Why do the characters have southern accents if the story takes place in New England?

[@Vlekistan]

John spella In a lot of smaller back woods communities even today all over the US people have what many consider a Southern accent when in fact it’s remnants of an antiquated early American patois. I lived in a small village in the Catskills for a couple of years right in the middle of Lovecraft country and most of the old timers as well as rural locals who didn’t venture far from home had this or a lighter version of it.

[@johncohle8331]

@@Vlekistan Oh wow. It's fascinating to think of the backwoods communities all over America. I was on a road trip a few years back and we took a less used route out of my state and this one town we went through felt like a time warp.

Literally from beginning to end =) I did various works from King, Bradbury Eudora Welty, (it's a long list) but I didn't get familiar with HP Lovecraft til later in life..I would have definitely *LuVd* doing some of his works, if I had..I realize you get a ton of comments so I have no idea if you'll see this *BUT* A) I hope I can donate in the near future B) What's your favorite story and reading? 💜 Awesome job 💜

The supporting voice actors aren't nearly as strong. Some of the audio work is obnoxious and distracting. Audio quality is definitely 10/10. Still for a free audio book, this one is pretty darn good! (But I wouldn't say perfect.)

[@desktopshorts7411]

I can't be the only one who thinks this would be a great horror film if it were ever to be adapted. Del Toro directing, Doug Jones as Wilbur, possibly Charlie Hunnam in a lead of some sort? I'm just spit-balling here. Finger's crossed! Also, this is perhaps one of the best Lovecraftian narration's on KZbin. Seriously everything is on point in this one. Massive love & support for this channel & team!

[@alexramey2062]

IKR? The problem is that if you're gonna adapt anything Lovecraft you need to market it just right, and make the film itself more about the unknown than just about monsters, something I think both studios and audiences might not understand.

[@Fakezartan]

Conor Doyle there is a movie from 1970 starring Dean Stockwell and Sandra Dee. It was on Netflix for a while a few years back. The movie took A LOT of liberties with the story. But, overall it was good considering the time in which it was made. There was another version from 2009 but it was terrible. I hope it helps. Lovcraft for life!

[@onionmarch]

There are actually 2 movie adaptions to this book. One in 1970 and one in 2009.

[@latentAlchemist]

I think it would. As long as they don’t actually show the monster. It would defeat the purpose of fearing the unknown

LatentAlchemist yes, like The VVitch.

"The Elmer Fryes had been *erased* from Dunwich." The way the reader delivers this line makes it the best part of the reading.

[@thegametroll6264]

ONLY a stench and a tar like stickiness! One of the best delivered lines to be sure.

[@boojay111]

Dunwich actually exists in the UK on the Suffolk coast.It was the capital of the Kingdom of East Angles. In the 13th century most of it sank beneath the waves and on a particular tide (probably on a moonlit night) you can here the sound of the church bells tolling from the deep.

[@HannahSaturnX]

+Katie Millard Towns in the New England region were often named their counterparts in England. Cambridge, Norwich, Oxford, and Coventry are all towns in Connecticut or Massachusetts. I can see why Lovecraft would name the fictional town for a real one across the pond.

[@thenurieta1999]

Loved it! I'm so amazed not only by Lovercraft's imagination but by his writing style. He perfectly manages to capture his sceptic view on human pride and our common belief of superiority when it comes to finding the truth about existence and about life. The thing is, we are no more than another species of animals in a small planet of a never-ending universe we were never meant to understand. He was able to see this even during his time, and express his criticism of anthropocentrism and humanism through his horror books- Indeed, there are many things we shall never understand. Thanks for sharing!

[@MalcolmBrenner]

This is just the best damn horror story ever, and the last line is a kicker! It is rumored by some who profess to know that this will be director Richard Stanley's next Lovecraft adaptation. I thought he did a fantastic job with "Color Out Of Space!" Not only was it beautifully shot and believably acted, how often to you get to see Nicholas Cage milking a llama? Lovecraft was a racist snob, but a Black writer friend of mine absolutely loves his way with words and his style. Nobody else can create such a mood of brooding dread, or things unseen, or things you wish you could forget having seen!

[@RolandWieffering1]

By far the best audio version I heard. And believe me, I heard all there is available . From David McCallum to Wayne June , FNH and Classic Tales Podcast. And then there is Will Hart who has read some great tales as well. But this is the best Dunwich version I have heard. The Backwards dialect sounds more convincing, the background sounds are soft and not distracting. Chapeau to this atmospheric performance, and all the best from Holland.

