I love Lovecraft's use of language it is so musical in its sense impacts like a piece of music so good that you can hear it millions of times and it never ceases to thrill you with terror. He was a true genius in my humble view.
God, that ending. The way his madness slowly takes over. The way his speech gradually devolves into older accents, older dialects, older languages, inhuman sounds, all paralleling Exham Priory's deep, ancient history built on older and older generations and civilizations, all drawn into this madness, into this cannibalism. Probably the scariest moment in all of Lovecraft's stories.
Really like Lovecraft's use of language. The narrator is great. Perfect voice for these stories. I always listen to this narrator when I have a choice.
First time I hear the cat’s name: Yikes. Well, things were different back then. Fifth time hearing the cat’s name: Okay, he was a little TOO proud of that name.
How long after drinking can i safely take diazepam?? Last drink was 10am, its 6 pm now..i already took 5mg.. im shaking anxious af and dont wanna die! I am absolutely quitting! Been binge drinking for 15 years.. im so scared and want this to stop! I don't wanna dt/seizure... haven't yet, but stage just below that 😢
Don´t take more than 8mg Alprolazam a day maximum dose. Minimum is 0.5 usually twice a day. Clonazapam is the one that is 0.5-2.0 Alprolazam is xannax. Dont worry about valium as u would need a lot more. Take small doses of xanax or clonazapm to ween yourself off the alcohol 7 days withdraw but burbituates 2 years of withdraw. At max to avoiid panic attacks take 2 0.5mg of xannax or aplolozam-. I have a medicine book from 1989.

@@ivanasukjadic1423 Unfortunately, despite the neutral origin of the word in Latin, the *English* word is a highly insulting and inflammatory racial slur. It would be nice to hope that Lovecraft didn't know this, or that it was considered normal in his day; but, well, all writers have flaws, and one of his was being *very* racist even by the standards of the 1920s and '30s, which were a lot more permissive. It doesn't ruin his stories for me or anything -- hell, that's why I tune on videos like this one in the first place; like I said, this one is a particular favorite of mine -- but it's frustrating to be insistently reminded of a petty nastiness an author you like freely indulged. (Things might be different if the cat having that specific name contributed to the story in some way. But obviously in this case you could change the cat's name to, well, anything *not* a racial slur, and the story would stay intact.)
As a born blind listener, I find it difficult to comprehend some authors like Lovecraft and their obsession with the supposed racial origins of various peoples as either low or high born for in my life rich or poor I have a low opinion of humans as a whole. Perhaps, it is due to my visional impairment that I was not socialized as my sighted counterparts. All I know for certain is that everybody lies so to me we are inside the same a mixture of good and evil and it is only which part we cultivate the good or the evil within us all already. I vainly hope that in the future if humans make it through the 21st century that these negative aspects will lessen however, history makes plain we are still enthrall with the worst elements of our nature and do not as we should cultivate a more positive society.

Sonia Greene was Jewish, but Lovecraft apparently told her regularly how she had somehow managed to "graduate" from her otherwise lowly and loathsome race. I only just read Leslie Klinger's annotated collection of Lovecraft's stories and it contains some info on that, and more concerning the forms his racism took. It was a long way from "moderate".

These stories help me sleep at night. I get so into the story that I can’t help but to nod off while listening to them.

It's my favorite lovecraft story foe just that reason.
I just realize Darkest Dungeon is basically an expanded adaptation of this short story.
They have a Cat named Nword man on darkest Dungeon?

14:10 best superhero name ever
Thank you! Great narration.
All jokes aside, it’s a very nice book : )
yup.
Yeah I read it last month, it was a good read. Highly recommended.
Currently trying to go sleep in a room that really has mice in the walls. Figured I'd roll with the ambiance.
14:10 is what you want
Yes, yes it is...
Thank you
I didn't quite hear it - what was the cat's name again?
@@burgerkang4518 It's name was *[REDACTED]*
@@Trifixion22 Think they should have called him " Lucius" or something more sinister. Black Tom just doesnt sound like a normal name.
First time I hear the cat’s name: Yikes. Well, things were different back then.
Fifth time hearing the cat’s name: Okay, he was a little TOO proud of that name.
LMFAO
Truly unique!
That was normal for his time. Lots of white people named their pets the N-word. Besides, why make a big deal out of it? Stop being a SJW snowflake.
The way I understand is that was a very common name for a black animal for quite a while
The only people who get mad about words are, well, frankly they're....
His cat knew him as Crackers, but none ever asks.
Ask
😂
Lmao, nice.
Pathetic of you
Best laugh all month!! 🤣🤣🤣
Lovecraft is the best. Simple as that.
Aside from being utterly mad and having baffling notions of what constitutes a decent name for a cat, you mean?
@@RailwayRunaway No, he was simply the best.

Apart from the cat's name (siiighh), this might be the single best Lovecraft short story there is.
Can't decide between this and shadow over innsmouth. Both are sooooo Good
Why do you have to complain about such an insignificant thing?

What's wrong with the cat's name? The cat is dark in colour, so the name fits.

You have lead a sheltered life if you have not experienced the behavioral differences of different “demographics”.
@@NateB Blind people do life isolated lives not sheltered as you so glibbly put it.
@@jeremyreagan9085 He was not referring to your blindness at all. He was talking about you living a sheltered life (blind, or not).

Lovecraft's racism was moderate compared to most people at that time in history. His wife was Jewish.
so his anti-semetism was moderate. he was extremely racist
@@bunniboiler1458 by today's standards, yes.
