I have just began listening to Lovecraft short stories this week. I have heard about 10 of them so far, and this is hands down my favorite. Exquisite
@NixDeGraves8888 Жыл бұрын
If you want something longer than his short stories, look up The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward, or The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath. The first is a horror story involving a colonial era necromancer and his descendent. The second is a fantasy tale set in the dream lands, rather like an alice in wonderland-meets-middle earth. If youre willing to expand beyond just lovecraft, i recommend The King In Yellow. It’s a collection of short stories, the first 4 of which are excellent horror and psychological tales revolving around an evil play that drives people crazy if they read it. It inspired lovecraft 2 decades later. Next, The House on the Borderlands. A creepy story about a guy who slowly loses his mind as a gateway to a pig-demon dimension opens up in his backyard. Last, an Algernon Blackwood short story called The Willows. 2 kayakers go down the danube river, but they begin to believe that something otherworldly is stalking them. You should know there are a few non-lovecraft stories written by his friends and peers that take place within the innsmouth universe and timeline. The fisherman of falcon point by august derleth directly mentions the events from this story. It’s also worth noting that there are some fun playthroughs on youtube of a game called call of cthulhu: dark corners of the earth (i think). You get to see innmouth in a 20 year old game. There’s also a terrrible european film called dagon, but it is essentially a bad adaptation of this story. Last, if you have a computer you can get tabletop simulator on steam for like 10 bucks. Once u get it you can (completely free) get every fantasy flight games’ lovecraft files board and card games. Instead of paying a thousand bucks for all of them total, you just click which one you want to play through Tabletop simulator and it gives you a 3D rendered version of the actual card and board games to play solo or online. I dont agree with fantasy flight’s politics, but since they dont get a penny i dont mind telling you that tabletop simulator version of FFG’s whole library really opened me up to lovecraft.

imagine me listening to this, years ago. i was cleansing lab buildings starting at 3am, so i would get up past 1 or 2. I would jog to the place, passing forests, a huge montrous church, going over a bridge, historic solid buildings -then before i would enter the abandoned high society neighborhood in which the 90s lab building was set at, i again would pass a forest. during and before work, i would feel wandering spaces "untouched". seeing various animals up close was common, but what unnerved me, where invisible clouds of warm and cold air, in the middle of nowhere -or when i would exit the building after work, and feel warm air, putting a strange pressure upon me. or that one time, i woke up past midnight, raised my kundalini -but then felt strangely empty, no desire no nothing, i felt serene and dead. i went to work, then at some point i saw my reflection in the many loong floors, the reflection frightened me, idk why -and this fear of this imitation drove back my desire feeling of being myself.

Be nice if he pronounced Innsmouth correctly. The accent is heavier on the first syllable than the second. *INNS*muth, not Inns*MOUTH*. Also, the second syllable is pronounced "muth", with a very soft "u", unlike in a word like butter. There isn't really another pronunciation like it, other than English named geographical locations. Investigate the pronunciation of words like Portsmouth Dartmouth. Just type it into Google. It's not hard. I'm off to find another audiobook; I'll never get to sleep otherwise

I love Lovecraft, pun intended. Those kids who listen to creepypastas have never heard of good, classic horror. They really seem to believe Slender Man, Jeff the Killer and the Rake are the best thing since sliced bread. If this Jeff is really such a fearsome killer, why woud he have to call himself the Killer anyway? Classic horror story/movie killers like Leatherface, Michael, Jason and Freddy never had to add The Killer behind their names, because their actions spoke for themselves.

I really like this reader, but the way he pronounces "Innsmouth" in this one makes me twitch every time haha.. "inns-MUTH," not "inns-MOWTH" - I know that's more strictly phonetic, but live around towns with names like that and you'll know what I mean... like how only people who've lived in Oregon say "Orreh-GUN," whereas the rest of the country says "Orreh-GAWN." But in cases of dispute like that I say rules of pronunciation defer to the preference of the locals.. Apart from that, though, this is really a perfect reading of Lovecraft. You couldn't ask for a better voice for this stuff.

This man created quite a lore didnt he? Even the stories that arent technically "chilling" are exciting and interesting. And to think he never thought much of his work when many today find it an inspiration. I always wanted to be a writer ever since i was in jr high school long LONG before id heard of this man, but that dream died many years ago. Maybe its ime i try again. This trying aomething original. Starting small. Im terrible when it comes to actual writing. I struggle with structure and ven wording but ive been told by friends i have a creative gift by friends. I wouldnt expect anything serious to come of it. A simple hobby as it was so many years ago. I think lovecraft speaks loudest to those who think "i could never do that" because according to him neither could he. Yet here we are. Absolutely love the mans stories. Too bad he was never really recognized in his own time. Also a great and terrible shame he died before his time, but at least his legacy lives on. What a boss. Now ive got tons of thinking to do.

Cecilia Vettraino when im gonna write a story i like to sort of think of the big picture and then i start to think up plot details and main events that will need to be the meaty parts. Then i flesh in some details and toss out anything that wont work at second glance. Then i have the skeleton of my story and its up to me to make it wordy in all the right ways and places. If i were just gonna start at A without knowing what B or C are gonna be i am probly gonna end up writing something long windy and full of plotholes and contridictions . Long story short, i think i probly prep like you. I like things organized before a long task otherwise it can be such a pain. Thanks for advive though

Best horror author of the 20th century. I wish Lovecraft had lived into the 1980s he would marvel at how much listeners like me love his prose style and word choice. Authors ignore careful wording it matters how you use language in telling a story.

I just finished listening to C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength. Highly recommended if you like weird tales that border on the prophetic, and he was unquestionably a master of the English language, but Lovecraft really does us Yanks proud.

At the time of this comment there are 219 politically correct idiots or deep ones that have hit dislike. Oh well still love H.P.Lovecraft. Yes he had his issues but art is art people. Its meant to shock and cause discussion. All i will say. Other than thank you for posting these. Classics of sci-fi/horror writing. We need more like him, not necessarily the controversial parts(though to me words are only words.)but the not afraid to tell a story for fear of offending someone.
