The Doom That Came to Sarnath

[@unitybonez]

His knowledge was extraordinary. It's hard to imagine how many books he must have read to write these amazing accounts of madness. It's no wonder many consider him an unconcious prophet, as his details of the "recently" discovered megalithic sites, and the connections he makes with ancient Entities, is still unparalleled, and to the student of the ancient Mistery schools is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for all these audio uploads, as as much I love reading, playing them while I lay in bed at night is quite wonderful and relaxing.

[@TheRecluseeee]

My pleasure! And yes, I believe Lovecraft was probably one of the biggest book lovers of all time!

Nick Sothep I would love to study with Mystery School. I want to learn.

[@depausvandelilithkerk5785]

Nick Sothep his parents went mad, he had bad luck in his life and as a racist, he feared the unknown. Also I wouldn't be surprised if he experimented with halucinating drugs. That would explain his unique style of horror writing.

[@brianstump450]

Seems like he just paid attention to the newspapers of the time.

[@ReyaitheShadowWolf]

This has to be one of my all time favorite Lovecraft stories, just because of the great descriptive detail he gave to Sarnath. Lovecraft was a master of horror, sure, but he was also a master of detail. ^^

[@TheRecluseeee]

+ReyaitheShadowWolf True on both accounts (being a master of horror and detail). Cheers!

[@SpaceNavy90]

I actually didn't like the extreme length of detail he put into Sarnath. It felt like he was rambling because ultimately the majority of the detail he included wasn't included in the story. It was enough to describe the city as full of avarice, gluttony and egotistical pride and hate.

Beautiful story. The reader here does Lovecraft great justice. I would not trust my internal dialog to bring these stories to life. Thank you so much for these!

Thanks for listening! Cheers!

Moral of the story: if you destroy beings and things out of fear and hatred and then take over their land, they will have their revenge.

[@TheRecluseeee]

Thanks for listening! Cheers!

[@kingcobrajfssepaboosterclub]

An interesting premise given his current reputation

[@anthonystromeyer1399]

@@kingcobrajfssepaboosterclub, I'm not convinced that Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror contains any intended "morals". Nay, it would seem sanity and survival are the only virtues within this grim and perilous mythos.

[@AgentK83]

That doesn’t happen, just a fantasy to comfort those who got conquered

Well you could save a little time and play the Lovecraft desktop roleplaying game.

[@JordanGoretology]

@@eLJaybud Yeah, but I needed this to give the campaign setting I was trying to create and DM more depth. I we still haven't gotten to that point yet.

[@Gr33nOfGrundleburg]

Aboleth uprising, perhaps?

[@alexandernagel8205]

What’s your idea? I want to hear it =)

[@JH-tk6ge]

3:33 This is like the story of the assyrians vs the medes, if I remember correctly. They took their statues as trophies.

[@liviavaleria1342]

This happened a lot among the Mesopotamians, the Assyrians took the statue of Marduk in Babylon captive, too.

I have heard this tale like n times and still... calling this a fantasy or horror would be an injustice, it crawls into your mind and nestles there like a being from the lake.

[@unxprienced9548]

Can’t wait to listen to this,,, I read the DC comic “The Doom that Came to Gotham” so i’m excited to check out the source material!

YOOO I just looking into that and thought immediately of this book like woohoo more Lovecraftian themed creatures in DC makes me so happy, I hope the movie is good!

Happy 131st birthday, H. P. Lovecraft!

[@yogi2.057]

H.P.'s Sarnath = Modern day Washington, DC. Many empty-suits work and reside there too with flabby lips and pointy ears. Gotta love a writer who goes into such descriptive details.

[@andrewdornan8052]

who disliked this? wtf

[@TheSlenderman]

+Andrew Dornan the ghost of Edger Allen Poe Prolly

[@andrewdornan8052]

+TheSlenderman Quite possible lol, tho that made me think of how cool it would be to put the Lovecraft and Poe in the same room an coauthor a book

[@TheSlenderman]

yeah that would be awsome. i think they would honestly respect eatchother and teach a few things to one another like not to be so racist with horror. and not to be so dark all the time. h.p lovecrafts dream scape stories are truly epic as fuck fantasy books.

[@for.tax.reasons]

The people of Sarnath, duh

[@owenwalker1774]

Maybe it was the ghost of Lovecraft himself. He was known for being hypercritical of his own work. He is a great example of that idea of one being their own worst critic.

[@liviavaleria1342]

So Sarnath is essentially an allegory for Rome and Ib Carthage?
