imagine me listening to this, years ago. i was cleansing lab buildings starting at 3am, so i would get up past 1 or 2. I would jog to the place, passing forests, a huge montrous church, going over a bridge, historic solid buildings -then before i would enter the abandoned high society neighborhood in which the 90s lab building was set at, i again would pass a forest. during and before work, i would feel wandering spaces "untouched". seeing various animals up close was common, but what unnerved me, where invisible clouds of warm and cold air, in the middle of nowhere -or when i would exit the building after work, and feel warm air, putting a strange pressure upon me. or that one time, i woke up past midnight, raised my kundalini -but then felt strangely empty, no desire no nothing, i felt serene and dead. i went to work, then at some point i saw my reflection in the many loong floors, the reflection frightened me, idk why -and this fear of this imitation drove back my desire feeling of being myself.

Be nice if he pronounced Innsmouth correctly. The accent is heavier on the first syllable than the second. *INNS*muth, not Inns*MOUTH*. Also, the second syllable is pronounced "muth", with a very soft "u", unlike in a word like butter. There isn't really another pronunciation like it, other than English named geographical locations. Investigate the pronunciation of words like Portsmouth Dartmouth. Just type it into Google. It's not hard. I'm off to find another audiobook; I'll never get to sleep otherwise

If you want something longer than his short stories, look up The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward, or The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath. The first is a horror story involving a colonial era necromancer and his descendent. The second is a fantasy tale set in the dream lands, rather like an alice in wonderland-meets-middle earth. If youre willing to expand beyond just lovecraft, i recommend The King In Yellow. It’s a collection of short stories, the first 4 of which are excellent horror and psychological tales revolving around an evil play that drives people crazy if they read it. It inspired lovecraft 2 decades later. Next, The House on the Borderlands. A creepy story about a guy who slowly loses his mind as a gateway to a pig-demon dimension opens up in his backyard. Last, an Algernon Blackwood short story called The Willows. 2 kayakers go down the danube river, but they begin to believe that something otherworldly is stalking them. You should know there are a few non-lovecraft stories written by his friends and peers that take place within the innsmouth universe and timeline. The fisherman of falcon point by august derleth directly mentions the events from this story. It’s also worth noting that there are some fun playthroughs on youtube of a game called call of cthulhu: dark corners of the earth (i think). You get to see innmouth in a 20 year old game. There’s also a terrrible european film called dagon, but it is essentially a bad adaptation of this story. Last, if you have a computer you can get tabletop simulator on steam for like 10 bucks. Once u get it you can (completely free) get every fantasy flight games’ lovecraft files board and card games. Instead of paying a thousand bucks for all of them total, you just click which one you want to play through Tabletop simulator and it gives you a 3D rendered version of the actual card and board games to play solo or online. I dont agree with fantasy flight’s politics, but since they dont get a penny i dont mind telling you that tabletop simulator version of FFG’s whole library really opened me up to lovecraft.

I love Lovecraft, pun intended. Those kids who listen to creepypastas have never heard of good, classic horror. They really seem to believe Slender Man, Jeff the Killer and the Rake are the best thing since sliced bread. If this Jeff is really such a fearsome killer, why woud he have to call himself the Killer anyway? Classic horror story/movie killers like Leatherface, Michael, Jason and Freddy never had to add The Killer behind their names, because their actions spoke for themselves.

Just spectacular. Lovecraft was a genius. Impeccable writing and the story grows more captivating with every passing chapter before blowing your mind with its conclusion. RIP Howard.

But in cases of dispute like that I say rules of pronunciation defer to the preference of the locals.. Apart from that, though, this is really a perfect reading of Lovecraft.

I always wanted to be a writer ever since i was in jr high school long LONG before id heard of this man, but that dream died many years ago. Maybe its ime i try again. This trying aomething original. Starting small. Im terrible when it comes to actual writing. I struggle with structure and ven wording but ive been told by friends i have a creative gift by friends. I wouldnt expect anything serious to come of it. A simple hobby as it was so many years ago. I think lovecraft speaks loudest to those who think "i could never do that" because according to him neither could he. Yet here we are. Absolutely love the mans stories. Too bad he was never really recognized in his own time. Also a great and terrible shame he died before his time, but at least his legacy lives on. What a boss. Now ive got tons of thinking to do.

I was going through audiobooks and yours by far is the best on here. Great voice and the effect of the mic almost makes one belive like they're hearing it through a radio like they used to back in the day.

genius sheer genius - easy to understand almost all horror literature was affected and/or inspired by the works of H P Lovecraft afterwards.

Yes, Lovecraft was truly brilliant. Thanks for listening!

I have yet to hear a single H P Lovecraft story read by this narrator that is nothing short of brilliantly atmospheric

I'm really glad I found this channel or page whatever you call it cause it seems that you(Intellectual Exercise) have the same taste in writers, we couldn't afford to pay for Scribid any more and we need a good audiobook to help us get to sleep and thankfully you had your books up and he got really excited when I began to read the authors off and I told him I'd thank you for it! Thanks very much and stay safe during this covid -19

Great reading of a great story by lovecraft.

Thank you so much! I've tried to listen to other recordings of this but yours was the only one i didnt fall asleep to! I love your voice!! It made me chuckle a little though when you did old Zadok's scream. Eeeeeee aahhhhhh............

that was enjoyable - I had quite forgotten that the story has a happy ending^^ how nice :d

This story freaked me out the first time, thanks for the upload

I kind of wish there was a TV show that based itself in Lovecraft's world and his stories and lore.

I hope so. But the chance is probably slim to none.

Pretty good deal those Deep Ones give you. Gold jewelry, all the fish you can eat, a new life as an immortal amphibian man, and the chance to destroy human civilization. Easy choice IMO

I don’t wanna live in Innsmouth no more, I don’t wanna die in a racial war I wanna swim away to the Devil’s shore And live like a fishman!

Best horror author of the 20th century. I wish Lovecraft had lived into the 1980s he would marvel at how much listeners like me love his prose style and word choice. Authors ignore careful wording it matters how you use language in telling a story.

Jesus Christ! I had to turn the lights on in my room, and I've _still_ got the heebie jeebies. I'm paused at the end of chapter 3. I can tell it's only going to get worse.

What an amazing voice this gentleman has. He was born to read Lovecraft, especially this tale, Lovecraft's finest! Does anyone know his name? There's another narrator whose voice fits Lovecraft perfectly that this channel has uploaded many recording s of, would be interested to know his name also.

I just finished listening to C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength. Highly recommended if you like weird tales that border on the prophetic, and he was unquestionably a master of the English language, but Lovecraft really does us Yanks proud.

I wondered if there was Lovecraft audio books on youtube, NEAT!

Oh man this guys recording method feels like I'm listening to the book in like the 40s

however good of a read that was, the old man's scream when the old ones see them talking is the lamest done scream I've heard in my entire life lol

Awesome voice , so enjoyable. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I find it kind of funny how I have difficulty listening to the narrator for prolonged periods; however when he spoke lije the drunk old man I had no difficulty at all!

Hp lovecraft tends to not focus on hero's issues or villain' s issues more like an alien Darwin kinda thinking , but on a sentient level.

Could you imagine being an employee at what is essentially 1920's Walmart IN INNSMOUTH! You: "That'll be $12.49 sir." Innsmouth shopper: incomprehensible eldritch gibbering You: "For the fifth time, sir, we do not accept R'ylethian gold."

Thank you for sharing this,its fantastic ❤️
