If you think about it, it's funny that people criticize Lovecraft (among other things, that actually deserve criticism) for calling everything "indescribable" and "being too lazy to describe something", when in his best stories he indeed tries to describe the monstrosities. The fact that he starts by calling something "indescribable" and still tries, just shows how hollow the effort of describing the monster is imo.

@Cody Ingram That's the thing - I heard both "arguments", sometimes from the same person. "He uses too much adjectives, he uses whole pages to describe one little thing." And yet people *also* say, "he's being lazy by calling everything "indescribable"." Shows how much they actually read his stories.

@Cody Ingram I actually have read the story you mentioned, but it's been a while since then. My mind jumps to the message of the story whenever I hear these arguments and I agree that it was very likely his excessive use of adjectives was intentionally. (what good is an author that doesn't use certain words on purpose?) I should read it again, this time in english. (I'm not a native speaker) I'm interested if his stories maybe were "dumbed down" when they were translated into my native language because I never really had much trouble understanding the words he used. (most of the time at least)

Over the body of his work, I'm also impressed with how Randolph Carter develops. In "The Statement of Randolph Carter" he's considered by the somewhat more knowledgeable Harley Warren to be reliable enough to stay on the surface and receive reports, but definitely not able to come down into the crypt. By "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" Carter has become as skilled and ruthless as any villain in the stories.

Or, with a different presentation, the start to a fun Sci-Fi adventure. Which is fairly common with Lovecraft's stuff. Happens when a good author is also really, really, really racist. EDIT: Actually, I suppose it's not entirely fair. A big part of it is that some of the big cornerstones of Cosmic Horror are things that some outlooks won't find scary- for people like Carl Sagan, there is no horror in finding out that humanity is insignificant, because the ego of humanity is replaced with the wonder of the universe, what Transcendentalists called 'The Sublime.' In stories like this, however, the horror may be hinged on the fear of all that space and time, the intellectual equivalent of the gut feeling when you look at the stars and almost think you'll fall up into them. Perhaps, that's part of the enduring appeal- the things Cosmic Horror deals with are things that are at once frightening, yet also fascinating. We want to know more about the terrors because they are constructed from the ideas we are most curious about. Because while fear of the unknown is the most primal, humanity is also defined by the quest to discover it.

Was listening to this in bed with my eyes closed, fully immersed. A soothing voice telling a twisted tale, painting pictures in my mind, that was racing as it perfectly detailed every written word from paper to a hand painted effigy of indescribable madness. When suddenly, after wandering for a few minutes, a grotesque voice called to me from the depths of my awareness and brought with it a booming bass in the sounds it muttered, shakeing my mind to the very core and leaving my body in a state of cold sweat, unnerving and demanding, as i could only recognize it as something that i have known for my whole life, yet unfamilliar in a sense of trying to escape it's cold dark clutches that would haunt my present state of being forever. While it slowly swallows, into the darkness, all the beloved memories i made trough the years and held so dear to my heart. The voice grew louder, waking me from my slumbering state with the one final incantation; "DISNEY PLUS!"

@@MrRaisinBran His xenophobia was definitely reflected in his works, but at the same time he shows such a curiosity for the dark mysteries of the world. It seems like he warns against curiosity and experiencing other cultures, yet it's that same curiosity that made him write. I think you might be right, he likely did regret his lifestyle choices and may have wished to be better. I remember reading that he was apparently maturing with his views by the end of his life, and had he lived longer maybe his extreme racism might lessened with age, though that's likely giving him a bit too much credit.
@arempy5836

Well, like in the story, curiosity and fear fight for dominance in the mind. Curiosity wins out for his characters while fear conquered the author himself. He had many aspirations as a boy but his own anxiety and lack of self worth had him give up on much of it. Even as a writer he heavily undervalued his work contributing to his poverty and obscurity. It makes sense that a man who even as a young child was considered monsterous and sickly by his own mother and cloistered away in his grandfather's library, would have such a terrible fear of the outside while also being drawn to it through the stories he read. Of course, fear and hate are so often entwined. Much of what we hate in others is really what hate in ourselves. Our shadow. The overarching trait in much of his prejudice is about corruption and degeneracy. For Lovecraft, there are high cultures which are honorable (England, Rome, Egypt etc) and then you have the savage cultures (african Americans, native Americans, Eurasian immigrants). I believe this fear of degeneration comes from his own life. His father contracted syphilis and died in an asylum when he was but a boy. His family's money was lost after his grandfather died. His mothergoes mad and dies in the same asylum as his father. And again, his mother always described him as a little monster. His very body was made degenerate by his mother's words. No wonder so many of his protagonists go insane or find some horrific truth about their ancestory. Hell, when the man found out he was part Welsh he was distraught. I think he had an ever present fear of ruin and entropy.

@@salomaogomes7311 The horrors he describes are more about the unknowns of the world rather than some manifestation of his xenophobia. The Call of Cthullu is a good example of this. When he was writing, science was just starting to really come into public eye. He basically says that science is gaining so much info in all different subjects that seem to be intertwined and that we will either go mad from learning the truths of the universe or want to go back to a dark age out of fear of what we learn. Also, later in life, he said he expressed regret for his racist/xenophopic ideas.

Honestly, that's the kind of direction I want to see in a game like Tomb Raider or Uncharted. Have it start out like an Uncharted/Tomb Raider game, only for things to get particularly eldritch as the explorer descends further and further into the forbidden city, at which point both the narrative and the mechanics lean closer to Amnesia or Penumbra. The adventurer could still kinda defend themselves, but the resources have gotten so scarce that they start relying on stealth to avoid costly clashes with the unspeakable inhabitants of these places, and where attempts at stealth fail during moments of overconfidence, they start relying on improvised weaponry rather than wasting precious bullets. And that would only be the first of the ruined abysses. For in the adventurer's descent, they would find no way back to the world above, but at the very bottom of that first abyss, they would find an unnatural aperture of massive gnarled roots, with a rippling curtain of light within. With no way back, and the only way out being through, the adventurer would, through the player's own intrigue, step through the gateway to another world, and behold the shattered husk of a cyclopean star-scraping redwood. What mad miracle is this? This incalculably massive tree. Its carcass towers beyond the sight of mortal eyes, neither top nor bottom visible in the void. ...yet sundered as it is, its roots still burrow into the Worlds Beyond. And now, with nothing left to lose, the adventurer sets forth to explore whatever worlds they can reach, in the vain hopes of finding a way home. Or, failing that, a world that would accept them as they are.

This was a wonderfully presented story. Further, the images included in this presentation were totally on point. They made the story so much more real.

Great job! Can't wait for more Lovecraft stories! The only thing I'd like to add would be to have a slightly slower pace and some pauses to give us time to appreciate the descriptions.

LOVE STORIES LIKE THIS They're so enthralling and enchanting. They make me think about what possibly distant and glorious portions history were completely lost to time in the untouchably vast epochs of endless history. Events so distant and amazing that we would only believe them in dreams.

What is Penny University? In the 18 century, England established popular coffee houses where instead of paying for drinks, all one had to do was pay a penny to enter. Once they’ve entered, they had access to a great atmosphere, coffee and discussion. For only a penny to pay, virtually everyone could afford to enter. It was a place where people shared their thoughts and ideas. It quickly became a breeding ground for conversation, no matter the social and economic status. Everyone was welcome. I welcome you to Penny University Podcast.
