If he were to do so, and I would love it if he did, I would give one piece of advice. As a writer and a Lovecraft fan, big words do not equal cosmic horror. I'm not saying don't use big words, I rather believe a robust vocabulary is extremely beneficial when writing (antidiluvian is always a welcome addition when it matches the subject). That being said, many attempts at cosmic horror that I've encountered read like someone tried to use an entire thesaurus as a Lovecraft madlib. I would say that archaic and verbose prose are an defining characteristic of Lovecraft, but it can easily be taken too far and imitated poorly. If you're going to use a lot of words, there needed to be substance behind them, a reason to push through.

I have ADHD and can't listen to audio books - I space out in a matter of minutes. Lately I discovered it's because the books sound like they are _being read_ , not told. It's a huge difference I noticed while listening to fiction podcasts: I never have a problem with them even if there are long monologues, - because even then they sound like they are being _told_ to someone - to a character or to the audience, doesn't matter. This narration of Shadow over Innsmouth is the very first audio book I managed to not only finish but even enjoy. All thanks to the way it's _told_ , not _read_ (even though it is being read, obviously). I'm so grateful for it and am amazed at the narrator's skill at voice acting. The story sounds alive and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

He spotted the shoggoth and is desperately clinging to the reality where he only saw a group of ugly pursuers. In fact him saying that he saw it for the first time in his dreams adds to the terror of his first encounter with it. His mind can only accept seeing it as he's going crazy from the Innsmouth curse.

I am all to eager to know what horror authors you inted to do going forward because I know we the listeners/viewera are going to be enraptured and bewitched by your reading of them.

I have been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft since I was little. One of the first stories I ever read was "Over The Mountains Of Madness" and I was hooked. Now my 9 year old child has brought the obsession full circle as they started getting interested in Lovecraft recently as well. ❤

My personal favorite is the whisperer in darkness but all of Lovecrafts work is timeless.

More Lovecraftttt. I didn't really like The Shadow Over Innsmouth, it seemed way too long and ramble-y and the final revelation wasn't as 'surprising' as some of Lovecraft's other works....but I'll listen to it..the atmosphere Lovecraft has set is...unsettling and dreary and I enjoy that a lot.

I don't really think the story is suppose to have a twist or to be surprising, I think its more supposed to be a slow mounting horror as you figure out all the little pieces.

These stories are really good at convincing me I should have a pocket-flashlight and 3-in-one tool of some kind, whenever I travel.

I hope he considers reading an Edgar Allen Poe story next. The Cask of Amontillado or The Raven would be AMAZING to hear

Holy shit. Was not expecting the internet to bring my this to listen to this morning. I've never read Lovecraft and this was a very interesting introduction

You have to be one of the best story tellers ever, and I mean that. I wish you would do more 40k and Hp stories. I know you main stick is SCP and I love them but truly you speak HP better than anyone I have heard.

I love that the narration here is done like a regular human telling a story. My problem with so many of Lovecraft audio readings is that people seem to think speaking like the singer from "You're a mean One, Mr Grinch" who has to stop and check his script every 4 words is a requirement. SO many "dramatic" pauses and needlessly over-the-top projecting and bassy monotone but no actual emotion during passages where the narrator clearly IS emotional. This is great. It sounds like what it SHOULD sound like: a regular dude telling a story that upset him greatly.