[@Caliburnius]

I have read this story probably 10 times in the last 25 years. I own a couple of CD audio books of the story as well. You would think that -- the nearly infinite amount of literature I still have not taken the time to read yet and will never finish before I perish -- that enough is enough and I should move on, and I might have agreed. But then I found this audio product by chance and through old habit began to listen, expecting to only spend a few minutes then go do something else. Yet here I am, two hours later, not having been able for one second to tear myself away from this (truly) spectacular presentation of one of Lovecraft's best tales. Firstly, of course, is the work itself and Lovecraft's ability to paint unique images with his flowery, archaic, and convoluted language. In this recording of his work, with the subtle and overt sound effects accompanying the narrator's voice, the story (which I have often envisioned when reading) came much more vividly to life and it was both fascinating and compelling despite my long-time familiarity. As for the reader, Caden Vaughn Clegg, kudos. It is often hard to find a storyteller with the quality of voice and enunciation that makes listening to an extended narration such a pleasant (and gladly repeatable) experience. I shall look for more of your work. To the team that produced this audio book, you should be proud -- it is a job very well done.

The rural new England accent doesn't sound like any kind of southern accent.

This is one of the stories that inspired the creation of the fishing hemlet location in Bloodborne. And boy is the lore of the location close to this story. This wasn't the only one. "The call of Cthulhu" and "The shunned house" gave some inspiration to some ideas in the game. For example, there is a giant Cthulhu monster in the city that is invisible. You can only see it if your character have high enough insight/knowledge. It's similar to the stunned house when there is an invisible monster that can only be seen with some special dust. There is another story of Lovecraft where a man is travelling in his dreams. It like in Bloodborne where you're hunting in a nightmare but at the same time you're supposedly in the waking world, the real world. It can it confusing at first. They also having some ideas inspired by the anime "Berserk".

I've heard various readings of this and they've all been good. And I read this a long time ago also. It is often difficult to dramatize something like this, but this rendition is outstanding. The narration is perfectly stark and level, and the voice acting for the characters is likewise perfect. Based on just that, this gets 10/10. But the sound effects and especially the sounds of the monster at the end before it is destroyed...those qualities put this right off the scale. Better than I could have imagined. Bravo.

The music that accompanies the spoken words is amazing and really makes this reading stand out.

This is the first H.P. Lovecraft story I’ve ever heard and it is amazingly good.

Once you start reading this stuff, you start to see it all across horror and sci-fi. He was such an inspiration, it's a shame he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[@emilhappy5696]

I always listen to h.p.lovecraft before a writing test, it helps me focus

[@legitbeans9078]

This is simply fantastic. Amazing voice acting, narration and sound effects. First video of yours I've listened to and I had to sub! Can't wait to hear more 😊

[@cher8005]

Best horror writer of all time (once you get past the racist, xenophobic shit) - thoroughly researched, beautifully written tales that easily dismiss trite religious nonsense and instead focus on cosmic and existential threats from within and without. This is a really good rendering of this classic story. Thanks.

[@fartzerelli1385]

Your voice and choice of effects (and placement) indicates impeccable taste good sir.

[@necrosleezer666]

been reading Lovecraft for years. living and born in NewEngland, it makes it an always great read. A local hero and icon in a way. And reading in summer/fall in our 200/300+ year old cemeteries is an experience onto itself. Chelmsford, MA. Forefathers Burial Ground (1655) is a good one outside of Salem(MA. & NH). Haverhill, MA.;(Arkham maybe?) has a few good burial grounds too. Awesome audio book guys! narrator makes/creates it an amazing listen and atmos-fear!

[@alexshields6971]

Exquisite telling of the Lovecraft story.

[@mrkbrq2]

Dude this is...amazing man. I've been scouring for a good hp audiobook and wow y'all have blown me away. Sincerely thankful.

[@maitreyalux]

I love the way the story has been adapted to such a great audiobook. Thank you so much !!

[@chillingtalesfordarknights]

+Mike Hughes You are welcome!

This was definitely a great listen, but what I find most interesting is how the concept of horror has evolved over the years. I can see how the creatures could be unspeakably terrifying to the average citizen who probably isn't even aware of the existence of the octopus, but nowadays, thanks to the general exposure everyone gets to this kind of subject matter, H P Lovecraft's stories are more intriguing than scary. Less like catching a glimpse of an unknowable horror with terrible machinations in store for the world, and more like a glimpse behind the curtain at a complex mystery for which the answer can never be truly understood.

[@Thomas_Winters]

boy, I wish I was smart enough to understand this story. cuz im sure its a good one.

[@raynieves8811]

Sherlock Watson haha. You sound like King in his Creepshow cameo.

[@valenciageode25]

I enjoy this story a lot. So fascinating. The descriptions, the setup, and execution. The narration in this video tops it off.

[@pross6525]

A excellent story with a excellent narrator to match this Lovecraft story.

[@albusplaustrum06]

Thank you for the fine reading of this classic.

[@gregorybowe9383]

Fantastic! The best Lovecraft film I have ever watched. Thank you.

[@clintondoesitraw8739]

Still my favourite story on your channel - I listen to it often, especially when travelling by car. Any chance you'll do some other Lovecraft stories in this style?

[@jedizero2]

This is the only version of the Dunwich Horror that I ever want to listen to. Anything else just seems dull. The production value is fantastic! Thank you
