This is art. The narrator has an excellent voice for it. An eclectic ancient quality that matches the story very nicely, as if it were Lovecraft reading his own work
Oh my god. So glad I read the comments first! Its so well written and so well narrated, that it seems as if HP lovecraft was just telling a story haha. MInd blown.
I like the little insight Lovecraft offers about how he tends to end his stories as the main character becomes paralytically insensible to the horror confronting him at the story's final line. I find many of Lovecraft's stories unsatisfying and when they end so abruptly it often get the sense that the author had run out of ideas or had just tired of it a wanted to finish it. They can be very frustrating to read. He can create an atmosphere but then, it seems to me, that now he was burdened with the idea of having to populate the story with more than just the "cosmic horror" which spurred on the idea of the story. He cannot write characters very well, especially females, who are almost non-existent in his fiction. He was an author of imagination but creative limitations, like Arthur C. Clarke whose style is so mechanical that it is lifeless, but I understand why both are held in such high regard within their respective genres of fiction.
raziel11 It's really a tough question since I like so many of his stories. But the Mountains of Madness is definitely one of my all time top 3 Lovecraft stories. :)
The Colour Out of Space is one of the few Lovecraft stories to genuinely frighten me. Don't get me wrong, they're all eloquently written and eerie and creepy, but that one made me actually SCARED as I laid in bed reading it.
Yeah the amount of detail in those long paragraphs in mountains is crazy, it really helps me feel like i'm there. His style of writing is very odd, in some areas he does not expand on at all, in others he goes deep (and even though the science is sometimes off, it still works to make the story good). I can really relate to this as i prioritise science, the environment around me etc more than say, other peoples relationships; that so many modern stories focus on.
This was the name of a slasher film made by a French Canadian back in 1988. I can't pronounce his name but he worked with Cameron on Terminator. Needless to say, this movie had very little to do with the Lovecraft story.
I assume, within the context, because he tends to go into depth on Holmes describing all the minute details which made it possible to decipher the culprit of the case. But if a creature is unnamable-- indescribable by nature-- then even the like of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle couldn't do such a thing. EDIT: Just saw you posted this 5 years ago. I apologize if my response is bothersome. But, never too late to learn!
+Free Audio Books for Intellectual Exercise I honestly think this is him,brought back from the olden days to narrate his own story's,AND TO DO BATTLE WITH GREAT C'THULLU ggfhvfjjhvhhdjgjbgkggfhj!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one that hears what sounds like a womans muffled screams throughout most of these audiobooks? example for this video here is 3:39 - 3:50 .. o_o first time I heard it was terrifing, but yeah Id like to know if Im going crazy
@@TheRecluseeee I believe what im hearing according to someother comments is sounds that are picked up from the otherside of tape cassette, I like that answer ha, thank you for the reply, most appreciated. I really, if you have to time and are willing, to have a chat in regards to your content, specifically your lessons. I would like to thank you again for a great channel :>

+Seth Landsman Thanks for listening!
yes he has a we are entering into the twilight zone voice
One of my favorites of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories. The narrator is absolutely superb.
During the first minute I almost felt as if I was listening to lovecraft talk about his reactions to critics
Eyokir Videos I think that is exactly who we were listening to
That 50s voice and tone of the narrator is amazing. It matches this well written story incredibly well
Thanks for visiting and listening! Cheers!
Thumbs up. This author really knew how to write
Yes, indeed. IMHO, none can match Lovecraft in terms of creating atmospheric horror.
Nor in evoking the fear of the incomprehensible.
Wotan Catro Exactly!
The father of modern horror
Lol yeah one day H.P. Lovecraft might be known all over.
I like this narrator. It feels like someone reading a story as some kind of proof before the court of law.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
One of the best and most underrated of his time.
Absolutely demented, been continually progressing through his short stories and this video is awesome
I love this clever shorter Lovecraft. Poor Manton gets his proof in well deserved manner! ;-)
this, the Lurking Fear and Pickman's Model are my favourite Lovecraft works
Glad that you like the upload!
as I do all of your uploads
My pleasure! :)
Randolph Carter is such a cool character in the Lovecraft lore. ♡
Indeed!
I love this story
+Isaac Clarke Thanks for listening!
Oh my god. So glad I read the comments first! Its so well written and so well narrated, that it seems as if HP lovecraft was just telling a story haha. MInd blown.

excellent voice. thank you
Thanks for listening!
Wow great, how he can come up with this awesomness in just 20 minutes...
blackmetalmagick1 Indeed it's very impressive. :)
"The lurking fear" has root from this short story!
Does anyone else think the Unnameable could also be the creature in the tomb in the story called The statement of Randolph Carter?

I would not be surprised if this really happened to Lovecraft.
Thanks for listening! Cheers!
Let's name it Valerie. I like that name
The greatest question of all, which lovecraft story is best?
+raziel11 It really depends on one's taste, I guess. Thanks for listening!
+Free Audio Books for Intellectual Exercise I like at the mountains of madness most, how about you?

Needless to say, this movie had very little to do with the Lovecraft story.
To be fair the opening of both the story and the film are similar, it's after that that the story and film really become different.
more addicting the dope
Lovecraft's tales are addicting for sure. ;)
Ah. There it is. "Demoniac" appears at 16:36! Yay!
If you name something unnameable then haven't you named it?
what was the Arthur Conan Doyle comment about?
I assume, within the context, because he tends to go into depth on Holmes describing all the minute details which made it possible to decipher the culprit of the case. But if a creature is unnamable-- indescribable by nature-- then even the like of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle couldn't do such a thing.

Does anyone know if Wayne June has done a version of this?
The bug-a-boo.
So is there any kind of Cd box set of all these audiobooks?
I think most of us would be considered orthodox sun-dwellers by Lovecraft.
Is this a real picture of Lovrcraft?
+gayleg80 Yes. :)

Not sure what you are hearing? Woman's scream? I don't hear that.

Christopher Walker Oh shit, I hear it. That's truly terrifying!
Yes . Some stories it sounds like a distant telephone conversation. You're right though about this sounding like screams!
I have listened to this many times and I only just now heard it... I put my volume up all the way it starteled me
a true story, but Bradford's journal ("of Plymoth Plantation"), not Mather.
"orthodox sun-dweller" hahaha
Is this narrator Wayne Gould?
I know something else to do with Lovecraft that is Unnameable.
