    Lovecraft once said he intended for The Outsider to be a sequel to this. I think what's going on is that Harley Warren wasn't killed by the undead things in the tomb, he himself is also undead, kept alive artificially like Dr. Munoz or the zombies from Reanimator. He's researching incorruptible corpses because, like Dr. Munoz before him, his body is still decaying and he's looking for a way to stop it. He fails and when we see him again in Outsider, not only has he deteriorated into a grotesque zombie, his brain has also begun to rot which is why he's lost his memory.

    The reread is waaaay better, if that could be conceived to be truth! Your timbre in the original reading is more than adequate but you’ve nailed both the phonetics and the delivery this time. A very, very good listen that’s easy to digest despite the relatively obscure and jarring language structure Howard used.
