Respect for reading it as written, hard R and everything.

[@Jason-ng2vf]

This is one that's new to me. Thanks!

[@russellcalvert]

An excellent reading!

[@JillyDoom666]

This makes the thought of that one house fly, living your house just as terrifying for you as it is for the poor insect that's trapped. This suddenly gives me the undying urge to clean my house from top to bottom twice over. Then, for good measure, make sure the windows are entirely insect proof 🤣

[@Juhani139]

Good job reading it as is.

[@Gary-zq3pz]

Lovecraft looked down on everyone who wasn't old New England aristocrats. An asshole, but a brilliant asshole who spun one hell of a yarn. This ghost story kinda bugs me...

[@ArrakisHeir88]

He looked down on everyone who wasn't him or his mom, English included.

JRR Tolkien was born in the city of Bloemfontein, South Africa. The name means flower fountain in Dutch or Afrikaans.

Far from lovecraft's best work.

[@friedricengravy6646]

I would have changed the N word to ‘locals’. No need to repeat ignorance even if it comes from the author.

You censor you if you like. Like the good little pion you are. Leave people alone

[@TheKurtChaney]

Its a story.

[@jamesduffy5980]

Me like Lovecraft. Lovecraft racist. But me no racist. There you don’t have to read any other comments.

[@ArrakisHeir88]

Lovecraft wasn't racist, he hated other English people too He was xenophobic.

[@jamesduffy5980]

@@ArrakisHeir88 He was racist by any reasonable definition of the word. Get over it. I'm sick of every comment section on his stories being centered around how he felt about blacks.

[@ArrakisHeir88]

@@jamesduffy5980 Hr was afraid of everything. He didn't think he was better than everyone. That's a phobia, not just racism.

[@jamesduffy5980]

@@ArrakisHeir88 It's pointless to argue when you don't even know what words mean.

[@xXevilsmilesXx]

​@@jamesduffy5980 clearly context and nuance means nothing. Yours is just a black and white perspective in a complex grey world. Useless.

[@TheKurtChaney]

Must love how you people compared books written 80 or 100 years ago, with todays political bullshit.

[@jonhy8351]

You pulled a racism

[@deborahtrapper7421]

Lovecraft's contemporaries found his racism offensive

[@ArrakisHeir88]

​@@deborahtrapper7421Lovecraft wrote white people as arrogant and stubborn in every story where they encounter nonwhites who give them advice

[@JaneFrieman]

Lovecraft must have been a racist since he looked down upon the Africans. This story was well read by Josh Greenwood.

[@TheKurtChaney]

How was he looking down upon them? I heard some salty words. That's about it. Maybe it is how the africa is the way it is and ... look at life bro

[@JaneFrieman]

@@TheKurtChaney Lovecraft perceived the Africans as subhuman; as would a CLASS SYSTEM would enforce that thought.

[@timmybarry7207]

As sad as it is that’s about par for the time. Not everyone was like that but your talking early to mid 1900’s white man in academia. And keep in mind the time it was written. They were seen as “savage” and I mean. Eugenics came about then

[@JaneFrieman]

@@timmybarry7207 I understand that the prejudice was more obvious then. For instance even Arthur Conan Doyle in one of his Sherlock Holmes stories referred to a Jewish person as a "Jew". Even the composer named Chopin said "Jew". Women were also seen as inferior.

[@deborahtrapper7421]

Lovecraft was exceptionally racist, even for his time. It does make his writing difficult to read.
