Lovecraft was wise to add the element of a compulsion to remain to the story, because otherwise everyone who listens is constantly thinking, "Nope, time to go. Get out of there, get out yesterday, grab your family, leave everything, just go."

The best part about this story is the ominous ending, the narrator seemingly unfazed by the fact that they are going to build a reservoir above the infectious meteorite
Hmm...yeah, short-stories like these are definitely more enjoyable than ginormous multi-chapter ones for me. Not that those were bad, but horror just works better as short stories.
I'm not sure that's necessarily true. The problem you seem to have encountered is that authors often don't effective relieve the horror to "recharge" its potency for later scenes.
@@G1ingy many authors succeeded in long horror stories, lovecraft being an extremely influential one of many, horror is better in long chapters imo, and considering that lovecrafts most influential and highest regarded works are long stories, i would say most agree that its a success in that notion.
Can I ask you a question ? How is it connected with Chernobyl in your mind ? I am not trying to judge or be rude or anything. I'm just really curios. Thanks :)
@@ianryan6475 more of the fact that the effect of the things in some sense distancely similar to gradual rediation poisoning...if it doesn't kill you straight up first with a dose of supernatural horror. Animals living around Chernobyl some of them actually mutated because of it. Maybe they compared to that?
Will you please do the Solomon Kane series. Everything from your production down to your choice of which audio reading you chose is top shelf. Thankto for making the greatest videos on UA-cam.
Because the channel location is set to Russia, I'm assuming the videos are edited to the Russian versions, and uses the same edit for the English versions.
Yes, it's as if two different stories are going on simultaneously. A re-edit could bring the visuals and audio together in a more cohesive way. Good reading and great art are working against each other thru most of this. But enjoyable anyway.
No, the microphone popping is awful. And ignoring the microphone, the narrator is okayish, but clearly amateur. Watch "The Nameless City" from this channel, read by a different narrator. Very professional.
@@chrimony I agree. I applaud the narrators service, but he really needs to be using professional equuipment, popfilter is needed, editing is needed.,etc. Sometimes his brushes with the mic is distracting, sometimes he stumbles on words and i could here keyboard clicks....
ImperialistRunningDo Dude. I am well aware of Lovecraft and have read numerous works by him. This graphic novel is an adaptation of the book, not the book itself word for word and it was printed in Japanese. So this guy translated the Japanese adaption into English. So far only three of Gou Tanabe’s adaptations of Lovecraft works have been printed in English. And this isn’t one of them.
That's because the audio & visuals are out of synch: the narrator is reading at a much faster pace than the 'slideshow' of the graphics, especially as the story progresses...
I'm in the same. I found this chanel a couple of days ago. I love the content and the video scenary. Overal I listen to this and do art at the same time. It's quite relaxing and funn
Gou Tanabe is the artist, I didn't notice if he'd gotten credit? Or if credits run at the end. He is using HPL's original text here I think, too lazy to check. Anyhow the manga the art is from is also very good.

I appreciate the quality of the art and the effort that went into it, but the artist appears to have never visited New England in his life. The background bears a fair resemblance to the Sierra Nevada or the Eastern flank of the Cascades. But this is not New England. New England is dense, dense forest that bids fair to engulf the farms and villages that remain after the old population moved to the Midwest in the 19th Century. There are no jagged mountain peaks and ridges. Just endless green and shadowy woodland that holds the air close and is forever dank with insect and moss all summer long.
I think it's supersentient ultraviolet light (plants love it), but it could be supersentient high-intensity gamma rays (alien plants love it, see Chernobyl reactor fungus), or supersentient neutrinos (what the fuck is a neutrino REALLY, anyways?).
I have just discovered your marvellous channel. Great, great work! Sadly this reading is not very good. Besides the fast pace and weak voice acting, it uses a pretty cheap and bad microphone. It constantly "blows" on your eardrums. Giving this a different performance would do your hard work of editing justice.
its nice but the pictures are quite off and dont sinc with the text and your reading could be better your other videos are much better i dont know what happened here
As good as the narrator is in Mountains of Madness make me wish for his skills here.This narrator is hard to follow and just reads the tale like hes trying to get thru it as fast as he can.
That's because the audio & visuals are out of synch: the narrator is reading at a much faster pace than the 'slideshow' of the graphics, especially as the story progresses... (In other words, the illustrations aren't random.)
The passivity of the farmers in staying in this poisoned environment is really tiresome. It is one of the few Lovecraft stories I don't like (Dreams of the Witchouse being another), and yet I consider him among the greatest of all writers. It took me a while to get into Mountains of Madness, as it is a little slow to get to the payoff: Now it is my second favourite of all after Innsmouth. But here, I really see no plausibility or stakes. What I really don't understand is he pronounced it his favourite...
Lovecraft explains why they stay. They got poisoned by drinking the well water so they were basically infected. As Nam is crumbling to death he says the entity draws them in, that they know its coming but it ain't no use running. Very clever of Lovecraft to include that.
@@edvfya9922 Yes. Plus Lovecraft seems to have appreciated the stubborn pluckiness of hard-working "salt of the earth" people, determined to see things through, SOMEHOW, even if against logical reasoning. They are not wont to flee. And then after a while, the poisoning, as you point out, has now made it impossible for the people there to flee. Their WILLS have been taken over, their initiative/energy to act sucked dry. Many many people find themselves sticking to/allowing themselves to get stuck to bad, even self-destructive situations in life. I found that very realistic and an interesting depiction of the idea of how humans can become rooted to where they grew up, regardless of how counter-productive that behavior can be.

