Grave robbing for fun and giggles ... I'm getting the impression Lovecraft was at the E.A.Poe books again before he sat down to write this. Wonderful reading, and that last line is perfection. Thank you for all the work!
Grand drawings very good work. I personally love Lovecraft his prose is so carefully written. I see why authors go through 10 to 20 drafts before they publish a work even a short story. May America's horror literature continue in this high level of storytelling!
Incredibly perfect. Hard for sth to give me the chills these days but those Lovecraft PIECES OF ART you create do. Perfect composition of narration, graphics, music. The guys are super hot btw, as always from Tanabe ^^'
As a name 'Saint John' [5:48] is usually pronounced 'Sinjun', but the Saint responsible for Revelation wouldn't be out of place here. "The first living creature was like a lion... had six wings and was covered with eyes" [Rev4v7]
Oh yeah, you're bang on there lad, there was a public figure here in Ireland when I was growing up spelled Saint John but pronounced sinjun...sinjun gogarty ...
When I first read this I always thought that the body with the amulet was a previous victim of the hound. And his community had buried him with the amulet because the hound would come for whoever possessed it. Pretty sweet way to lock away a cursed object unless a couple dumbass grave robbers come and continue the chain of custody.
I believe that “St John” should be pronounced “sinjinn”. Why? A convention that goes back to before the Great Vowel Shift designed to identify those who went to English private schools from those who did not.
One of Lovecraft's most fucked up protagonists, if not the most. He knew what he was doing was beyond horrendous and abhorred his own detestable habits, but could not stop himself from indulging himself.
did you forget this was during a time where electronics didn't exist and people were poor as shit? Grave robbing was a way of life for many people at one point
Moral of the story (applies to archeologist and MOD/pentagon 'researchers')- SOME TOMBS'RE BETTER OFF LUFET UNDISCOVERED, LEFT ALONE AND ARE SEALED UP AND SOME ANCIENT TEXTS'RE BEST LEFT UNTRANSLATED FOR A REASON!!
*Hellhounds Don’t Like Grave Robbers* (although I also get Vampire vibes from this I mean they rob a grave then some winged beast in the night comes after them not to mention all the bats 🦇)

This narrator needs to put some feeling into reading. It's great for putting a person to sleep, but the flat, monotone reading removes any sense of spookiness or horror.
The way he used elegant words to craft stories is the best.
Probably one of the creepiest renditions of a Lovecraft story I've seen so far ... gave me chills
This is one of the most underrated and terrifying short stories from HPL and any to be honest. I can't find anything so terrifying!
😊yes
Nice job narrating and with the illustrations! Thank you for posting this!
Awww ... they found a Balrog puppy!
Love the way the artist has envisioned the two protagonists, sort of a Vampire Lestat vibe....
Narrator and illustrations were both superb.

Deffo see a lot of Poe in his earlier work.. I have the unfortunate opinion that this era of Lovecraft was his most enjoyable
An ancient terror once awakened will not peacefully go back to Sleep.
So basically, they totally got what was coming to them, nice
Grand drawings very good work. I personally love Lovecraft his prose is so carefully written. I see why authors go through 10 to 20 drafts before they publish a work even a short story. May America's horror literature continue in this high level of storytelling!
The music, illustrations and recitation are absolutely perfect. This is one of our favourite HPL short stories.
thank you for the great ambiance and visually and auditive reconstruction. you guys did a fantastic job
The comics are a great addition. Love this!
Beautiful illustrations, a well read story making a delightful sinister experience.
Goddamn I would never have drawn St. John that way. Bloody inspired!
I really love the Junji Ito influence of the art.
much more gothic and subtle tho

Lesson for today: don't rob graves
Mystery Hound approved 👍
I have in the past. Not worth the effort.
Most excellent and well done! This just made my Halloween, love it!
5:38 Hehe the design of the necronomicon is the same one from evil dead.
Wonderful video and reading! Thank you!
Wow very cool. Thank you. That made my night

This is the most scary story by H.P.LOVECRAFT after "The Lurking fear"! This is an original nightmare! Scary as hell!
This was a homage to Poe i believe.
You can tell because this story was written in a different way than most his other stuff.
Awesome just awesome storytelling
awesome channel! Great illustrations!
Awesome ❤

I wish they could add the music in the description, other then that everything is epic.
Awesome
I almost feel bad for the guy, he destroyed every item in his collection *EXCEPT* the legitimately cursed one...

