[@user-hu3iy9gz5j]

A sentence does not get more Lovecraftian than this: "My feet slipped utterly and I found myself involved in a mangling avalanche of sliding masonry whose canon loud uproar split the black cavern air in a deafening series of earth-shaking reverberations"

[@davidriddell5294]

Silly pants...stop it...😮😊

[@tkc1129]

Of course it can. That sentence doesn't say "cyclopian" even once!

[@witchwaist]

in more common vernacular, "dumbass upsets the ancient ruins. it was very loud"

[@davidriddell5294]

@@witchwaist you win the day!!

[@deseosuho]

that's eldritch af

[@jimboslam]

This is a very special story to me. When i was in the Army, on holiday leave I would drive back to my hometown to see friends and family. The drive was just under 4 hours and I would always put on a audio book. This one was hands down the most captivating and I listened to it several times on those drives and it never got old. I know a lot of people nowadays criticize H.P. Lovecraft for his overly specific and repetitive descriptions, I feel this story in particular he is at his absolute best and to hear it now in TES voice and measured story reading cadence is incredible. Thank you!

[@Darkflo23]

My favorite Lovecraft story alongside Mountains of Madness, and also a sad reminder of how his work was evolving from short stories full of xenophoby to more long from adventure horror stories, it make me angry that he died so young, as if these last stories are anything to go bye, he was truly hitting his stride.

[@jimboslam]

Nathaniel coming to and seemingly continuing on with his lecture he was giving when he lost control of his mind was such a cool touch for me when I first listened to this book years ago.

[@godisfake78]

I always thought The Shadow Out Of Time was a great companion piece to The Mountains of Madness. Thanks for uploading! Perhaps the next one could be the dream-quest of unknown kadath!!!

[@Marqhll]

I love your HP Lovecraft Audiobooks! Great stuff!

[@KoraktheMad]

Thanks for doing this one, it's my favorite Lovecraft story. The Great Race of Yith seem like the most benevolent race in the Mythos. They are archivists, they just want to learn as much as they can. Yes, they switch minds with other entities but are kind to the swapped mind. The ensure that the swapped mind isn't a threat to them or the original owners body. They put in mental blocks to make sure that when the body's owner returns that any information that could be used negatively to affect the future can't be accessed by the swapped mind.

[@nicholasbrodeur2340]

Fantastic as always. Here’s hoping for a reading of The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath next 🤞

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

agreed, that'll be like four awesome two-hour vids.

[@Tasarran]

I'd like to hear 'The Silver Key' and the sequel...

[@RestmorDread]

Ah yes, my first Lovecraft book, what a marvelous way to enter to this great world full of eldritch horror. I still conserving my physical copy of this story, such a good memory.

[@thaumaturgeslit7759]

Just re-listened to your shadow over Innsmouth reading, so I am excited for another reading!

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

That's one of the best ones he's done, yeah.

[@chaoticpuncher8756]

These audiobooks are always a treat. I’ve gone back and listens to At the Mountains of Madness and Shadow over Insmouth 3 times each at least. I’ll add this to the playlist.

[@Dopeymanthing]

You and me both my friend. I own the necronomicon but have only ever read dagon because it took like 30 mins. These audiobooks are perfect for me.

[@zapan9643]

The Exploring Series' At the Mountains of Madness is truly the best audiobook for me.

[@jakeowen2623]

I think this is my favorite of his stories, and I’ve stopped around 40 minutes in to make this claim. Completely enthralling stuff, one of the creepiest premises I’ve ever heard explored. Fella was so far ahead of his time it never ceases to amaze me

[@ericbarber3420]

Now i’m waiting if a third book is going to fight for favourite spot from dunwich or innsmouth

[@arcana8035]

We are making it to dreamland with this one 💪💪💪💪

[@richter6699]

Love this stuff! Theres something weirdly comforting about the old timey way Lovecraft writes, despite his subject matter obviously being anything but comforting lol.

[@Fulgrim2]

Ah good, something to enjoy during work tomorrow.

[@nannesoar]

YES This is by far my favorite HP Lovecraft story!

[@Sharing13]

Enjoying my weed gummies and h.p. Lovecraft! Happy Saturday

[@5oClockShadows]

whenever H.P. Lovecraft is a topic I will suggest this story. I only read it 3 or 5 times but it is my favorite.

