Best version i have come across. Others are too fast, too "young sounding" or their accent is difficult for me to understand....yours is perfect....captures HPL's tone of a scientist very GRADUALLY realizing what he is facing with all its horrific implications!
I went through at least six other narrators’ interpretations of this book before finding yours, and I would just like to say that this is easily the best by a large margin. Thanks so much for such an amazing performance!
A reading read as if HP Lovecraft read it himself. Steve Parker has that gift. Some have it in acting like Laurence Oliver. Some have it in auto racing like Dale Earnhardt Sr. Mr Parker is "the" narrator of books of our time !!!!
Bro, how are you always aware of the next book I’m looking to get into before I know. Swear I subscribed like 6months ago after 1984 and looked through you library. Then I hear about Lovecraft, look into and I’ll be damn if my boy Steve aint already on it. Your work is legendary, animating imagination. Bravo!
@@SteveParkerAudiobooks I certainly did, and I've kept on recommending your channel to people. Trying to get through your remastering of BNW one of these days, just need enough time *sigh* hope all is well in Japan!
Your voice, pacing and intonations are again absolutely on point. I did find the writing too complex to really enjoy, perhaps one day there’ll be a more digestible version of this tale. And perhaps even a sequel where Chtulu is arisen for more than 10 minutes 😂
35:33 at midnight with the bass of my speaker on high absolutely frightened me. SO I say great job! It worked scaring the living hell out of me at least HAHA
This is embarrassing, but I don't know. Normally I keep track of these things, but it's not in the music file and I made it quite a while ago so I have no idea. I'll keep hunting and see if I can find it, but for now I'm afraid I have to let you down. Sorry!
Just starting this audio book now, and I am not sure what I am getting myself into here. Never read lovecraft before, but I sort of know it's horror. Not sure about the style or anything, so it'll be very interesting.
@@SteveParkerAudiobooks Thanks, it was well read, like always, but it was very underwhelmingly written. This is just a very vague second hand experience of some unconfirmed events. It's all hearsay and nothing actually happens, it's all events of the past recollected by the narrator. Cthulu is big and ugly and powerful, and when he awakes something will happen. What exactly? No one knows. The book is a little disappointing, after all the Cthulu hype out there. What do you think?
So I was listening to this on another device, but tonight, I used another. Just randomly typed the title and clicked the first result and was severely disappointed with the narration, I mean, I liked your narration so much that everything else seemed average.
I have to say all the hype about how scary this book is, is overrated. It really wasn't that chilling or scary to me. But it's still a good book and Lovecraft is awesome regardless
@@SteveParkerAudiobooks I shouldn't of said it like that. I guess if you think deeply about it, it is pretty dark and scary. I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft
Many videos later, I finally found a cozy reader who could introduce me to the Lovecraft universe 😊
Glad to be of service Dani, hope you enjoy my stuff.

I'm happy you enjoyed it. I spent a lot of time getting the pace of the growing horror right, and I'm very glad that came across.

Thank you very much! I don't often get such glowing praise on this book in particular. I'm glad you're enjoying my work. :)

Oh gosh! High praise indeed! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my work.
Cthulhu may have got hit by a boat... but he simply regenerated.
Everyone needs a hobby - that's his.

I really have to give credit to my ring of spies for this one. ;)
Laughed along with this comment too much
this is absolutely amazing, i listened to it on a rainy night with a cup of hot chocolate, probably my favorite time i stayed up to late
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
By far, my favorite reading of this on TH-cam. Great voice work/reading!
Thank you, JR. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic reading once again!

All right, Mr. Parker! Looking forward to try this one, I just wanna say again you're doing an amazing job at these audiobooks
Thank! I'm glad you're enjoying them, and hope you like this one. :)

You're very welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying my work. Lovecraft is always tricky! :)

Haha! Excellent. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great stuff, your voice is perfect for this kind of book.
Thank you Stefano, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for this reading
You are so welcome :)
The best reading of this I've found! I've listened to others you've done as well... Masterfully done
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff :)
Oooo good narration voice :) it reminds me of the intro of nightmare before Christmas in a way
Anyways good night listeners
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying my work :)

I've read a few lovecraft, and a few horror stories. :)
Wow, this is narrated so well!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Don’t mind me...

I'm late, but if you put the video into watch later it saves where you last left off
Mike Bennett is usually my guy for Lovecraft audiobooks. But this one is great too.
Good stuff, I'll have to check out Mike's stuff. Glad you liked this one, thanks for listening!
You set a high bar my friend!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Tres bon :)

what is the violin music at the beginning?
This is embarrassing, but I don't know. Normally I keep track of these things, but it's not in the music file and I made it quite a while ago so I have no idea. I'll keep hunting and see if I can find it, but for now I'm afraid I have to let you down. Sorry!

Absolutely well done 👏🏻😌
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You should do Dracula
It's definitely on the list.
love it
Thanks Eric, I'm glad you like it.

This makes me far happier than it probably should. :D

I will try not to be too pleased about this. :)
Is this complete?
Yes. Look at the title.
Am I a dragon?
I doubt it, but that doesn't mean you can't attack life with all the vigour of one. All the best.
I've been catching myself using proper English in conversation, rather than American ironically.

True blue! 🙂
@@SteveParkerAudiobooks you're doing us proud 👏
Came here from a greentext about anime
Huh. Well, there you go. I hope your enjoying my work, anyway.

It was pretty scary 100 years ago. I should know, I was there! :P
