    Lovecraft really had a knack for the recurring theme of ancient ruins made by non-human civilizations that are largely dead and abandoned, yet something still remains. Whether its the Nameless City in the Middle East, the Elder Things capital in Antarctica, or the underground Yith archives in Australia, you can practically feel like you're there just by reading. Cosmic horror-meets-haunted house atmosphere.

      Kind of wish it wasn't always the same words though. I mean I've probably only seen something I would describe as 'cyclopean' once in my life. But apparently, Lovecraft's characters can barely move for all of the cyclopean structures and bas reliefs they run into.

    I always felt that Professor Dyer must have been some sort of glutton for punishment. He got chased around a ruined Old One city by an annoyed Shoggoth and then, knowing everything about Peasley's story, he's like "ruined alien city in the middle of nowhere? Yeah cool, what could go wrong?"

    Ive just discovered your excellent work.
    In my humble opinion- the quality of your reading of H.P. Lovecraft is on the level of Alexander Scourby's reading of the King James Bible.
    I am truly grateful for access to talented work like yours.
    Thank you.

      Still...what are your other interests? I can't even guess.

    It's a shame that so many writers today lack the eloquence of language of the old authors.Because of the density of vague adjectives,and the little known scientific theories of the time make it difficult to both pronounce the words and appropriate vocal inflections. I grew up with these,and the gothic horrors,and fate magazine. I enjoy the grammar, still.Well read.

    I think Lovecraft had an incredible imagination. Amazingly his works are still popular today. He must have been a wonderful conversationalist at parties. I find I would have been one of those gathered around to catch every word he spoke. There are a couple of his works that have been so insightful to the race of men and their musings, fears and fantasies. All in all he is not to be dismissed. God bless you all.