Lovecraft's encyclopedic knowledge of science and literature etc gives huge credibility to his stories.

One immediately detects the influence of Lovecraft on Sterling and King. Very nice presentation. Thx for the upload.

love everything about this, especially listening to it at night
Aye, tucked up all cosy with a few candles burning or just tucked up in the dark.
Being at home alone at night during a pandemic affecting our entire planet.
Something about this story seems almost prophetic.
I've only been watching for 30 seconds but, so far, this is amazing.
28:15
Ok... I think maaaybbe this isn't a story I want to listen to before sleep tonight so I'll continue this in the morning!
One of my favourite lovecraft story, Cosmic horror storys is really creepy and Lovecraft was very good at writing these kind of tales.
Also my favorite Lovecraft cant wait to see this take just finished this channel s work on Mountains of Madness and was amazed
deserves millions of views and subs
The best part about this story is the ominous ending, the narrator seemingly unfazed by the fact that they are going to build a reservoir above the infectious meteorite
The narrator did say he will never drink the water from the reservoir so he is afraid of possible contamination

I feel like the imagery is out of sync with the line reading images showing after what is being described has happened.
I noticed this in his other HP Lovecraft video, “The Temple”

@@jumpingeezus5080 might not be his native language and a translation error.
This is great visually, though subtitle would really help in following the story as English is not my first language and the accent is not that clear.
Especially since the entire text is freely available, it doesn't need to be transcribed.
The narrator is kinda killing it for me :/
I stumbled upon Lovecraft stories by accident, now I hooked. I have heard of Cthulhu and other monsters of the mythos in othe formats besides this.
Gou Tanabe is the artist, I didn't notice if he'd gotten credit? Or if credits run at the end.

Always find myself running outta breath when I read hp lovecraft lol his sentences can be quite full meaning long and descriptive
Well done!!!
Awesome 👏🏽
I wouldn't be suprise If Tanabe Gou also drew the frostpunk game cinematics
A borax bead test was used identify minerals. Shows Lovecraft's fondness of science. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_test

love the story!! subs thumbs and bells. watch those hard P's and th's tho! my only criticism:)
Moral of the story: When weird stuff starts happening, get out of there.
Something's off on this one, you've got mic pops throughout - likely caused by (too) close proximity to the microphone.
Thanks for the story. Can’t you make artwork match the reading next time? It seemed like it was either too early or two late most of the time.
The ambient music also helps, like the BBC play of ''At the mountains of madness'' and Fritz Libers Fafrd and the Grey Mouser with ambience (YT site Tales of weird) Dont worry MSA I have subbed you.
Why are men's names Mary and Annie? Makes the story confusing.
"METEOR SHIT!"
Please activate subtitles.
Great story, illustrations are a great touch, the readers accent...not so much
I think the Irish accent is rather in character.
great artwork- better if the art was synced to the dialogue though
You can slow down the video a bit to make it easier to process...
great reading of the story, however, my friend. YOU NEED A POP FILTER on that mic!!!!
Very enjoyable, although it sounds like the narrator needs to relax, breathe deep, and pace himself. Coming off a bit flat and tense.
get a pop filter. otherwise, amazing!
Oh hey Darkstar by lustmord
