You know you're reading an H.P. Lovecraft story when you suddenly realize you're 15+ pages deep into pure architectural descriptions.

[@RandomPerson-nd2ey]

You can tell it's George R.R. Martin if you just read pages about the food. It's so prevalent, people have made cookbooks based on the meals explained in his books.

@Alexander Asher haha thats only joking, maybe just a few pages 😄

I love the Poe shout-out towards the end - Roderick Usher, of the Fall of the House of Usher. No doubt that Lovecraft greatly admired that tale from the master Poe.

Never bothered with lovecraft work before. But have been fascinated by the SCP universe which takes a lot of inspiration from lovecraft, however can safely say after listening for 10 minutes I’m loving this! How has it taken me so long to give this a chance

[@anonamously5858]

I've read a ton of it and there are a lot of good ones. Horror babble here on KZbin have done quite a few of them. Just look out for racisms if you're sensitive to that sort of stuff. Especially stories like rats in the wall.

[@johnnygreenface4195]

@@anonamously5858 and in herbert west. The racism picks up at a shocking rate. It goes from none to super in under 10 paragraphs. Taljs bad about women, black people, and Italians. Then a bit later it goes again

[@HentiaSupreme]

Thank you for the suggestions and I’ll be sure to look out for that kind of stuff but truth be told I’m English so I can’t be offended by a lot of that, don’t agree with it but certainly won’t put me off a good horror story

[@ddravern3154]

It was the latest blow up of Cuhthulu what couple of year now that got attention as I do love a good book.. I chose to listen to this audio book because I've been listening/watching scp storytelling 😁 🙏

[@misszee007]

Me too I never listened to the lovecraft stories, just went to the scp’s. However the other night I woke up to Dunwich horror and the description of Lavinia the albino and her goat child I’ve been catching up the past few days😅

[@astraeanova4280]

Fantastic reading of a Lovecraft tale most excellent. When I first read this story it really terrified me and it terrifies me again with your telling of it. Thank you for bringing this tale to life for me

[@khaorix2667]

I love how archaic Lovecraft's English was. It's giving it a very particular flavor. Or, shall I say, It does provide a most peculiar mystique.

[@ReplicatorFifth]

Lovecraft was a massive fan of Poe. You can see he adopted Poe’s language for his stories

[@KrazeePlays]

Isn't proper grammar glorious?

[@drexel3987]

Honestly I think his language is one of the reasons that his works weren't as popular during his own lifetime? Having read many classics from the era, people just didn't talk/write like that anymore. I think it made his characters feel less realistic to his audience at the time. I mean, imagine if someone wrote a book where people talked in mid Atlantic way reminiscent of the 1960s but it takes place in modern day. It'd be weird, right?

That story has been done to death. Give him a real challenge, “The Mountains of Madness”.
