What a voice! The best narrator of Lovecraft's work. So fitting.

[@nomansgoddess]

Yeah he's a great reader. I think he reads for Libervox(?) He also read Varney The Vampire. Best on that book too except for Ed French who literally kills it as a horror reader. Look him up!🤓

[@jeremyreagan9085]

As a blind listener I love his voice it is so clear in every sentence! Lovecraft is my favorite horror writer and I wish authors today would write such good tales as these!

[@afterthefiction6302]

I don't mean to pry, but I am curious. Lovecraft's stories typically get their horror from things that are beyond comprehension or impossible to physically define. Does that make the stories particularly accessible to a blind reader/listener?

[@jeremyreagan9085]

@@afterthefiction6302 Yes because we do not have a way to understand the world except through our 4 senses. I should be clear I have limited sight in my right eye but for me hearing is more important then seeing.

I won’t listen to HP without this voice. The guy does reanimator is good too

[@Danthehorse]

Conrad Feininger is his name.

[@RemmySkye]

You guys only say this nonsense because you've never heard war and peace narrated by Gilbert Gotfried.

[@christianradioE5]

Of all the Lovecraft crowd, this narrator ,to me, reads the Nuance and Brilliance of the Authors words...almost as if HP was reading it back to himself..

[@R.I.P.AlienJack]

Fantastic book for imaginative minds! When reading or listening to this you'd serve yourself well to picture it in your minds eye. It's best if you listen to the audiobook or have some read it to you because it allows you to close your eyes and let your imagination paint the pictures for you. Each time you hear the story, the more the pictures get completed with the detail that is given. If your comprehension is quick then you'll have a more accurate look at the picture than most, especially the first time hearing it. My pictures get more complete the more I listen to the story until I can almost paint it....if I could paint lol

[@OoOooowindy]

I can't even tell you the number of times i've listened to this now.

Me too! The whole playlist!

Something about the low-quality almost vintage sound really ads a lot to the atmosphere imo feels like you're listening on an old radio during a thunder storm way back when

[@SwineBrothers]

It kinda does. As it happens, I know where this is from. It's from a tape made by the braille library, and the dubbing to digital was done with a program that tried getting rid of any tape hiss, thus the older sound. The braille library does have a much clearer version of this collection, but this is kinda neat, it feels slightly decayed.

[@SwineBrothers]

I own this collection, thanks to the braille library. I like Conrad Feininger's reading style, it fits Lovecraft's writing.

[@Sudsmaguilicuty]

Never knew the name of this narrator , thanks, just need to find the name of the narrator of the temple now (another HP Lovecraft classic)

[@SwineBrothers]

@@Sudsmaguilicuty That would be Gordon Gould.

As a registered blind listener myself Stephen King and a wonderful tale from the anthology Night Shift called Jerusalem’s lot. This is a prequel to Salem‘s lot. It’s on KZbin. The narrator is Colin Fox who does a outstanding excellent job of reading this fantastic tale. It’s about an hour and 29 minutes long and it is pure perfection. Every nuance syllable is perfect. I can’t remember the name of the channel. But just put into The search box upper right hand corner Jerusalem’s lot and it will come up and I think you will not disagree with my assessment of the Lovecraftian style of writing and the Shakespearean like delivery.

[@SherlockOhms119]

Shawn Pleil channel did that Stephen King tale. Also channel SALEM'S LOT UK

[@AnP865]

If you're blind do you see this reply? I hope so, thanks for the tip.

[@K31JAN]

I don't know why, but the quality of the mic actually makes this better for some reason.

[@ThinkingMoon]

Everyone in the comments explains how well the narrator does. I come back to this recording time after time.

[@AnP865]

This is the way to read it. Formal American accent. Emotionally reserved. Cold. 144p.

The 60s show Dark Shadows did a story arc (very loosely) based on DH. It is called "The Leviathans" if you are interested.

[@DeanCowan]

Brilliantly read, acted and produced, but Lovecraft is, sadly, an acquired taste which so far hasbeen lost on me.

[@oldladyhater]

i don't mean this as a knock against the narrator, but i can't help but feel like some of the monstrous alien-speech is far better left in print than it is spoken aloud. "ygnaiih....ygnaiih..." becoming "nay... nay...." when spoken aloud ... i feel like something is lost in translation a bit.

I have long since grown sick and tired of the mis-pronunciation of the name "Dunwich" by absolutely everybody. It is my pet peeve. This is an English name and it ought to be pronounced in the English manner. Lovecraft was English to the hilt and at his very core. It's "Dunnidge", not "Dunn-Witch". For Greenwich, we don't say "Green-Witch", but Grennidge.

[@ciaranlynch3757]

I agree with everything you wrote other than that he was English. He was American. Pure New England.

[@alneu4436]

@@ciaranlynch3757 Yes, but he strongly identified himself with England. He was an Anglophile. Also his ancestry was predominantly English, and so was everything about him. He felt like an "Outsider" in his place and time, as though he did not belong there, in North America.

[@superal68]

@@alneu4436 No shit his ancestry was English, where did you think Americans come from?

[@alneu4436]

@@superal68 Then why don't they pronounce Dunwich correctly, in the English way, as an English place name, the way it ought to be spoken? I did notice some Africans in America, though. As well as some Latinos. I saw some the other day, and they were categorically NOT of English ancestry.
