But still the Pole Star leers down from the same place in the black vault, winking hideously like an insane watching eye which strives to convey some strange message, yet recalls nothing save that it once had a message to convey. That line gives me shivers
People often complain of Lovecraft's "stiff" prose, or his bad writing--but this story, as perform'd here, is quite wonderful, and its prose is poetically beautiful.
His writing is so imaginative, full of imagery that is hard to match (few can do it), has been replicated many times over, has influenced HUGE modern horror movies and authors (S. King for example), and it some of the best writing I have ever been blessed to read. I always just assume people who complain can't understand it. It IS hard to understand. Some stories I had to read twice. Some I still don't quite get, but sometimes that is the point. Makes them no less beautiful. He shows range and ability to write in diff contexts while holding to his own true style. Example, I like the C Mythos but they are my least favorite even though Necronomicon is his best known works. I personally am a fan of the Dream Cycles. The Silver Key, MAGIC. Ex Oblivione, hauntingly stunning (and still a little hard for me still to understand)... Even he hisself is a quite interesting character. His writing is EXTRAORDINARY and highly evolved and intelligent. Therefore to some, hard to understand if they don't have a larger vocabulary or the desire to pull out a dictionary to look up such words. The Eldritch and gothic times developed wonderful literature that was not always meant to make sense but to make one question. I LOVE HIS WRITING!
There are So Many others putting out H.P. Lovecraft stories, and all are Crap. This selection is THE BEST! I WANT TO KNOW WHO THE SPEACER IS, You NOT GIVING WHO IT ARE THE READER!!!
Dreams of Witch House was rendered onto film in the series Masters of Horror. I liked it. I like that film series but as each episode is done by a different Director on the horror genre some are better than others. I recommend the series to any of you out there. As I have previously stated: I love this channel!
I Love HP Lovecrafts work and find I can drift away and be taken on a journey like no other writer can do with his work. Yet I found this one hard to follow. Its the first one where I have to say I just dont get it. I may be tired. Will move on to another and come back to this. Anyone else see this one as harder to follow ?
So he was writing of the viking type people who were exterminated by Asiatics (it was eskimos, right?) in the northern part of N.America thousands of years ago? Interesting that he knew about that.
Roger R In the Northeast, the Mic Mac had dealings with them, things got ugly, the Vikings were forced to leave. Not sure about any Eskimo/Viking skirmishes.

KTSamurai1 He was a good author,that’s why,and he never promoted his beliefs in any meaningful way.Its not like he co-wrote Mein Kampf with Hitler and Satan.

Thanks for listening! Cheers!
"...which strives to convey some strange message but can remember nothing save that it had a message once to convey" my favorite line
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Get out of my head weirdo

+wilum pugmire Indeed! His prose fits the general atmosphere of his tales perfectly. Thanks for listening!

insultmeplease ...i was thinking the same thing
"perform'd" 😬
@insultmeplease His writing isn't very physically descriptive. Lots of people don't like that.
Love this guy
H.P. Lovecraft was such a genius for a guy who lived and died in poverty
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Wow. HP Lovecraft was a pro.
Ann Onimus Indeed!

Thanks for the suggestion! And thank you for being a wonderful audience!
The Horror at Red Hook, is missing in playlist. This playlist is great though.

It feels easier to understand when reading it yourself. In my opinion, at least.
Lovecraft is chucked full of occultism in his stories, stuff I've never heard or read about in my own time.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Zachary S. Murray I'll bet your middle name is Scott.
It does seem coded.
Is that William Roberts, the original narrator of Jurassic Park?
So he was writing of the viking type people who were exterminated by Asiatics (it was eskimos, right?) in the northern part of N.America thousands of years ago? Interesting that he knew about that.
its like, literally a documentary eh?
Roger R In the Northeast, the Mic Mac had dealings with them, things got ugly, the Vikings were forced to leave. Not sure about any Eskimo/Viking skirmishes.
no. not at all. lol
Junji Ito really got alot from Mr. Lovecraft huh. This story sounds like a reference for Hellstar Remina.
Junji Ito definitely borrowed some ideas from Lovecraft.
“I saw the city often...”.
Damn, I wish I could be like HP Lovecraft.
Me too! :D
Same I wish I was dead too

Wow he really did know
300!
I heard that Lovecraft does it like a dinny.
I'm not saying it's true. It's just what I heard.
No, he does not do it how thou would surely do it, my boy.
I can't stop thinking that HP Lovecraft looks so similar to Mark Zuckerberg.
Tell me about your midi setup

No, that's a secret. ;)
Only a vague simularity
Awaked?!?!!

Ah it wouldn't be lovecraft without a cheap racist jab.
Dream146 ah it wouldn't be lovecraft commentary without a cheap jab at a cheap racist jab
Filly Phunk that maybe sounded witty in your head but I promise you it just doesn't make sense.
because he was an unapologetic racist and people defend him for some reason
KTSamurai1 He was a good author,that’s why,and he never promoted his beliefs in any meaningful way.Its not like he co-wrote Mein Kampf with Hitler and Satan.
itachi uchiha The main antagonists are meant to be stereotypical depictions of the various Asian peoples.
Little bit of old timey racism here. Yikes! Haha
Prejudices against others wasn't racism in his day. The term wasn't coined until much later.
