Ex Oblivione by H. P. Lovecraft Review and Analysis
Ex Oblivione is my favorite Lovecraft work by far so far in my journey. It is about the meaning of life, the significance of death, philosophy, suicide, and humanity.
There are a LOT of spoilers in my discussion, so be sure to read Ex Oblivione.

cool book how can i find/read it?
It should be on all platforms, here's the Amazon link - www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJH6X5FM/
Thank you so much for making this!
I'm glad you found it useful!
Just read this and the whole time I felt like I was on the outside of an inside joke Thanks for explaining it and bringing me a bit more inside the joke
This is a challenging story for that very reason. Lovecraft is writing 100 years ago and he's writing about HIS favorite old-time authors from many years before that. At least in our "modern times" we still have a sense of who Tolkien and CS Lewis and so on are, so if I wrote a story involving my dream-meeting of them people would have half a chance of knowing what I was talking about. The further back in time you go, the harder that becomes.
I’m just a little confused how this could both be part of dreamland and also prehistoric earth
This is one of the first stories Lovecraft ever wrote and I don't think he was even thinking about what the story fit into long term. He'd written a story about creepy castles with an immortal evil guy. He'd written a story about wanting to hang out with writers from the 1800s he liked. So he was just writing random things in those early days.
Does this still work the same after 3 years and v2? How do you deal with footnotes? Paragraph CAP etc? Unfortunately Affinity still doesnt have Epub function...
This is my favorite poem
My mother can still recite this one from memory :). Lots of people love this poem!
My birthday is also January 19
Very cool!
Thank you Ma'am.
You're welcome!
God bless you Lisa!! I was stuck and going crazy!
This is one of those things that people need to do all the time and it's hard to figure out. I had to figure it out for my own project - I'm glad my how-to is helping others.
Subscribed! Enjoying you experiencing these stories for the first time and sharing your thoughts
Thank you! I've read some of Lovecraft's works before but only a handful. It's interesting to read his library from the beginning and watch the progression.
Good Analysis 👍
Thank you. Polaris was definitely an interesting story.
I also started going through all stories of Lovecraft, only in German. It's nice to have your reviews I recently stumbled upon, please keep it up❤
It's interesting that you're reading them in German. So much of Lovecraft is about his specific word choices and the inflection of those words. I wonder how well that translates into German.
@@workfromhomelisashea yeah, I try to be as close as possible word by word with my translations I also compare with other German translations. Translating it directly from the original - as German often uses more words to describe the same than English - sometimes makes for very very long (and unpleasant) scentences some other translators of various publishers have simplified. But I like it so, it was just his style. (And maybe mine)😁
Ah, I think there was a misunderstanding at first: I do the readings and my podcast about it in German, but ofc I read the original to do so :)
Thank you, it worked! But now I have another problem; how can I separate them with a period in between?
What I would do is add a period and space before the second line word / phrase. Visually on the chapter page itself it will look like a cool formatting presentation.

God bless you Lisa
I'm glad to help!
Great!! Synopsis new subscriber
I found it really interesting how Lovecraft - a person who lived in Providence - was so strongly repelled by all things watery. And that he then wrote about a sailor character who had this revulsion.
Three years since your video, and Publisher is no closer to exporting to ePub. Why is that? Vellum makes the process easy but is expensive. Apple Pages (free) handles text and graphics beautifully and exports to ePub with the click of a button. Indesign is expensive and cumbersome, but even it gets the job done. Affinity Publisher … nada. I have been asking Affinity for years now.
Very good analysis! I agree 100% I'd always assumed that every descendant (male and female) was cursed and died early, but that it just took a few generations of those around them to notice. I also got the drift that the decaying château and lands immediately around it was mostly all that Antoine still possessed and most of his fief had likely been abandoned or taken over by other nobles nearby, but you're very right that Lovecraft never specifies this anywhere. Antoine exists in that strange sort of narrative stasis that so many early weird protagonists seemed to occupy... never having to worry about food, clothes, shelter, cutlery, or even noblesse oblige but also never advancing or improving his state. Even if the family servants (except Pierre) have all fled the sinking ship... you're right, where are his apples, potatoes, goats, and chickens? Where are his sisters and cousins and nieces? A few years ago I took a stab at improving this story myself (since it's in the public domain), but I confess I still ignored this perfectly sensible expectation that a lot of the extended family would very likely still be around. I think Lovecraft was trying to depict terrible loneliness and loss of privilege (apparently his own family was fairly wealthy but lost almost everything during his parents' and his own generations). He captures that pretty well, even if he does so by sacrificing a lot of believability. Nonetheless, it's probably far better than anything I wrote at age 18 ;)
Yes certainly as a teen Lovecraft was writing this to work through his own very real issues of loneliness and lost wealth. And you're right, he was a fairly talented writer for that age!
