Whenever I hear of the Plateau of Leng I think of that early early Magic: the Gathering card Library of Leng, not knowing for 20 years that it was a Lovecraft reference. "Skip your discard phase" indeed.

A fun footnote for anyone geologically inclined - the mentioned "Comanchian" period is no longer recognized, it was split up between the Triassic and Jurassic. The fact that Lovecraft mentioned it at all speaks to the fact that he knew his stuff for the time - all his geological mentions are pretty well researched.

I must have given more views to this than anybody, I have fallen asleep to this almost every night for the last 3 years

"They where men!" I think this is one of my favorite Lovecraft stories how he explicitly humanizes one of his creatures. First, for hours and hours, the Elder Things are presented as monsters, terrors. Then, at the very end, the narrator suddenly sympathizes with them: Despite their weird shape and nigh indestructibility, they are a biologic life form like us, with an intelligence not unlike our own, and quite relatable drives and motivations. That is a brilliant literary device: comparative horror. First show them as eldrich, alien and powerful. And then point out there are things that are scarier to them then they are to us. The entire narrative is written as a warning. But I don't think the narrator wanted to warn about the Elder Things, or even the Shoggoths. No, I think he wants to warn about the mountain to the south. And the things these immortal, antedeluvian monstrosites where TOO SCARED TO TALK ABOUT.

Great comment. I noticed that, too. I find it amazing that they fought many of the other creatures Lovecraft wrote about. Even more interesting is how they won some of the wars and had a truce, in their favor, from the others. They beat the Mi-Go and Cthulhu star spawn and drove them back. That is an amazing feat. Even cooler is how they fought with energy weapons, as told by the stories in the bas-reliefs. Imagine the terror in the camp when they woke up seeing their fellows being dissected. Such chaos!

He has a point, put yourself in the elder things position. You were caught in some catastrophic event, woke up surrounded by strange alien creatures that would undoubtedly be trying to kill you and have already dissected one of your companions, you fight free, try to understand just wtf is happening and try to get home only to find the entire world you once knew is gone. How would you react in such a circumstance?

It really helps with building a complex mythos. The stories aren't on their own, they are part of a shared world. People in them acknowledge that events from other stories happened, but it doesn't move the focus on there. As if those events are part of semi-common knowledge in that world. Or at least among those people dabbling in the mysterious.

I've listened to this so many times now! I love how you read lovecraft it's like someone else in the comments said. Most people who read lovecraft are really dry but you always make these readings feel alive. Everyone talks about how it helps them stay awake but this helps me sleep better than anything else. I love getting wrapped up in the adventure and falling asleep to this! I will pick it back up wherever I last remember before I fell asleep. Absolute classic of an audio book!

This is the first H.P. Lovecraft story I ever read. Really been looking forward to the new version. Thanks so much.

I absolutely love this story, like really love this story. There are, some details that I wish were more defined, and some plot holes I wish were more accurate and more specific. All in all I would say that "At the mountains of madness" is probably my third favorite book behind "Jane Eyre" and "Bram Stokers Dracula." Oh yeah by the way, "The things that came from Winters Hill," was pretty nice as well. The one thing I noticed about a lot of these stories is that they are very vague when it comes to the wonder of the story, and it always disappoints me. I guess I like iron clad facts about my cosmic entities.

Wonderful, the quality of Lovecraft's work and the efforts of all whom from writers to film directors to musicians to comic publishers to TV producers to video game studios to you name it who have expanded on HPL's amazing mythos. Thank you, Horrorbabble!

There's so much to love from this and I thought about time stamping a couple of spots but 4:17:12 is the stuff that makes the Lovecraftian genre what it is. Tells us "shoggoths and their work ought not to be seen by humans" then goes on to describe them in that way so particular to Mr Lovecraft's style of horror. I love this so much!

The peaks within, strange, mystery shut in by the stoic ridges, desolate empty landscapes of self denial, and ice cold that pierces like frost ridden iron and cuts rough and deep like jagged steel. Perhaps the reason behind our being is to explore, probe. We struggle endlessly against the challenge of the unknown, but perhaps it is better we leave it. The horror could be of squamous writhing presences, or perhaps a void that we are powerless to fill and impotent in the shadow of. Most dangerously, the horror could be that we are more similar to the abominations that lurk at the edge of the light, inhabiting the lupus hour in endless night, than we wish to admit. Very passionate reading, Ian. More dynamic and vocal. Less detached than the previous reading, and I enjoy the addition of vocal effects in the radio transmissions. The ambient noise comes in later, but the ambient sound of wind in the first few parts would be welcome.

Truely a fine addition to your collection

Classic.What I like about this, is 40 years later I can read so much more into it.

Ian!! Thank you so much for this! Listening to this at 11:00 at night so I’m ready for spookiness

I've been waiting for this forever Mr Gordon, cannot wait to listen tonight. Thank you for all of your incredible work.

Thank you so much Ian. This is iconic Lovecraft. A grand reading as usual. Your dedication to excellence speaks volumes and engenders the support you celebrated with this story. Thank you once again.

I’ve been listening to all the stories at work. And it’s been fantastic. This is, sadly, the last HP Lovecraft story here that I’ll listen to. I’m glad it’s 4 hours long. Thanks for all the effort that went into making these. They made my days at work so much better.

one of my favorite lovecraft stories, thanks.

Mr HorrorBabble scales the true Lovecraft Leviathon. Well done sir! I put this into my library of the macabre together with your rendition of The Dunwich Horror.

Thank you, just thank you... I've fallen asleep to this several nights running but take that as a compliment. I have never read the book but heard a BBC radiocast that was good but by the nature of radio incomplete. Your voice has made this story complete 👌

My absolute HPL favourite! A haunting masterpiece of a tale.

So happy I found this channel. It's been hard for me to read

Listening to this as the wind howls like mad outside.

Just stumbled upon this. I've tried listening to audiobooks before and not liked them, but I enjoyed listening to this. The calm voice combined with Lovecraft's use of language just works very well.

I listen to your channel almost every night as I sleep wild fun crazy dreams ,👍👍

Got a funny feeling, & checked subscriptions. & found this, 53 seconds since upload. A pleasant surprise indeed :3 Thank you Horrorbabble

Subscribed! Reminds me of my youth as a page working in the library of the Blind. I had the distinct pleasure of listening to great works of fiction and non-fiction while I shelved braille and recorded books. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this offering and your hard work Ian. Love this book, so happy to listen to your reading.

The mound and Dunwhich horror are my favorites

If I had money, I'd donate large sums in a heartbeat, you're one of my favorite youtubers keep up the good work

I watch this as a bedtime story quite often lol Ian is the best voice for Lovecraft stuff.

Still sends chills. Fantastic Redux!