This was awesome!
love it
MSA 21... I love you ❤️
This story groped my mind with fear dripping goullish hands... I could hear the booming howls that drove them mad....
Cool stuff!
The reader does an excellent John Malkovitch voice.
I perpetrate all kind of things I dare not acknowledge..
SUPREME

Well then I pass the test without having attended UK private school..I'm merely a super pretentious anglophile American
Sinjon where I’m from.

The narrative is Let's Read. He read true scary stories and creepypastas :).
You sound almost exactly like the english voice actor for Alucard from Hellsing
These two are going to end up on Forensic Files.
So, is it a winged hound or the titanic bats hauling that angry living hairy corpse around
the word is respite pronounced as respit with a short vowel on the i, not a long vowel that it looks like.
Damn, even the Lovecraftian beings frown upon grave robbing
How bored do you have to be to think grave robbing is a good hobby?
did you forget this was during a time where electronics didn't exist and people were poor as shit? Grave robbing was a way of life for many people at one point
Day 900 of quarantine here anything seems interesting now lmao
@@cobalt2257 ill go grave robbing with you. You can't knock it until you try it right? Besides im outa work and the dead can't get sick
@@nickmagrick7702 ... do you hear that? It kinda sounds like the faint distant baying of some gigantic hound...
There sohuld be a long running manga of all of H.P. Lovecraft's stories connecting to a bigger story arc, exploring and expanding upon the universe.
no
Well atleast a magna adaptation of the whole of Lovecraft's works in an anthology

where did you find this illustrations, is this a comic book?
it looks awesome. I would love to buy a copy of it.
it's the hound by gou tanabe
but it's not available online?
Look up Gou Tanabe on Amazon or another book site. His Lovecraft stories being releashed in the United States.
Grave robbers robbing peoples grave and collecting body's and parts and jewelry they got what they deserve Lovecraft had a dark mind indeed.
St John is pronounced "sinjinn"
Anyone else feel the connection between this and the song “Baying of the Hounds” by Oprah?
*reads edgar allan poe* hey, that crow is pretty scary too! Lovecraft and Poe? They are the same
Why do people in Lovecraft stories always tampering with someone's grave...
Ads every 5 minutes have made this impossible to listen to
Mmmmmm, this one smells like Bloodborne.
All of Lovecraft does
@@Cygnus0lor true.
Jesus, 4 ads in 15 minutes. I know you need paying but this is ridiculous
fixed
is the hound real or is it a figment of their imaginations?
Bruh
That's the point of Lovecraft, dude
Dammit! Just when i thought the Lovecraftian mind f*&k couldn't be more f*&ked. Well done.

I always thought Lovecraft was superior to Poe.
Not a universe of terror and decay!!! No!
Yeah, let's not bother trying to shoot the hound first huh?
It's the size of a hill and sleeps in a grave. You wanna shoot it??
@@Cygnus0lor If the only other choice is shooting myself, yeah.
@@Martial-Mat At least in the illustration St. John had a gun and was torn to shreds anyway.
@@CidGuerreiro1234 Yup

Jesus I love HP but he sounds like a pouty teenager sometimes.
Well given his life before he started writing... it's hard for him not to come off as one
Apparently Lovecraft himself hated this story after looking back to it.

You are an uncultured unappreciative putz with the mental and artistic depth of a shallow puddle.
He sounds so good and perfect... You no idea idiot fck off
