      This story is very engaging. Okay, I'm sucked in every time that I read or listen to it. Mostly because of the cyclopean ending, but the story buildup makes the package whole. Curious? Movie worthy.

    I was so frustrated with the audiobooks as being read either too fast or without enough internal contemplation of the text. Your reading is just much more believable. An English gentleman laying out the story. Very authentic feeling. Much more even than the Lovecraft Preservation Society.

      I couldn't agree more.
      I tried to listen to 2 readings prior to this, and frankly they were awful. To paraphrase a Chinese proverb. Music is about the silence Inbetween the notes. The same can be said for narration.

    This is super awesome. I'm currently using it to practice my English pronounciation in an entertaining way by stepwise reading a sentence aloud and then listening to it on here. It also makes me appreciate the amazingly high skill that when into reading it, particulary the pacing and emphasis of the sentences and the little sub-sentences. Lovecraft seems to not use as many commas as modern day writers do, so the sentences can be sometimes challenging to deconstruct into nice understandable chunks.

      In all seriousness, I hope you can find some way to get through insomnia if you're truly suffering. Lack of sleep is no joke and people are all too often unaware of the detriment it is to a person's well being.
      Best of luck, and at least you have some great stories at hand to help.

  • @user-kn9gl9dt6l
    @user-kn9gl9dt6l Год назад +9

    Re-listening to this has brought a revelation to me, much like Lovecraft wrote in the beginning of this story, his works are much more horrifying when you've collected enough pieces from each one to link things in each story to every other story and horrible truth, which is why whenever I heard of shoggoths or the void where azathoth lays first, I didn't think much of it, but now I get goosebumps whenever someone mentions those malign and horrible flutes and drums that keep the demon sultan asleep, and the same goes for those nightmare creatures fashioned by the elder things.

    Perfect timing! I was just going to listen to call of Cthulhu on your channel about a week ago after I bought a collection of Lovecraft's most popular works, and the first volume of a manga version of "The Mountains of Madness" by Gou Tanabe. It seems he also has a manga version of The Call of Cthulhu as well, although I'm not sure if it's translated into English. I can read Japanese but the wording/kanji is quite difficult and mostly above my level of reading.
    And then, I see my favorite channel post a re-recording of TCoC. Truly perfect timing.

    Just a quibble about artistic renderings in general: Lovecraft described Cthulhu as having a face consisting of “a mass of feelers.” He never mentions eyes. Personally, I find the concept of Cthulhu as a being who doesn’t need conventional eyes, but rather relies on otherworldly senses, as more alien and creepier.

    • @ShoggothLord
      @ShoggothLord Год назад +6

      ​​@@ShoggothLord the "eyes" on the idol may not actually be eyes either. The idol was most likely created by human, driven mad they may be. Eyes would seem natural for a human to put on a statue to make some semblance of sense, but thats the opposite of what Cthulhu is. The things we mistook for eyes could just be some other type of organ, or maybe just bumps on the Old One's head. Hardened scales, perhaps?

    @HorrorBabble - First time listener and reader. Oh goodness, where to start. I could help put this story to rest. I wanted to tell them because there are 2 stories. My story is summed up, their math is wrong. It appears the writer is a friend. Hopefully that part of the story is like the math. Sounds like a mysterious death of the architect caused some unanswered questions. I'll answer one here, my son didn't put the green stone in his pocket. I did see it by the cabin. The 2nd of April 😊 my bride. She's amazing. 92yr old professor, my pops. Sad face woman in black, my mom. I made it home though. Again, 2 stories here. I tried to connect the dots for them when I found this place, untouched. It was wonderful for my brain to see the math, It made me stop. All this story is the same of broad impressions and angles. I tried to explain the geometry is wrong. The great barn door looks like round stone which rolls. It's perspective is off because they look backwards. I tried to show them from my phone but it's hard to tell this story I have lived. This is it, I would tell him Thank You for telling my story.

    I want this and the Dunwich Horror to be adapted into a TV miniseries so badly. I can see the vision in my head, but I don't have the money or connections to make it happen

    "Only poetry or madness could do justice to the noises heard by LeGrasse's men, as they plowed on through the black morass, toward the red glare and the muffled tom-toms. There are vocal qualities peculiar to men and vocal qualities peculiar to beasts, and it is terrible to hear the one when the source should yield the other."
    Excellent reading, my friends. May Cthulhu eat you last.

    Beautifully done! The only thing I have against it was the pronunciation of bas-relief. I was always taught that the “s” is silent.

      I think brittish people do it to irritate the French. Hahaha

      @@nsob8897 LOL But then they expose their closet Francophile side when they use “centre” instead of “center”, and many other examples of British predilection for French spellings.

      This comes up a lot. I've always said it with an extremely loud 'S'. I think it's okay either way: dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/bas-relief

    You DARE mess with perfection, sir?!
    How could you best your previous reading? Hahaha
    I can't wait to get off work in a few hours so I can listen to this.
    May azathoth bless you for making these fine readings.
    Well, having listened, it's good.
    Thanks again

      @HorrorBabble no?
      I can't think of a way to disagree with you without sounding like I'm fawning but, keep up the good work. It hasn't failed you yet.
