When you watch this video, you can put a bookmark in a simple way. If you watched till 2 minutes and 30 seconds, then simply leave a comment of 02:30 and KZbin automatically creates a link serving as your private bookmark. Also, for long videos, let's say you listened till 2 hours and 33 minutes and 44 seconds, then simply leave a comment of 02:33:44. And when you comeback to the video, simply click the comment/link you left last time. Hope this helps!

[@TheRecluseeee]

You are really lucky!

[@featherknife8611]

I spent a few years in the Monterey-Carmel area in California. My best friend, who grew up in Carmel, went to school with the son of Clark Ashton Smith, who I consider to be in the same league with Lovecraft. A higher compliment would be hard to find for a writer. Smith and Lovecraft corresponded quite a bit as well. Lovecraft wrote of an Egyptian priest, in one of his stories, named him Clar Kash ton. Interesting that they were about as far away from each other as you could get, and still be in the US. Carmel and the coast south from there, as well as the Monterey area, is very moody, and it's no surprise that Smith lived and wrote there all his life. The two of them never met in person though.

[@sydslantern612]

I also often sleep with Lovecraft playing. Sometimes I find the words and scenes seep through into my dreams, which then become particularly intense and vivid. I've tried different stories but for some reason I get best results using this story and also The Colour Out Of Space and The Whisperer In Darkness. Helps if you eat a lot of aged cheese before going to bed.

[@shanecole979]

Sullivan Sarah but but but we all listened to him not read him

[@Welther47]

I wish Lovecraft had lived longer. Not because there isnt a lot of stories - fans already made plenty of those. Lovecraft was showing signs of repetition. No, I wished he had lived longer to see how his stories or world would have changed. We can now only get imitations of his best work.

[@HECKproductions]

lovecraft was so ahead of his time that he even wrote instructions into his story to operate your casette deck because he knew at some point someone would record them truly one of the writers of all time

[@MrSlaughterrific]

this intro and the Cthulu intro[written by HP himself] contain flashes of complete genius

[@TheRecluseeee]

Lovecraft was a true genius, way ahead of his time. :)

[@gargoyles9999]

No doubt about it Yog-Sothoth got owned in this one. One of your own plans and own offspring getting destroyed by a few puny humans? It's a good thing he's trapped outside the universe then cause if I were it I sure wouldn't want to show my face in there anytime soon. Probably why Cthulhu went back down the R'hlye he was too embarrassed after letting a human ram in with a boat and completely disrupt his physical form. It's like Brock Lesner getting out wrestled by a two year old, it's hard to bounce back from that

[@toprak3479]

Imagine eldritch monsters telling each other stories about humans and being terrified.

[@nowhereman6019]

Yog Sothoth is neutral in all this. The Whateley's were attempting to use Yog Sothoth to open the gate and allow the Old Ones to return, and part of that plan was also to make children of Yog Sothoth who could do this. Yog Sothoth isn't really malevolent in any of these stories, it's just the multiverse personified and occasionally gives random hillbillies kids and opens doors for them.

A really great channel, thank you. Do you know the names of either of the two narrators for the majority of your hp love craft recordings?

[@TheRecluseeee]

Virginia Aravena They are the nameless dwellers of R'lyeh who visited our domain some time ago and left these ominous recordings. But they went back to the dreaming city of the deep. Still, when the stars are right, they will come back.

[@kateking3953]

I first starting reading Lovecraft when I was about 12, and I've never grown out of them a very long time later. Like Edgar Allen Poe he's got a totally distinct style and cadence, and despite the fact that it ought to be over the top, it isn't, it's just really good and manages to capture his imagined world wonderfully.

So true! He was a true master in his craft!

[@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven]

Poe's Eureka is one of the _best_ poems I've ever read, and it is perhaps no coincidence that Lovecraft - who greatly admired him - went on to write in the field of science fiction due to the work's influence.

[@ReyaitheShadowWolf]

gargoyles9999 I can imagine a meeting between the Old Ones, arguing who gets the Earth. XD

[@stalk8r]

Well, Deep Ones serve Cthulhu and Cthulhu is related to Yog-Sothoth. It would probably be like one big annoying family dinner to them.

[@ThanksIhateyoutoo]

Vilkku the deep ones are the servitor race of Dagon, not Cthulhu. The star spawn of Cthulhu (somewhat bearing his likeness, but seldom mentioned in Lovecraft's works) are the Servitor race of Cthulhu. In fact Cthulhu, and Dagon once many eons ago warred for dominance of the earth, and eventually settled that Dagon would have the sea, and Cthulhu would have the land... This is Ironic since his city of Rl'yeh sunk into the sea during the great old ones slumber.