[@coughsyrup7865]

Thank you for making my mondays more bearable. Love all your videos!

[@WilcoBrands]

Ahhh yes. Love me some exploring series to fall asleep at night... can't wait to listen to this for a week trying to remember where I left off when I pass out

[@Ahuratum]

Oh man, asked if you would do this on Twitter some time back and you said it was possible. Finding this today made my day! Thank you!

[@hectorlozano3354]

One of my favorite Lovecraft stories read by one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@45proteinconsumer]

time to fall asleep to cosmic horrors beyond human comprehension

[@rustys.1070]

So original

[@krissyr3393]

Nice reading, narrator keeps a solid tempo throughout and doesn't rush thru the story.

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Doing all the hits! I love this one; looking forward to listening several times. If you’re considering requests I’d love to hear The Mound from you

[@diewildemathilde4432]

Thank you so much for all the content you put out! One of the best channels on KZbin, especially if you have long commutes or solitary work to do!

[@dustingar7723]

Gotta watch all the ads to support my favorite reading channel out there. Great vid as always

[@lucajo16]

Thank god for something other then my usual content to pass out by.

[@LetsTalkAboutPrepping]

This is offiially my favorite lovecraft tale. Its just inspired me with a story idea thatll let me combine a few things i want to write, and might actually get me to write again after.... 16 years i think

[@crimestick6648]

I love it when you do Lovecraft!!!

[@sirlemonthe1st]

an hour early???? by jove what a treat!

[@possumwithacowboyhat5140]

A three hour video? While I have four hours of work left? Let’s GO.

[@spicyladjr3650]

I fully intend to listen to this. The wonderful thing about this channel is how relaxing it is, even while discussing terrifying things. I imagine I'm not alone in that I avoid listening to your stuff for a while so that when I finally get a night to relax, I can just binge your work. We owe many quiet and relaxed nights to your channel, thanks for the great work.

[@dr.robotnik3684]

Another 3 hour plus lovecraft video, we eating good tonight!

[@kakanhejsan]

Love these Lovecraft storys!!! your channel is so awsome thx for all you do!!🔥🔥🔥

[@Wizyord]

Another spectacular reading by our boy @TheExploringSeries

[@themightymcb7310]

Would love to hear you read The Thing On The Doorstep some time! Kind of a tangential story in the mythos, but a great one. It's also pretty related to this story since they both revolve around body-snatching.

[@ThePigKnight]

“Although they tweet I killed my friend, while I emptied my blicky into his body, I am not his killer.”

[@rofflesvanwagon]

A phenomenal story!

[@Second-Hand-Shadow]

It always makes my week when I see a new The Exploring Series video. Keep up the great work!

[@mikarri7199]

“I’m the most normal a human can be and am not crazy - nor is anyone in my family.” Me: uh huh… “My wife left me after something happened beyond my control .” Me: what? that’s terrible! Maybe I was wrong. I’ll give him a chance. “After reading the Necronomicon-“ Me: ….I regret giving him a chance.

[@ArrakisHeir88]

My favorite behind AtMoM. Thanks so much for your work, as always!

[@muramasasedge5443]

Im so glad youre still dropping these. I play them every night now. Been waiting for this one too.

[@callummcgilvray4946]

My week has been made

[@lavasharkandboygirl9716]

I was literally *just* looking for a new audiobook!

[@DrMrNikolaMax]

Oh, you treat us so good!

[@Parzivle]

I’ve listened to this one to sleep so many times youtube starts recommending it to me around the same time every day

[@monday5412]

Your audiobooks are the best

[@chadsknnr]

I was waiting for this one, Mangg! This is one of my top 5 Lovecraft stories . . . .

[@mariovillarreal8647]

Yes! Thank you for this Audiobook and All your hard work and effort. Great narration!

[@otakusenpai6038]

Such has it been that the morning drive hath been quite the bop thus far. Thank you very much for the content.

[@LewisB3217]

Love these Lovecraft readings, Ty 💯

[@swami_young8238]

These late night uploads when I can’t sleep, then see a notification for this channel, fuck I get so hyped because I know I’ll sleep so good for the next 4-5 nights it’ll take me to actually get through the whole video. Thank you Explorer.

[@threeinone4748]

My most anticipated reading other than his cats name, good job!

[@zacharycha4791]

Amazing. Always enjoy your Lovecraft readings.

