Yes. This had the telltale signs of Lovecraft. Awesome story. Enjoyed it. Take care Ian and Jenn. Thank you.
You never cease to amaze and entertain. Perfect listening for a quiet few moments in a crazy world.
IAN UR VOICE IS ABSULUTLY PERFECT 4 READING LOVECRAFT!!!! UR THE 1 THAT MAKES ME LOVE LOVECRAFT!!!! THANK U SO MUCH!!!!
Again, wondrous reading, Ian. Best to you and Jen.
Love it!!! Never enough Lovecraft. I keep finding him popping up all over radio dramas especially a group out of Seattle using his characters in modern situations. Great Work per usual.
Love how Lovecraft keeps us hanging, wondering what more did the ancient narrator say.
Oh yay this one takes place in Maine. I have family out there, spent my early childhood years there and was there myself last month. It’s always funny hearing horror stories that take place there

Maine is a beautiful state. I live an hour away in Massachusetts. I spent many childhood summers in Maine on Islesboro island. There are many fictional horror stories that take place in Maine. Especially in the towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Haven, and of course Derry where they all float. Though none of those towns actually exist. Except in the imagination of a certain author.
Just at the end, I was saying Oh Bless there is Peace... But No, it is Lovecraft after all 🤷🏼♀️. Pls don't think that the background to the video has not been unnoticed. Kindest Wishes.

@@charlesman8722 that is how Ian wrote A Haunting At Ravenglass and The Sleeper of the thingy thing. I don't think it is dignified to operate William Hope Hodgson's cadaver like a ventriloquist puppet...but Lovecraft probably enjoyed the company culminating in shouting at about Warren at passing fools.

Been a while, great opening, just read Randolph Carter to my daughter last night.
Sweet! Never read this one. Thank you for another great reading. 🎃🥃
Wow, always great picks👍

Never thought I’d see a Weird Al reference in the comm section of a horror video. Lol. Now I think I’d love to hear him do a Lovecraft parody…
Thank u so much these tales keep me sane during my boring nite job.
'Warren, Warren' .It's always about Warren. What about MEEEEE😭
This channel is such a nice environment.. I'll be coming back
Great reading, I wish that H. P. L. had done more with the Dream Quest Cycle, they will always be my favorites of his works, such a masterful amalgamation of fantasy, horror and mind bending sci-fi all in the realm of dreams....(Sigh), speaking as one who has, indeed, grown weary of the ways of the modern world, I fully empathize with Randolph and his desire to find the gleaming spires of long lost childhood realms. 😧😔😴
You guys never fail to impress. Frank Muller level, so god level narrative skills.
Pitch perfect as always
Amazing work
What a deliciously deceptive title, and expertly read!
I like the cassette wheel spinning! : ))
Love it.
Pretty cool one, i like its deep mystery and dream like feeling
Steven King must be an eldritch God going back in time to influence other writers to write horror stories set in Maine

Nobody: Warren, listening to this video:
Here’s another suggestion for you. How about you do a biography of Lovecraft? I think you’d have a very good perspective given how many stories you’ve read.
That were a strange one. Not sure I got it - was he supposed to be in some version of hell ? The book sounded like the ones the cone-things your mind goes into when one of thems is using your body use

Stethelos is a part of the Dreamlands, below the Great Cataract but not quite so far as you may need to go to find the moon - mentioned by Iranon in "The Quest of Iranon", i'm not too sure if we hear about it elsewhere though.

Literature is literature. Exaggeration itself is a part of literature.
I feel kind of stupid because I can't figure out what the "Warren is dead" is referring to.
