You can tell it's George R.R. Martin if you just read pages about the food. It's so prevalent, people have made cookbooks based on the meals explained in his books.
Read At the Mountains of Madness if you want to see Lovecraft go all out with his descriptions. The descriptions do paint an interesting picture though.
This is Lovecraft's final story before his death in 1937. It makes you wonder if the Haunter of the Dark was really the one who finally did him in for revealing too much...
I will belive what you say to be true, in aspect of "it was his last storytelling" and I ad-lib that slightly... (sorry Grammer po po 😅) ever thought he knew it was his last tenticluar tale? As we belive it was the last of Nobel words of fancy that would Twixt ones inner darkness and bring it to twilight's dawn
I love the Poe shout-out towards the end - Roderick Usher, of the Fall of the House of Usher. No doubt that Lovecraft greatly admired that tale from the master Poe.
@@sweatynutlover4827 I know this is a one-year-old post but, check out Blood Meridian there is a character that is just that way all the time. You'll like him.
Never bothered with lovecraft work before. But have been fascinated by the SCP universe which takes a lot of inspiration from lovecraft, however can safely say after listening for 10 minutes I’m loving this! How has it taken me so long to give this a chance
I've read a ton of it and there are a lot of good ones. Horror babble here on TH-cam have done quite a few of them. Just look out for racisms if you're sensitive to that sort of stuff. Especially stories like rats in the wall.
@@anonamously5858 and in herbert west. The racism picks up at a shocking rate. It goes from none to super in under 10 paragraphs. Taljs bad about women, black people, and Italians. Then a bit later it goes again
Thank you for the suggestions and I’ll be sure to look out for that kind of stuff but truth be told I’m English so I can’t be offended by a lot of that, don’t agree with it but certainly won’t put me off a good horror story
It was the latest blow up of Cuhthulu what couple of year now that got attention as I do love a good book.. I chose to listen to this audio book because I've been listening/watching scp storytelling 😁 🙏
Me too I never listened to the lovecraft stories, just went to the scp’s. However the other night I woke up to Dunwich horror and the description of Lavinia the albino and her goat child I’ve been catching up the past few days😅
Fantastic reading of a Lovecraft tale most excellent. When I first read this story it really terrified me and it terrifies me again with your telling of it. Thank you for bringing this tale to life for me
Honestly I think his language is one of the reasons that his works weren't as popular during his own lifetime? Having read many classics from the era, people just didn't talk/write like that anymore. I think it made his characters feel less realistic to his audience at the time. I mean, imagine if someone wrote a book where people talked in mid Atlantic way reminiscent of the 1960s but it takes place in modern day. It'd be weird, right?
love your videos, you are my favorite narrator because you don't exaggerate your voice and make it feel fake, always listen to your videos when I go for a walk
Thank you exoloring as a dyslexic I've always hated to read as the words allot of times don't make sense and it's frustrating,but with this I've always wanted to read on of his books thank you for this
Christmas, is christmas, but you say happy holidays because there’s about a half dozen holidays celebrated on or almost on the same day. And about a dozen forgotten ones that should still be celebrated for man’s good will, or should never be recovered for the good will of man...
oh man this is going to be awesome. Edit: It was! I've always wanted him to do exactly this. I figured it had to happen eventually. I hope there are more HP lovecraft stories on the way. They make such great audio books and I cannot imagine anyone else who I would rather have reading them than...I don't know channel creator's name so I'll call him The Explorer.
Daniel Bohl I listen to this channel when I’m going to bed. Using REM sleep is when your imagination makes these stories so surreal. I often fall asleep before they end. Rather nice to listen to. Am I a sociopath?
That story has been done to death. Give him a real challenge, “The Mountains of Madness”. The story won’t be hard to tell....but finding illustrations that would do justice to the impossible architecture and geometry of the lost city has never been done correctly and many believe may be impossible.
I haven’t listened to it yet but wanted to say that this is amazing, please please please do more of these, the Ouroboros Cycle was amazing to listen to and I love the longer episodes! Thank you so much, I look forward to delving into this! ❤️
I'm slowly working my way through your back catalog and I'm loving your work. I don't know if you continue to do any Lovecraft readings but you did a wonderful job! With any luck Ill stumble across a few more as I make way towards your more current videos!
I was listening to youtube in the background and it was just auto playing. I was half listening, but I tabbed over, and see I am lstening to an HP Lovecraft story. I thought it was an SCP Lord Blackwood tale, lol! Easy to see where the Blackwood tales got their influence!
Thank you so much for all your work on youtube. You make my morning drives so much more bearable and my work days tolerable. Now you upload a quality reading of one of my favorite Lovecraft stories. Fantastic.
Great reading. I have always been interested in the link between Robert E Howard & H.P. Lovecraft. The mingling of their stories with cross-references of ancient civilizations and elder Gods. Their friendship certainly influenced each other. Would love to see you touch on those.
HP Lovecraft is a bit risky online, Twitter might hear about it and claim that because you read one of his books you must agree with him on absolutely everything.
Easily one of my favorite love craft stories, thank you so much! Paired with your voice, this is by far one of the best readings of this story I’ve heard
It's early morning, and I'm listening to this with a glass of orange juice and a cup of hot tea, both for my cold. Please sir, may we have some more?🎃👍😱
Very well read, I heard that this story was the inspiration to a section in Bloodborne and wanted to listen to it during my workout, and it didn't disappoint. Keep it up bud.
"I have seen the Dark Universe yawning"...really, I thought Dracula Untold was a good movie, not boring at all, and I was sad when the planned franchise never materialized. To think that Lovecraft actually got to watch the final Mummy/Vampire team-up movie all those decades ago.
The necronomicon: one of the most rare books in all of history, yet, in every story about lovecraftian horror, you find one. From the Hexer series, the stories of Wolfgang Hohlbein (which is german), to a story about sherlock holmes and cthulhu and almost any of the other stories, there is one.