[@goitcore]

I was relistening to your version of Dunwich yesterday, and thinking how much I wanted you to do this. YAY!

[@westongaddis8767]

Holy shit did i ever need this one. Been a long week my friends. Ya boi is going to dream land.

[@blackbird7620]

Love your bedtimes stories dude

[@jabix1]

Uploaded right when I needed to sleep

[@prestonmorris3773]

love these audio books so much

[@word360]

I've been binging your Lovecraft readings for the past few months (been sick) and I regret not checking them out sooner. you have the perfect reading/narrator voice and you put such emphasis on the motions. Also, I'm noticing a trend with some of Lovecraft's works. The protagonist ALMOST brings back artifacts of proof of these fantastical discoveries, only to drop or otherwise lose it, so the outside world dismisses them as a madman and they're none the wiser.

[@josephmama6212]

love your audiobooks man.

[@MrMacavity]

Great work as always 👍

[@DanielSan1776]

*OH BOY! IT’S...2AM!!??*

[@user-kn9gl9dt6l]

[@matthewpool6508]

This is amazing work, really appreciate it.

[@czcrossman]

One of my favorites! Thanks for doing this one 😊

[@misterswan3131]

Of all your content this is by far the greatest in my humblest opinion I appreciate you sharing your skills much love

[@Eglovecraft]

I just want to say that I utterly love all of your content. You’ve become this sort of mental safe haven for me. When I want to forgot the world and drift off to some far away land.. I come to you. Please keep up the amazing work.. I wouldn’t mind hearing you get into Alien and Predator lore also.

[@BRAV-lm6xk]

The good thing about listening to Lovecraft is that if I fall asleep, he will still be going on about exactly the same thing when I wake up. I wont miss anything

[@demonic477]

Oh yes thank you for this I can't get enough Lovecraft

[@tkc1129]

Might be my favorite Lovecraft story I have heard a reading of so far.

[@casard5235]

Still a great story. Fell asleep listening to this which may explain some of the dream sequences. A wonderful narration. Thanks.

[@Renegadebane]

Guess I'll lay in the dark for 3 hours until the next video starts and I can sleep.

[@TheBearInTheChair]

Slept with the lights on for a month when I finally got around to Lovecraft

[@tedytarrify]

Good narration! Enjoyed it immensely.

[@maxmatson1578]

Finally! My favorite Lovecraft story.. thank you for this one 👍🙏✌️

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

Thank you so much for these!

[@scottlambert499]

Omg yessss dude thanks so much for your amazing content you’re the best!

[@Star_Skiing_Starskski]

Well read! Thanks for the post!

[@eldkniver]

this was always one of my favorites

[@brucerobertson7839]

Excellent performance, thank you.

[@davidblanton5407]

Thanks for the audio book

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

Ah, i missed one detail on previous readings of this tale; when Nate here tells the reader to look for his son, "Professor Wingate Peaslee", I always figured that Wingate was Nate's middle name and the son's first name. But hearing the name of Nate's parents, this is one of those aristocratic families where they use two last names, as with Asenath Waite Derby, who is both a Derby and a Waite. So the son is "Professor Wingate-Peaslee", despite not writing the hyphen, and he has some first name that we never learn (I will headcanon that it's George, and that he's embarassed by it, not wanting his friends to think of him as some dragon-slaying crusader).

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

And then, like ten seconds after I paused to write all that, the story does explicitly confirm that Wingate is indeed a first name. So maybe HP just made an error in his genealogy here, or the boy was named after his mother's maiden name, which is kind of a cruel thing to do to a boy.

[@micahraney732]

Just when I desperately needed something to distract me and get me to sleep... Bless you.

[@poontang8895]

Absolutely excellent T,E,S , thankyou 😊

[@mr.inhuman7932]

I'm lookig forward to this.

[@RichbUKDE]

The coordinates of the stones are in the Gibson desert. South of the Nullagine river and with a Telfer WA 6762 postcode :) Amazing the accuracy of Howards research.

[@crowvii]

I love your narration - I'd listen to you read anything

[@TheBearInTheChair]

Wtf, you posted early?!?! Keeping us on out toes now, are you? I like it

[@noohumbraveheart5912]

I love these!

[@spedrun]

I like that this one kinda subverts normal lovecraft stuff by making the first alien race presented not the enemy, but rather an ally

[@thetravelingbard9178]

This should get me through most of my road trip this morning 😁
