Charlie the Sorcerer was quite the petty man. He discovers an elixir of immortality and uses it on himself so that he can perpetuate the story of a curse by secretly killing men from the family when they reach a certain age because of some grudge he never let go off.
In his later years Lovecraft came to regret his views on race he had earlier in his life, and 180'd on almost all of them. he was simply a disturbed individual who upon sufficient introspection and exposure to other people, came to understand he was wrong.
I don't really get the ending, Charles still died right? So what's the problem? Or was it because that was supposed to have been the reveal of who he was, if you hadn't already guessed it
Many of Lovecraft’s stories go like that. Something terrible happens, someone faints, and it ends on an often obvious twist presented like no one saw it coming. While not his best, these stories can still be enjoyable for their sheer verbosity
Alchemy 100+
I want more Dagoth Ur reading H.P. Lovecraft.
This is so cool, it makes me want to go out and adopt a cat, and name him "N'wah"
a black cat
N'wah, please!

Discover immortality but somehow you still accomplish nothing after living for centuries. I'd rather die at 32
What's whack about this story is that magical curses apparently aren't real, but immortality elixirs are
we only know that in this story that particular curse isn't real
Dagoth Ur makes an excellent narrator
This is what AI TTS was really created for, it's ultimate application
Dagoth Ur sounds like the Ancestor from Darkest Dungeon, this story made me realise it as it kinda sounds like what the Ancestor does in the game
I thought so too!
Imagine trying to show lovecraft this. He would shreik, cry, say a slur and then die of bowel cancer
Dude, in about 5 years with AI you'll be able to ask Lovecraft yourself.

Such a grand treat
Fun Fact, The Blue Oyster Cult song of the same name of the short story is fire
Sounds similar to some DnD audiobooks I use to listen to before youtube terminated all the channels that had them.
Hermes Trismegustus was pretty cool
Yeah, his staff too. The secondmost wielder of it, Leyla Hassan though... She will barely be missed.
I always thought this story was funny. Like, Chuck, my man, don't you have anything better to do with your unnaturally long life?
I want him to do "In the mountains of Madness"
That's coming out soon™. Hopefully this weekend.
HOHOHO Merry Alchemismus!! ✨️🌲🌲

This is incredible
Man this is great, good work!
This is good, you should do the colour out of space next
I've got that one coming out tomorrow actually!
Some curses. . .should be. .hmm
Neat

We live.
We die.
We know not when.
Make the most of your time.
Different sensibilities, these stories are more than 100 years old