Hi !! I just discovered H.P lovecraft horror stories. Which book do you think I should read first? I really like horror stories, but Im a little lost. Thank you 🤩❤💜
It's not a coincidence that our protagonists are informed about the Necronomicon given that Lovecraft's fictional universe is centered around its contents. We follow these protagonists simply because they are familiar with the Necronomicon and the dangers entailed within. None of the protagonists are everyday grocers and postmen with nice families and well-mowed lawns , but academics and explorers with an interest in the occult. There's a reason Lovecraft did not write a spin-off about Akeley's son in San Diego
Also, books can be numerically rare with a scarce yet well-visited number of copies. There appears to be a disproportionally high concentration of editions in New England, but aside from that perhaps entire nations are spared its terrible presence

You know you're reading an H.P. Lovecraft story when you suddenly realize you're 15+ pages deep into pure architectural descriptions.
You can tell it's George R.R. Martin if you just read pages about the food. It's so prevalent, people have made cookbooks based on the meals explained in his books.
You know its a Playboy magazine because of the informative articles.
🤜🤛 😁
@Alexander Asher haha thats only joking, maybe just a few pages 😄
Read At the Mountains of Madness if you want to see Lovecraft go all out with his descriptions. The descriptions do paint an interesting picture though.
And when it's eldritch and gable-haunted.
“Did not dress and ordered all his food by telephone”
We call that a Tuesday haha
Even more relevant now.
equally apathetic.
Strangely prophetic
Cosmically Horrific
Lol yeah best part
This is Lovecraft's final story before his death in 1937. It makes you wonder if the Haunter of the Dark was really the one who finally did him in for revealing too much...
It was the moth man..... He is watching you right now....... Look behind you

After 10, 000 years, Lovecraft content in this channel are back!

