Khalk'ru: The Book of Khalk'ru by Abraham Merritt | Cthulhu Mythos

Khalk'ru is a fictional extra-dimensional creature created by Abraham Merritt for his novel Dwellers in the Mirage.
This dark octopoid horror is worshiped as a god by the Uighur people who inhabit the Gobi Desert, and whose ancestors migrated to both Europe (giving rise to the Norse people and their legends of the Kraken) and to Alaska, where they settled within a hidden warm valley, unknown to the outside world.
ST Joshi in HP Lovecraft Encyclopedia, suggests that Khalk'ru, as an extra-dimensional octopus demon, may be an analogue to Cthulhu.

Once again, Thank You for digging up these almost forgotten Tales and letting them get the exposure NOW that they never got them!

[@benwrigley6176]

really good story 👏

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gemfyre3444]

This is a good one!

[@thehorrorist3471]

Nice to hear a Merritt story thats not People of the Pit. Keep 'em coming and this text to speech voice is much more listenable than others you've used. Keep this one!

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

Thanks for listening

[@ZacHalls]

I like this voice module as well.

[@NicoBleackley]

Kinda feels like the first half is written by a different person. Cool story though! Also still hate the use of ai

[@LordJordanXVII]

Anyone know a channel where a reading of this book can be listened to?

[@chrismc3744]

What an excellent story. Thanks for finding and sharing.

[@user-kj4cu3go2h]

I remember reading the paperbacks mu grandfather kept. It's where i got my love of Lovercraft, Vance and others. Thank you for the story, I'm off to see if i can find a copy in a used book store

[@colincaryk5079]

well done!!

[@jeffreygabbard6192]

Excellent reading, thanks!

[@motherfoca1000]

This shit is ai

[@Arwcwb]

I hope you'll post the other books! This is excellent!

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

I will release them over next 10 days

[@kgrunenwald]

I like where this is progressing

[@BloingDidoing]

Great! I did not know that one!

[@HArryvajonas]

Is it just me, or is the audio randomly skipping? To the point I can't listen any longer. Otherwise, it is great.

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

Can you bookmark a certain skipping

[@HArryvajonas]

@cosmicandbodyhorror It is happening throughout the whole thing. I started listening yesterday and again today. Same problem. Sounds like skipping on a Cd. As if it is skipping several words at a time. Otherwise, it is a great reading and story.

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

I will certainly check this and fix it in the complete version

[@edwardspencer3906]

Right.. occasional sounds like it's in a blender... keep losing track of the story!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

W00t! A long one, nice! Abraham Merritt is a pretty good author. I've read two of his short stories, but had no idea he wrote a mythos tale. I shall digest this one during my mandatory insomnia tonight. Thank you, CABH!

[@zlmat]

This is a best voice that the other

[@estebanperez2557]

Sounds like Ai, couldn't last more than 2 minutes.

[@randallbesch2424]

@@estebanperez2557 why is A.I. now the go to for voices? I'd say you don't know at all.

[@randallbesch2424]

Now why is A.I. the go to blame for voices by the complainants?

[@estebanperez2557]

@@randallbesch2424 because it's quite obvious. The blatant mispronouncing of words and monotonous give it away

[@gemfyre3444]

Is there more of this?

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

Yes, 3 more books

[@gemfyre3444]

@@cosmicandbodyhorror 3 more that follow Leif?! Oh hell yeah. I may wind up having to hit up the local used bookstores over this lol

We do use all our brain we just understand 10% of it.

[@MysticUnity]

If you look at people's brain activity on mushrooms or lsd vs normal brains you will understand brain connectivity and percentage better.

[@Austrian_blood]

Wonderful story, but how did we get from the Gobi to the Yukon? Did I miss something? TIA.

[@cosmicandbodyhorror]

At what time does this occur?

[@Austrian_blood]

Is this two stories?

[@mUtH4Fr3AkEr]

Gobi and Sahara are just examples of what we dont remember

[@HolographicMagick]

Excellent story. A bit much bass in the vocals though.

[@troutwardbound]

and countless skips and jumps. Good story but those aspects really took me out of it.

[@randallbesch2424]

Oxygen narcosis if you are exposed to a much higher content. Like going from 21% to 32%.

Akashic records holds every human who has lived and died some 109 billion. First person experiences so any who taps into it would see it as their life not another's.
