The Dark Brotherhood

The Dark Brotherhood, H. P. Lovecraft and August Derleth, Horror Audiobook

[@theonlyanvil]

Conrad Fineger is the reader of these stories and his voice is perfectly suited to this task.

[@amazinghayes1]

He's both distant and unnerving. Fantastic and made for this.

[@davemaier68]

Agreed. Conrad Feininger

[@davemaier68]

These are from old audio cassette tapes. If you are old enough to remember, they would degrade over time and audio from the other side of the tape would bleed thru.

[@wooster84]

This guy should totally do CreepyPastas

[@ValosarX]

wooster84 HP Lovecraft is the original creepy pasta. I wonder how many people read his work and thought it was real

[@ishtarian]

Just a correction: This is NOT by H.P. Lovecraft, but rather one of August Derleth's pieces, based on an entry in HPL's Commonplace Book, and has been, unfortunately, published as a "posthumous collaboration" ever since. The reading itself, however, is quite well done...

[@user_J117]

I love how August Derleth made HP the main character in this story.. that was nice of him.

[@jamessimmons8657]

What does "Hail sithis" mean? What is that?

[@JC-wv9ss]

It's from the Elder Scrolls, its what the Dark Brotherhood says, they're a guild of assassins

[@MalcolmBrenner]

It has been suggested by others here that this story was actually written solely by Lovecraft's devoted fan, August Derleth. I think this is true, because it has a female character in it who is given a few lines of dialogue, exerts an independent action and actually has slightly more substance than construction paper.

[@Sudrabainsv2]

That ending though. Chills everytime!

[@kateking3953]

Thanks so much for posting these HPL stories. I'm hooked now, and working through the lot. He is such a good writer, and his created world is like Middle Earth, complete to itself. I don't really think he's got any competition from modern writers.

Check out "the temple" by hp lovecraft.. Soo good!!!

[@Jeffrey314159]

Lovecraft obviously did not write this. Though he was a fan of Poe, would he constantly reiterrate his name in a story or make Poe's name that of the antagonist?

[@yogi2.057]

Great to hear Conrad read this one aloud too. Not everyone can express that spooky tone to H.P tales.

[@TheRecluseeee]

Thanks for listening! Cheers!

[@tomChristina143]

Is this even HP

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

@@tomChristina143 No its August Derleth written with notes from the man himself.

[@zunipus]

There are many of these posthumous, beyond the grave collaborations. August Derleth's were the most notorious. And yet, Derleth was the prime conjuror of Lovecraft's reanimation, allowing the master's dark writings to be well known to us in the neoteric age. Some of these necrophillious works are laudable! Many are tragic, and not in the felicific sense. I recommend reconnoitering this columbarium with a modicum of monition.

[@TheRecluseeee]

Yes, August Derleth deserves some praise. And I'm thankful for August Derleth and all the others who have carried the tradition of Cthulhu mythos.

[@Bruva_Ayamhyt]

Are you making fun of Lovecraft's linguistic style or do you actually speak like that?

[@zunipus]

***** Are you criticizing the way I actually speak? Or are you criticizing the way I imitate how Lovecraft wrote? A consuming quandary. ;-)

[@Bruva_Ayamhyt]

Neither. I find the linguistic style of Lovecraft to be very interesting, albeit disconcerting at times. It's just that your style of speech in your original comment almost seemed to exaggerate certain elements of his verbal flow and deviate from the "norm" of casual English speech. I definitely didn't mean it as an insult. tl;dr: I find the way you (and Lovecraft) write to be weird but cool.

[@zunipus]

I was amusing myself and hopefully others.

I sincerely doubt that HPL was the first author to take advantage of the _Shared Universe,_ but he's still among the Best ever to utilize it. I'm sure long-time readers will recognize allusions to the Great Race of Yith as mentioned in _The Shadow Out of Time._

This book is a major inspiration for Dream Gods.. Audiobook on you rune

[@shaolinwisdom]

Never read this one, but I was pleasantly bewildered and creeped out. Probably because I'd recently watched a certain Donald Sutherland film that had a similar plot. Also this story surprised me art every turn, not what I expected as all.

[@andydensmore5293]

Plus can you please tell me when you will download four of the ghost stories of dorathy Gladys spicer and the book of poems of magic and spells

[@TurinInquisitor]

creeped out? these stories are terribly dull.

[@Jeffrey314159]

shaolinwisdomThe movie with Sutherland you are thinking of is PUPPETMASTERS from 1994, based on the 1950s novel of the same name by Robert Heinlein, and no, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is not based on Heinlein's work. And it is is not based on this work here either. I think you are all giving Lovecraft a little too much credit.

[@dercorpseidjit]

Actually Donald Sutherland was in the 70's version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers,as well as the Puppet Masters.

[@eyokirvideos7400]

Was this written before or after the Shadow out of time? As the Yith here seem to operate very differently then the ones in the primary story.

[@JoaoSantos-lv4rc]

Hypothesis: Poes' characters are often the ones in contact (led to kill or torture) but Lovecraft's characters are always 3d party observers, is the Alien's choice of body even more telling than the referencex)? -ref: was listening to Black Cat - Poe.

[@crystalalarm3]

The yeth the cone dudes are the least antagonistic of the elder races, more explorers of time than invaders. Their only real screwup was creating the shoggoth, but they took care of the star heads and the energy eaters so its a bit of a wash they even helped keep the octopoid men from taking over earth so they were still better than the migo

[@pawpawno1]

Makes you think about climate change and the destruction of earth's environment. I mean could they be ways of altering our world to make them more inhabitable for alien life?

[@ThanksIhateyoutoo]

David Morin she was the fake. Remember how they said "most" of the flesh the police found was not human? Rose Derleth died in the fire, and the alien Rose that Arthur saved by accident, killed Arthur to cover their tracks. So the alien conspiracy in that area, was nearly foiled. Nearly, but not quite.