He had return
Them Necrons probably refer to them as the C'Tan
Illidan triggering intensifies
Can Meperor help me kill Furries?
Wait...didn’t you have a spooky avatar before?
Or is this an entirely different fragment?
Only HP Lovecraft could write an hour long story that seems like its only 15 minutes.
I love the Poe shout-out towards the end - Roderick Usher, of the Fall of the House of Usher. No doubt that Lovecraft greatly admired that tale from the master Poe.
He mentioned him in the mountains of madness too
Oh snap my first Lovecraft related thing ever besides SCP articles. Glad it's from TES
I was so confused because I though you meant the elder scrolls
You should check out his exploring lovecraft

Fantastic reading of a Lovecraft tale most excellent.

terrifies me again with your telling of it.
Thank you for bringing this tale to life for me
*looks at video length*
*no ads*
Bless you, TH-cam has become unwatchable lately.
I love how archaic Lovecraft's English was. It's giving it a very particular flavor.
Or, shall I say, It does provide a most peculiar mystique.
Lovecraft was a massive fan of Poe. You can see he adopted Poe’s language for his stories
Isn't proper grammar glorious?
Honestly I think his language is one of the reasons that his works weren't as popular during his own lifetime?
Having read many classics from the era, people just didn't talk/write like that anymore. I think it made his characters feel less realistic to his audience at the time. I mean, imagine if someone wrote a book where people talked in mid Atlantic way reminiscent of the 1960s but it takes place in modern day. It'd be weird, right?

I actually named my genestealer cult after “The Church of Starry Wisdom”.

Yes!
@@josephmoffatt4696 yeah thats what i thought
I love how the name of the Church is Fifthist af
I've never been one for audio books, but this was awesome! This is the first Lovecraft book I've experienced and I am not disappointed.
Lovecraft really seems to love architecture.
Fun Fact, so did Hitler, just look at his artworks!
I love the pictures you include in your readings, Thank you for listing the artists pages!
love your videos, you are my favorite narrator because you don't exaggerate your voice and make it feel fake, always listen to your videos when I go for a walk

Man, keep doing these audio-book/readings. You're very good at this.
One of my favorite youtubers reading my favorite lovecraft story? Has chrismas come early?!
two months early
Christmas just got canceled.
Iä, Iä!
Really. “Christmas”?.... it’s 2019. We say Happy Holidays now. You lovecraftians are all the same.
Christmas, is christmas, but you say happy holidays because there’s about a half dozen holidays celebrated on or almost on the same day.
And about a dozen forgotten ones that should still be celebrated for man’s good will, or should never be recovered for the good will of man...
Why is everyone getting so serious and arguing? I was just making a joke about how much i love the video. Fucking chill
oh man this is going to be awesome.

Going to be real honest I listen to your videos when I sleep keep up your videos they are amazing
Glad this pops up, Im on a 1 hour train ride,
Try the Midnight Meat Train.
I’m so glad i had the free time and was able to listen to this all the way through. :D

That story has been done to death. Give him a real challenge, “The Mountains of Madness”. The story won’t be hard to tell....but finding illustrations that would do justice to the impossible architecture and geometry of the lost city has never been done correctly and many believe may be impossible.

Which section do you think? Old Yharnam?
while i love the SCP and i really love that.. this was so so wonderful thank you

How about a mythology video about the flatwoods monster?
You'll know when it drops with Epitaph
I tip my hat to you, sir. That was some fine audio reading. You are very talented.
ok... this was great. please do this more

Loving the audiobooks! Thanks for the content
This is amazing. I hope you do more, I love Lovecraft

Lovecraft and narrator. …..perfect! Thank you
Amazing! Lately haven't had time for fiction as of lately but I thought why not, it's spooky month! Not disappointed! Chilled to the bone:)

It's not a coincidence that our protagonists are informed about the Necronomicon given that Lovecraft's fictional universe is centered around its contents.
We follow these protagonists simply because they are familiar with the Necronomicon and the dangers entailed within. None of the protagonists are everyday grocers and postmen with nice families and well-mowed lawns , but academics and explorers with an interest in the occult. There's a reason Lovecraft did not write a spin-off about Akeley's son in San Diego
Also, books can be numerically rare with a scarce yet well-visited number of copies. There appears to be a disproportionally high concentration of editions in New England, but aside from that perhaps entire nations are spared its terrible presence