[@guy1087]

+Nicholas Musser The Deep Ones worship both Dagon and Cthulhu (and Hydra). Dagon seems to be their primary deity, given the name of the Innsmouth cult, but they certainly serve Cthulhu as well; in fact, the whole purpose of their human crossbreeding program was to provide some kind of "tribute" to Cthulhu. Maybe some later Mythos authors introduced a strict categorization of "Servitor races" and this war between Dagon and Cthulhu you mention, but there was certainly nothing of the sort mentioned in The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Yog sothoth dreamt all the old gods, reality and cthulu. He sleeps as they wallow in their morbid, knowingly finite existence. For they know the day their true creator will awake.

I grew up in a town called Maynard, and the woods running through my side of town on the other side of the assabet River stretch far into Sudbury. My neighborhood was surrounded by thick woods, despite how busy the town has always been, the woods are eerie. There were multiple people in my area, children and adults, who attest to having seen glowing red eyes in the woods. They wouldn't blink and would sit staring for extended periods of time. The scariest time was having heard a shriek in the woods when the cops were called by my friends mom. I don't think anyone ever seen it, but I know they aren't lying. Massachusetts is home to many old celts and witches who filled from the catholic church back in the day.. only to meet the Christians xD I have a strong belief in things that are elusive, maybe ancient, lurking in our land.

Oh thank god they punched 15 commercials into the shows. It was awful being able to listen to Conrad's voice and superb reading of the tales uninterrupted.

[@Welther47]

Too much dialog in this one. Lovecraft could simply not write dialog, probably because he was such a recluse person.

[@TheRecluseeee]

He certainly was a recluse. :)

This is good, but I find reading a book is always better than an audiobook, because you can go at your own pace and everything seems to make more sense. But that's just my opinion.

[@SaaErDetNok]

I agree, but there are other advantages to audiobooks. I have a job, where I often do not need to listen to or talk to anybody, but I *do* need to use my eyes and hands. I recently took to listening to audiobooks, and the fact that I can now enjoy a variety of literature up to an additional 37 hours a week has me smiling even as I get ready for work on a monday morning. (I am only disappointed that it didn't occur to me until now). Also, I have found that it is sometimes easier to sample literature outside of my normal reading, in audiobook form. I have less patience with a physical book, but in audiobook form I am more willing to take a chance with something, I might otherwise have discarded - there is some value to that, I think.

[@TheRecluseeee]

SaaErDetNok Great point! Yes, ever since I started using audiobooks, I found it much easier way to sample various books. I use various medium for books (printed books, PDF books, Kindle books, audiobooks, etc.) and I find audiobooks to be very useful.

[@MinerXful]

I suppose that is a good point, the ability to sample something. But if the book is from an author I know I like, and I will enjoy (E.G. Lovecraft) I would much prefer a physical copy.

[@TheRecluseeee]

Maximus Lampus Yeah, if I like some audiobook, I'd like to buy a physical book as well. So, paper books are still great for collecting.

[@MinerXful]

Yeah I said this same thing to my mum on the subject of movies and music. Yeah sure I could store my entire collection, and some more, on my iPod, and yeah I could store every movie I've ever watched on my PC. But I would always rather have a physical copy, it has more meaning.

[@TheSarcaster]

Isn't the "w" silent in the word "Dunwich"?

[@iamopm3731]

Why is that?? I've seen people say that but idk if thats true would like to know because I'm making an adaption of this short story

[@ianbruchak9160]

If you're reading this book, you have the perfect voice for horror.

A great tale by old HP...although, and I suppose one maybe shouldn't look to hard into this as its probably just to create an atmosphere with little reason behind it, but what force is behind the whippoorwills? Presumably its not the old ones...otherwise Wilbur would not mind about them 'taking' the soul of old Whately...so is it some other supernatural force? I know its a theme of the story based on traditional new England tales, but it does sort of feel out of place in logic of the story. Also, as Lovecraft mentions 'decayed' branches of the Whatelys, Bishops etc and one of the Whately number remembers gatherings in the stone circles during old Whatelys youth, surely there must be other followers of the old ones in Dunwich in order to perform these ceremonies, so why didn't the Whatelys call on them for help in summoning these things from beyond? Surely they would have wanted the same thing?

[@c.k.dexterhaven675]

That's an interesting part where the grandfather is giving Wilbur his final instructions.. feeding etc and speaking of the old ones wanting to come back. Creepy in a wonderful way.

His fear of inbreeding/miscegenation really shows in this one. His descriptions in this one are great.

[@micaylab1]

Does anyone else use H.P Lovecraft as inspiration for writing their own Horror Stories? I currently do📝📖

[@TheRecluseeee]

That's awesome. Good luck with your writing. Cheers!

[@zacharymathey3901]

I most certainly do!😃

[@Xzeihoranth]

The narrator gets Yog-Sothoth's name right in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, but not here. Weird.