Thanks a lot!
I'm glad to help!
Thank you for the short and concise insight on the story Much appreciated 👏
I enjoyed this one as an insight into Lovecraft as a lonely author who didn't really feel like he fit in with other people in his group.
Finally! Someone with a clue that explained things clearly. Hallelujah
I'm glad to be a help :). Book gutters are fairly foundational to book layout.
thank you, it reaaly helped me
I'm glad you found it helpful!
thank you
You're welcome! I do this quite a lot so I figured it would help others out.
Really a life saver, thanks a lot.
I'm glad to help!
Great. Can you use different fonts for the first and second line of the chapter header?
Yes absolutely, you can have the two different lines have whatever fonts or sizes or colors you wish - ua-cam.com/video/yhTLcuwlRD8/v-deo.html
❤
awesome tutorial -thanks Lisa!
I'm glad it was helpful!
I use Kindle Create, it even has an option for image-heavy books where you can upload the print-ready pdf (the one you exported from AP and the same you use for paperback/hardcover publishing) and get a perfect replica of the printed book. I know this isn't good if you mean to publish outside Amazon but, if you're going for KDP anyway, Kindle Create makes everything way easier.
thank you so muchh this really save my lifee❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you found the tutorial useful!
Thank you so much! You are a gem!
You are welcome!
Thanks. How to add : (Colon) between the Chapter One AND Introduction?
I'm not sure I understand what the question is. If I wanted the first line to read Chapter One: and the second line to read Introduction, I would simply type those two lines in. I'd use the soft return in between so that they combine together in the table of contents to read Chapter One: Introduction. Is that what you meant?
Hello, how to drop cap a chapter number like in the Bible? Please ... I also need to stylereference it later in the header. I am translating a Bible, and I need to make the exact layout Bibles use... Please...
There are actually thousands of versions of the Bible in existence, each with its own font, formatting, and even translation. So there isn't just one-and-only-one way of laying out a Bible. If you have a particular version in mind that you want to duplicate, let me know a URL to some page images on the web so I can see what you are trying to do. For example look at this image from one of the King James versions - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapters_and_verses_of_the_Bible#/media/File:John_1.jpg - the chapter number there simply says "CHAPTER 1" in normal centered text. There's no special trick to that at all.
thank you, great, straightforward video.
I'm glad you found it useful!
Thanks
You're welcome!
Hi! Thank you! How do you save it as .docx without the comments?
What I normally do is save it down with all the comments so I have them. Then I just save it to a new version, and delete all the comments in that new version. That way I have it both ways. I'm a strong believer of having multiple backups.
Thank you so very much! I am creating my first poetry book and this has helped me immensely.
Good luck with the book!
@@workfromhomelisashea Thank you!!
@@workfromhomelisashea thank you 👍
Thanks ! The title is more useful than you think since I didn't know that's what it's called. I spent a good 5 minutes looking for an option that was literally there in the menu.
Sometimes just knowing the term is half the battle :)
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
This is a sneaky work around. Thanks so much for making this video in response to my question.
I'm glad to help!
This helped a lot. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Very helpful! Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Knowing how to work with gutters is a key part of publishing physical books.
You are more helpful than the whole Microsoft help page!
I'm glad I was able to help!
@@workfromhomelisashea lifesaver!
This is amazing! so simple but the exact problem I've been fighting with! Any chance you also have the gem to solve the problem that I want the Chapter heading in the body to be in Caps, but not in caps in the TOC?
I have made a video just for you :). It is now live!
Thanks for detailed and easy to understand method of creating ebook
I'm glad you found it helpful! I should note that Amazon no longer uses MOBI files. They just use the EPUB file.
Thanks! Direct instructions straight to the point!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
WOW! THANK YOU! A soft return----who would have guessed? I didn't even know there was such a thing. Thanks!
I work on a lot of books so over time you run into all those stranger parts of Word :).
How do you do full bleed butkeep text from comup
I'm not sure what you mean? The text should go over the top of the image, so you can put that text wherever you want on the page ...?
This was so clear and and to the point! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I'm glad to be a help!
Love this detailed account of your story and then at the end, your caring insights toward Marguerite's life of neglect and lack of guidance in leading a life of her own. Haunting, Lisa, a true horror...well done and the green eyed cat at the end was a nice surprise delivered by an innocent child...yet, this girl witnesses some horror too...🤩
I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I tend to write horror which is about neglected / inwardly hurting people.
