    I would love people's thoughts on making audiobooks a permanent, intermittent fixture of the channel.

      Fredrik Knudsen sounds good. Maybe do some short stories too where you don't have to split them up.
      Idk if it's just me, but if you split them up into ~10 minute chunks and release them more frequently, I would be more likely to watch/listen.
      Keep up the great work!

      Meh. Do what you want i don't really care. I'll check it out either way.

      Yes, all of the Lovecraft Audiobooks. Keep at it.

    • @lolfiish
      @lolfiish 8 років тому +7

      Definitely. I think audiobooks would fit nicely into a channel providing mainly narrative content.

      As an avid Lovecraft fan I would love to see more of these. Though with audio books I enjoy having the whole thing in one long video.

    I would love for these readings to be a permanent thing. I often re-watch your videos since they are usually a calming experience for me, no matter the subject and no matter how many times I watch/listen.

    • @FredrikKnudsen
      @FredrikKnudsen  8 років тому +23

      Awwh, this made my heart leap.

      Fredrik Knudsen I hope you enjoy making your videos as much as I enjoy watching them.

      In the mean time, Horrorbabble puts their readings up on UA-cam, and I really like how Ian Gordon reads Lovecraft.

    He might’ve been one hella racist bastard, but Lovecraft sure knew how to set up a foreboding, unimaginably terrifying tale

    when will part 2 come out?? ;-;

  • @gimok2k5
    @gimok2k5 8 років тому +9

    Awesome. Always liked to read and/or listen to Call of Cthulhu and hearing you read it is certainly a good listen.
    I wouldn't mind if this would become a permanent addition to the channel - my only regret would be not to be able to subscribe a second time.

  • @Gorvar100

    @loreguy8722 4 роки тому +1

    Are you thinking of doing a part two? Now that your channel is more well-established, your voice has an immediate association with the noir-like investigations you do. Would suit more Lovecraft readings well.

  • @andybaldman
    @andybaldman 6 років тому +1

    Where's the rest? This is great! I love your DTRH's, and was delighted to find this. (Why don't you have a playlist for it?) You have a great voice and passion for these reads. Please do more!

  • @itallia666
    @itallia666 4 роки тому

    Btw, i do remember the book in which i read th Story of Tobit. Its by English author Sally Vickers & calld Miss ( cant remember name) ..... Angel but typing in a google search of author Sally Vickers will give u correct book title ( th book itself is so so so good, unusual & haunting in a ' longing for something so elusive ' kind of way i recommend it greatly. It lifts th spirit. Its not a ghost story, like i said, its much more elusive& ephemeral yet stays wth u for ever. Plus its not a huge tome & can be read in 1 or 2 sittings)

  • @davidkyo1985
    @davidkyo1985 6 років тому

    Ooh, good old Lovecraft and his innocent racism. Do a reading of Rats in the walls too, it'd be a hoot to hear you utter the protagonist's favourite cat's name in that professional voice of yours.

    I assumed you were Danish due to your name, and pronunciation in other videos, but your pronunciation of your own name in this video made me doubt that. Could you set me straight? Are you actually a native English speaker with a Danish name?

    • @FredrikKnudsen
      @FredrikKnudsen  8 років тому +33

      I was born and raised in America, I'm a native English speaker, but my name is Norwegian.

    • @SALSN
      @SALSN 8 років тому +6

      Okay :-) Well Norwegian is just Danish with a few typos anyway :-P
      Love your narration by the way. I've been listening to a lot of audio books lately, you are are just as good as many of those in my opinion, keep up the good work!

    • @FredrikKnudsen

  • @itallia666
    @itallia666 4 роки тому

    So if ths part 1 was 3 yrs ago did Mr Knudsen ever do said other parts? I would def have listened to them as i do indeed like th calibre of this young chaps voice. Also i noticed Mr K's animator is called Ben Tobitt, have you ever thought of telling th Wonderful story of Tobit? I read it yrs ago & was entranced. Im not sure if ths bit is true (as it was in th book i read stated) somewhere in Venice Italy, There is a very old church wth a .magnificent & very unusual church organ wth th painted rendition of th Story of Tobit. True or not, it doesnt detract fr th wonferful mysterious Tobit story, even after 20 yrs of reading ths story i think of it often. Esp th name of th angel ( now forgive me here as i cant remember th correct spelling of ths name only th sound that i believed it pronounced) shraiosher - sh ray o sha. I will ofter repeat that name like a mantra, eyes closed, & it begins to sound like sussuration of th sea on th shore & a gentle breeze wth far off call of seabirds. I always feel so calm after doing ths. I know not if ths is what u r supposed to do but i loved saying that name word so much it just seemed a natural thing to do, SHHH RAYY OHHH SHHHAA! anyway do try & read the Story of Tobit im sure u will agree its pretty amazing. Btw think its an ancient hebraic story let me know what u think, cheers

      Lovecraft's works are a legal grey area, but most of the stories themselves are in the public domain, including this one.
