works I've heard.
Hypnos was dedicated to H.P.Lovecraft's friend Samuel Loveman.

This one was a little bit intense - pass me the nepenthe!
Excellent reading, and nice subtle touch to the ending.
freakin beautiful, weird and sinister voice
This is a trip report!
Erowid style
This far exceeds any level of sophistication an erowid report wishes to have.
terrific Shakespearean voice !!!!

And forget this intense Lovecraft.
Reminds me of Mr. Will Self ;-)
@ZachValkyrie I might, but if I read it and then say no that may cause offense :o)
"Approaching 40"? Sounds much older to me.
If it's me you're talking about, I'm currently 50. What's it to ya?
