You read these stories so perfectly I've stopped reading them. They become more by being conveyed by you dear sir.

That's kind of you to say. :) Ian

[@charlestheiner2833]

Honestly!!!!!!!! I bought four volumes of Lovecraft. I’ve read about six and I’ve opted to listen to the rest instead 😂

[@DocZ82]

Couldn't agree more, absolute perfection.

[@Jay-mp7ir]

I think it's so wild that when, even as a ghost writer, lovecraft manages not at all subtly to put his signature and aspects of his mythos all over these stories.

[@12201185234]

I love the end of this story. The foreigner's explanation at the end was spectacular with its innuendo.

[@Xbalanque84]

Orabona is easily one of Lovecraft's/Heald's most amusing characters. And if what Rogers said is true, he may have destroyed one of the key components for Cthulhu's return.

[@maxredjasper55]

Randolph Carter and Orabona are my favorite mortal characters of Lovecraft. Orabona is especially well written.

[@TitenSxull]

Of all the audio versions of this I keep coming back to this one. It's my favorite Lovecraft story but because of being ghost written I rarely see it, even in "Complete" editions. Lovecraft takes the very basic premise of "guy is dared to stay in a wax museum overnight" and creates a genuinely unsettling story of nameless horror nestled neatly within his own mythos.

I like these collaborations of Lovecraft with Hazel Heald. I think that working with her toned down some of his stylistic tics. I had no idea she had a hand in “Out of the Aeons”.

I actually got scared for a minute. There's a huge desert windstorm going on outside tonight while I listened.

It really helps when there's some unnerving music in the background. Not that Ians voice isn't suitable by himself for the role he plays in Horror stories.

[@hawksm2783]

I agree. The music played in this one and others really amplifies the creepiness.

[@joeyst-pierre6139]

One of the most interesting stories by HP Lovecraft, I feel this would be a very nice film adaptation, only a few props necessary.

[@maxredjasper55]

This would make an amazing movie. I love Orobana! He freaking killed a lovecraftian monster and made into a wax piece. I wish there were more stories on him.

[@ryleeguy2763]

@@maxredjasper55 right, it would lighten that whole rase issue too that ppl make out about lovecraft. I mean he has two white educated guys come out as crazy or ignorant. Bona is smart, classy, brave, and best of all for these stories foreboding. He should be played by Lance Reddick.

[@joeyst-pierre6139]

@Pornhub XHamster I mean not as a massive block buster type hit, but as a small lowbudget movie, it could be possible, you need 3 scenes, a "museum" (just a gallery space), a weird hole (easy to set up) and a street to run away. I think the most expensive thing would be to set up all the pieces of art necessary to give the museum its feel. "the color out of space" was reimagine and I'll be honest, it's a pretty great movie

[@Kropothead]

@Vampiric Academia 1 I’m pretty far left, and I’m a massive Lovecraft fan. The guy’s profound racism doesn’t diminish his contributions to the artistic medium. Also, he was taking a strong interest in socialism and easing up on the weird reactionary bullshit shortly before his untimely death. I know tons of left wingers who are Lovecraft fans. Hbomberguy did an excellent video on it.

[@Xbalanque84]

Been waiting for this one for so long, you have no idea.

[@willmistretta]

Honestly, it was silly to have Rogers be revealed as so wildly unhinged so early. He's ranting about sacrificing things to his new god while showing off a horribly mutilated dog carcasses and speaking ominously about worse things to happen soon, yet Jones is somehow just totally cool with the whole "stay overnight at the museum" plan? It's absurd.

Great story ....but the narrator. Makes it insidious. Top notch governer

[@GáborCzéh]

I haven't really thought about this before but Lovecraft rarely wrote any dialogue, everyone usually monologues at the narrator or they have a summary description of what was said. It's actually weird hearing a full blown (albeit short) discussion. 😅 Is this part of his style or a style of the age he lived in?

[@adampackard3561]

[@JoshuaBlach]

It's become my regular ritual to fall asleep to Lovecraft read by Ian I'm now working on a horror comedy story about a small redneck town in Louisiana where people take refuge in a S-Mart when a hurricane brings in an invasion of aquatic Dagon creatures (I felt zombies were too played out) the hero is a geek who grew up reading Lovecraft and watching horror movies. Imagine all the white trash (sorry) type of people notorious of being in a Walmart living in thee store trying to survive.

[@afterschok6627]

[@Replicaate]

Orobona is a badass seldom seen in the HPL literary universe - unfathomable ancient terror from beyond the stars? No big deal, feed your jerk boss to it, shoot it dead and make an art piece out of the remains. I wonder if the museum from "Out of the Aeons" is hiring, he could do great work for them...
