This has to be one of my all time favorite Lovecraft stories, just because of the great descriptive detail he gave to Sarnath. Lovecraft was a master of horror, sure, but he was also a master of detail. ^^
I actually didn't like the extreme length of detail he put into Sarnath. It felt like he was rambling because ultimately the majority of the detail he included wasn't included in the story. It was enough to describe the city as full of avarice, gluttony and egotistical pride and hate.
His knowledge was extraordinary. It's hard to imagine how many books he must have read to write these amazing accounts of madness. It's no wonder many consider him an unconcious prophet, as his details of the "recently" discovered megalithic sites, and the connections he makes with ancient Entities, is still unparalleled, and to the student of the ancient Mistery schools is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much for all these audio uploads, as as much I love reading, playing them while I lay in bed at night is quite wonderful and relaxing.
Nick Sothep his parents went mad, he had bad luck in his life and as a racist, he feared the unknown. Also I wouldn't be surprised if he experimented with halucinating drugs. That would explain his unique style of horror writing.
Beautiful story. The reader here does Lovecraft great justice. I would not trust my internal dialog to bring these stories to life. Thank you so much for these!
@@kingcobrajfssepaboosterclub, I'm not convinced that Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror contains any intended "morals". Nay, it would seem sanity and survival are the only virtues within this grim and perilous mythos.
I have heard this tale like n times and still... calling this a fantasy or horror would be an injustice, it crawls into your mind and nestles there like a being from the lake.
man i love this channel so much the way he reads Lovecrafts books is so perfect i love all of Lovecrafts books man such a great writer with such a great imagination :D
YOOO I just looking into that and thought immediately of this book like woohoo more Lovecraftian themed creatures in DC makes me so happy, I hope the movie is good!
H.P.'s Sarnath = Modern day Washington, DC. Many empty-suits work and reside there too with flabby lips and pointy ears. Gotta love a writer who goes into such descriptive details.
yeah that would be awsome. i think they would honestly respect eatchother and teach a few things to one another like not to be so racist with horror. and not to be so dark all the time. h.p lovecrafts dream scape stories are truly epic as fuck fantasy books.
Maybe it was the ghost of Lovecraft himself. He was known for being hypercritical of his own work. He is a great example of that idea of one being their own worst critic.
I HAVE A REQUEST IF THATS POSSABLE😁😁 THE REST OF THE WES PENRE PAPER 3 THRU 5 OR 6 I BELIVE PUT ON AUDIO BOOK..........I CAN ONLY FIND 1 AND 2......THIS WOD B AMAZING AND SO HELPFULL TO SO MANY PPL WHO NEED HELP TO START TO WONDER AND THINK FREELY....THANK U FOR UR THANKS FOR ALL U DO REGARDLESS FAM!!!

+ReyaitheShadowWolf True on both accounts (being a master of horror and detail). Cheers!

My pleasure! And yes, I believe Lovecraft was probably one of the biggest book lovers of all time!
Nick Sothep I would love to study with Mystery School. I want to learn.

Seems like he just paid attention to the newspapers of the time.

Beautiful c8k I have for your pusscar
Moral of the story: if you destroy beings and things out of fear and hatred and then take over their land, they will have their revenge.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
An interesting premise given his current reputation

That doesn’t happen, just a fantasy to comfort those who got conquered
@@agentk3388 *Looks over to literally every rebellion in history, which caused the end of many empires*
This story gave me a good DnD idea.
Thanks for visiting and listening! Cheers!
Well you could save a little time and play the Lovecraft desktop roleplaying game.
@@eLJaybud Yeah, but I needed this to give the campaign setting I was trying to create and DM more depth. I we still haven't gotten to that point yet.
Aboleth uprising, perhaps?
What’s your idea? I want to hear it =)
2:26 I love the way he phrases that sentence

3:33 This is like the story of the assyrians vs the medes, if I remember correctly. They took their statues as trophies.
This happened a lot among the Mesopotamians, the Assyrians took the statue of Marduk in Babylon captive, too.
Moral of the story? Don't fuck with the water lizard.
Nice summary. :D
I love this reading. This takes me to a high rise smoke lounge in Chicago. It is 1930 and I'm staring outside while sitting in an arm chair
Thanks for visiting and listening!
Happy 131st birthday, H. P. Lovecraft!
Can’t wait to listen to this,,, I read the DC comic “The Doom that Came to Gotham” so i’m excited to check out the source material!

Well it was the same in his day so just reporting it as it was.
amazing
+Tyler Bennett Thanks for listening!
I feel like this must of been one of his earlier works, seems less polished in the writing department than some of his other short stories
probably because it is one of his older works made in 1920
@Righteous Agitator no this the first in the cuthulu mythos
There are just so many advertisements in the videos now that they kill the desire. 6 in an 18 minute video
This reads biblical as fuck
Thanks for your feedback.
It seems to me the Sarnathians had it coming
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Have you guys figured out we live in Sarnath yet?
Where can I buy this guys audiobooks
who disliked this? wtf
+Andrew Dornan the ghost of Edger Allen Poe Prolly
+TheSlenderman Quite possible lol, tho that made me think of how cool it would be to put the Lovecraft and Poe in the same room an coauthor a book
yeah that would be awsome. i think they would honestly respect eatchother and teach a few things to one another like not to be so racist with horror. and not to be so dark all the time. h.p lovecrafts dream scape stories are truly epic as fuck fantasy books.
The people of Sarnath, duh
Maybe it was the ghost of Lovecraft himself. He was known for being hypercritical of his own work. He is a great example of that idea of one being their own worst critic.
Anyone know who narrated this?
Who is the narrator?
What is the name of this reader?
Gordon Gould
So Sarnath is essentially an allegory for Rome and Ib Carthage?

It's a bit Buddhistic this story, it's all about impermanence.
