to me, this is the best lovecraft story ive heard so far. very beautifully worded and a powerful metaphor about mans current situation; of arrogantly exploring natures deepest hidden secrets (like the self proclaimed half god of the story) with so little anticipation of its likely outcome (the law of unintended consequences)
I agree with you all. Even though I have read a lot of Lovecraft, it is extremely relaxing sitting back and listening to a great narrator spinning a good yarn...
This is poetry without rhymes. Tis a man of ages past, who wrote flows of words. To bring rhythm to aid their strength. I adore these readings, thank you :)
The so-called Other Gods, in all human faiths, have the unending habit of never responding when desired or desperately needed by the mortal faithful. Is silence our only comfort?
The Other Gods are most likely Outer Gods. The description matches pretty well. Nyarlathotep was known to protect the gods of the dream lands, as well. So, I like to imagine him being there in the end.
Well, Lovecraft himself never used the term "Outer Gods" to my knowledge. He would generally either refer to them as Other Gods, such as in this story, or as Ultimate Gods, such as in Nyarlathotep. Nyarlathotep would likely be among the Other Gods, as he is their soul, and the others are mindless without him.
I don't know why ,somehow this reminds me of Elvis Presley , I heard long ago that he had some very mean bodyguards ,the earth gods sound like rich aristocrats that shun the poor while the other gods sound like heavily muscled body guards , but instead of grabbing you it sounds like they paralyse the the intruder and make him vanish.
It's actually far worse than that. The Other Gods are not mere body guards of the Earth Gods, but rather deities of a still-higher echelon. Barzai The Not-So-Wise-After-All calls them "The gods of the outer hells that guard the feeble gods of earth!" I imagine them as being as high above the earth gods as the earth gods are as high above us. So they're not like bodyguards, more like big brothers, protecting their younger siblings from the other snobby kids on the playground. Barzai went looking for gods because he thought he was their equal, but instead found something so much greater than he could possibly comprehend.
About the confusions of man, who in their ignorance, and sheer arrogance claimed themselves to be higher than the gods, or equal to them. ~He would have been spared, if he had bowed his head, made the offerings of blood, time, energy, and food. if he had listened to them, as a student, as a apprentice would heed his masters words, if he would have been wise enough to show humility, he could have been rising to their heights, instead, he choose to leak out their wisdom, as if betrayal would have elevated him. Fools. look at: "the devils quran" at page 52, the lines 24, 25 and 26, within the sura al taj 24And then say: Show me your prophets ,that they may speak for your god? Nay, they are dead to a man. 25For we slew Muhammed, and Isa and Moses and many more besides, 26.for prophets lie and then die.

andy765gtr Yeah, it's a great story!
andy the gardener: .....and becoming wise in their own estimation....they became as fools....and thus the circle is closed.
This narrator is amazing.
Thanks for listening!

I love this narrator, too. He's helped me to understand Lovecraft's phrasing.
Isn’t the narrator Lovecraft?
Even if that is you, then you sound just like him
@@xxfazedjxxx8429 I'm not sure who it is, but this is definitely not Lovecraft though.
Dreamers dream unknown dreams of powers old, once known but forever gone
Thanks for listening! Cheers!

Some books deserve multiple reading/listening. Cheers!

Lovecraft was truly talented. I think even to this day, he's still underrated.
The 8 drunken gods who kungfu kick any one to death who dares to serve them bad wine.

This is the best narrator I've ever heard. I wish I could hear him read Fight Club. Would be amazing.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!

nyarlathotep also liked to mentally screw with humanity just for fun.

A wonderful dream- this is Lovecraft deep under the hallucinatory influence of Lord Dunsany.
+Kaecyy Thanks for listening!
Very enjoyable, this is one of my favorite of his shorter works.

A great tale of Man's Hubris.
This cat can really spin a yarn....
The moral of this story: pride goes before the fall.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Pride ? You speak lightly of my nutsack that which you should tread carefully near for fear of seminal suffusion
Okay, I won't use any equipment to climb, geeeeeeesh!
Oh great. My cassette player just broke.
Yes, it's always good to make back up copies of your cassette tape into mp3 because they can break down very easily.
Thank you
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
but Ba'zai was old and wise and had no fears
Thanks for visiting!
