If you listen closely, you can hear another voice speaking in the background. Logic tells me this is more than likely another audiobook recording happening in the same building, but it does add an unsettling layer to the recording none the less.
I noticed it too. It's something that could happen with cassette tapes and is probably audio from the other side. If you're listening to side A, audio from side B could leak through as they are literally side by side the entire length of the tape. I don't know if it's a problem with the tape itself or the playing head being misaligned.
The initial writing/audio is reminiscent of those who lived during the timeframe within history previous to the scientific/industrial. The intrigue that is created internally when those who refuted such rigidity is abound. These such audio versions do entice one to purchase a mobile device.
I wasn't sure if I'd read the book or had a dream about everything in the book it was that long ago. I guess I'd read the book. Reading a book in lockdown 2021 is one thing I can enjoy and lose myself for a while. From the worryings of life at this time.
Lovecraft may have inadvertently unleashed the very elder things that have seized control of our world now in the era of digital dictatorship 2020s! Unnameable and unfathomable horrors are sure to follow.
Haha!!! I had no idea I could find HP on TH-cam!!!! I use to sit in the public library floor as a kid just read the flimsy paperbacks. WOW! This is neato ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love this
This narrator is amazing - Conrad Feiniger, you should also check out his excellent Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Colour out of space. The other main narrator is equally great in a different manner - Gordon Gould. He mainly did the shorter ones, like From Beyond, The Outsider and The Unnameable. Sadly none of these videos seem to mention the narrator in the title or description, but I'm still so glad they exist. I listen to one of those two voices literally every day.
@@coconutsmarties Also Wayne June. He has fantastic performances of The Thing on the Doorstep, The Lurking Fear, and The Shunned House that are available on youtube
I was getting really annoyed because I thought that the Narrator was mispronouncing “Peabody”. But then, I looked at my Physical Copy of the Book and the Guy’s Name is actually “Pabodie”. So, it appears that my annoyance was unwarranted after All. Mea Culpa. 🤷♂️
What makes his voice so perfect is he sounds just like I would imagine Lovecraft sounded. Although for all I know, HPL had a high pitch and stuttered. Most people assumed President Lincoln had a deep voice but it was reputed by contemporaries to be a surprisingly high pitch.
I would just download these youtube videos and convert if you wish. If I remember correctly these audio clips are taken from the actual National Archives from the blind audio only section. Not for sale I dont believe.

This narrator is very good, but if you listen to Sean Branney narrate this story it is amazing! He does The Complete Fiction of HP Lovecraft on Audible.
Admiral Byrd had an operation in Antarctica like this except it was government funded and protected by war ships iirc They came back with their tails tucked between their legs Nowadays world leaders make pit stops in Antarctica for some reason… plenty of openings have been seen in satellite images… and plenty of rumors of what Byrd actually found besides “nothing to see here” So it’s probably based on true rumors at the time. We knew more and were allowed more back then. Now you can’t even fly over the pole for some reason even if you charter the flight yourself Interesting hu’
I haven't been to Antarctica myself but i know geologists at my university who have. Also from my own studies of geology, which is a field which has advanced tremendously since lovecraft's day, we know much much more about the precambiran now and no such strata existed. Also GIS has mapped the whole surface of the earth, there are no unknown mountains though some are unexplored
I found this story pretty spooky until he explained the whole culture and history of the old ones - made them too mundane - just walking star fruit? Keep them horrors more unknowable, I say!
Uncanny is that which resembles us and yet is alien to us. The horror of Lovecraft isn't that these things or beings are extraordinary, but that we are so ordinary in comparison that we do not matter. That is the essence of Cosmicism.
3:06 "Four large Dornier aeroplanes designed especially for the tremendous altitude flying necessary on the Antarctic plateau..." 6:33 "The dogs, sledges, machines, camp materials, and unassembled parts of our five planes were delivered in Boston..." First he says four airplanes, and three minutes later he says five. Tsk tsk, Lovecraft. Where was your editor?
By far the best reader. I’ve listened to his versions for years. In my head canon, this is Lovecraft’s voice lmao
It's true and Lovecrafts description makes you wonder if he is telling is facts about our mysterious past he was friends with people in the know
I feel like im listening to this huddled next to my radio in the old days, listening to stories like green hornet, the shadow, and war of the worlds.
Vintage late 1920 - early to mid 1930's radio shows were epic.
I remember when War Of The Worlds broadcasted. The panic that it caused. People went insane thinking it was real

@@thenameless2379 you remember that? It was over 80 years ago
@@VanguardSolarEnergy come on man, you know all octogenarians are avid youtube commenters. 😅
Lovecrafts writings display a vast knowledge in so many different areas though never finishing high school.
Knowledge is in the beholder after all 😉
Shows college education doesn't automatically mean you are smart and not gullible.

Never underestimate the Power of the Autodidact.
Many thanks to this narrator.His voice is about as perfect as one can get for reading Lovecraft IMHO.
Conrad Feininger
Thanks for the name of reader. I would never found him otherwise. @@NateB
Yea this is like the only narrator for lovecraft that I can listen to
Thank God , I finally found one with adequate audio , thank you .
He makes it sound so fuckin real, like he was actually there.
The narrator could pass for Lovecraft himself, but he was notoriously tacitern
thank u for putting this up its the only one i found so far with a narrator who isn't obviously reading it for the first time.
or his voice just dont sound like the kind of guy that could or would be on this expedition.
Those prompts to turn the tape over bring back a few memories
It really adds something, I think!
The chap narrating this series of Lovecraft stories has the perfect voice. That 1950's radio presenters style fits.
Admiral Byrd stated that he heard the Southern Lights .He said the music made by the lights was trascendant and otherworldly.He was the first to spend a winter Alone in an iceshack in Antartica.
i like listening to H.P. Lovecraft while playing Subnautica
Good idea, gonna do that after werk tonight
Subnautica creators ahould make a game about this
Why? You will be expecting more than you will ever get with that video game,
This might be my favorite tale of his, though it's awfully hard to choose
For me it has to be Rats in the Walls
@@18thTryKyle That's an excellent one

@@DenkyManner Or maybe audio that has been recorded over but has left a trace on the tape.
@@Ardepark that doesnt happen with the type of tape used in cassettes
It's called tape bleeding or print-through. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Print-through
Conrad Feininger is the Narrator.
The perfect voice for this.

Five in total, the last was for back up, which they had to use of course 🥴
Four would be able to carry the entire expedition and all its equipment. A fifth was brought as reserve.
It doesn't matter! It contributes to the overall manic and confused tempo of the novella!
