@@docwhammothis is truly remarkable lit right here. I appreciate you typing this. There is a whole wealth of super valuable knowledge here in only a few verses....mind blowing stuff
Good grief it's been ages since a long lovecraft got babbled!!!... thank you so much for making my last night before I return to work after 4 years off battling pancreatic cancer easier and more importantly enjoyable thanks guys
@@HorrorBabble thank you mate truly thank u honestly your superb work kept me busy during 8rounds of chemotherapy and cheered me up after so many surgeries... thank u for your part
My guy. I thank you sincerely for taking time out of your life to record audiobooks. Not only that, but if something so challenging as a lovecraftian novel. I love your voice, and wouldn't have a H. P. Audiobook reading done by any other. Absolute legend.
Ian you are a god among men and you bring lovecraft alive in ways I never could reading it myself, thanks for all that you do and keep up the good work! I’m about 3/4ths through your whole inventory of readings !
What a fine story! I had such a lovely evening listening to this sad tale, while cutting fabric for a garment. Ian, thank you for your flawless reading.
"Conscious destiny and the self-sufficiency of genius" is a pretty loaded phrase coming from such a disciplined writer. Also, people don't give H.P. enough for the quality of his bromance XD
@@NateB but that tone never varies within a given story. his characters never break the bounds of what he's chosen for them to be. his implacable void beasts remain a mystery to us throughout his work. his narrator's voice never breaks the fourth wall or gives up the tension for an easy conclusion or a laugh. if you compare it to the people who came afterwards and picked up his mantle, they were far more willing to indulge in things that a more disciplined writer wouldn't. he chooses his path and his plan and his destination and he doesn't diverge from it, even when it might have value to him outside the story. or if he does, he rewrites the entirety of the piece so we never see it. and i think it's a big part of what makes him so successful and such an identifiable story teller. No one sounds like the guy, even when they try, and i think that's why. (bars lol) his voice is not contained to a single story. it's become the voice of not only his stories but of his beasts and worlds and his ideas, even 100+ years later, and i think that's only possible because it never diverges. i don't know what else to call that but discipline. i think maybe you read "disciplined writer" as "disciplined tone" like a lady prison warden?
@@micahfoley9572 Your post is one of the best and most insightful summaries I have ever read of what makes Lovecraft so superior to all other fantasy/horror writers. If anything, his lurid adjectives are a demonstration of extra discipline, just for the work they represent to flow with the text without blandness, snags or repetitions.
I must say that this is one of my very favorites. It has such a good framwork and lead-in: the whole background in public health, the official status of the villain, everything. It makes the "horror" much more interesting. Sort of like Ian's own grounding of many stories in a palpably felt village, with weather, pub, food and all. THANK YOU!
I had never heard this one prior to your reading. It is quite good. I enjoyed the interactions between the variety of developed characters and a uncharacteristic (but welcome) emphasis on ‘mundane’ drama.
been away for the weekend and come back to a 2h Lovecraft reading, that will help get me through the morning catch-up at work :). excellent narration as always thank you
Paul in one of Ian's narrations, I distinctly remember the phrase "we ejaculated together", as in: "Golly,", we ejaculated together as the woman revealed her obsession with Dick to my Boy Scout troop.
It's like that line in Hypnos wherein protagonist and his companion were said to frequent gay parties to distract themselves from cosmic horrors they stumbled upon in their occult studies.
Probably with the original version being written by Adolphe de Castro. Lovecraft's collaborations are certainly more obscure. Good to hear from you, GMD!
WOW the rant at about 1:10:00 reminds me so much of the Institute from Fallout 4. Mindless experimentation, willful ignorance of suffering, serving the discipline without a thought of why they do what they're doing. Science without a clue as to its purpose.
I'm ready for this. Snuggled in , having given ghastly promises of dire consequences if any dare disturb my rapt attention to my horror addiction❗ Yes... I'm ready for my Gordon!‼❗💚🌵💚🐾🐅
This is a great story. Partly sad ending, but the world was saved! I loved the part when Clarendon knocked the two guys out at the prison. Your narration of Dalton's exclamation when Clarendon injected himself is priceless! Keep up the great work! Thanks for narrating this wonderful story for us.
Hey ian Straight up I listen to your horrorbabble hplovecraft and clark ashton smith titles everyday allday at work. And your voice still hasnt gotten old. I enjoy how you narrate Im allways waiting for your new shit. Ill be looking into some of the other authors I dont know
Ian, fantastic orator, conveyor of text, a mostly lost art. Truly appreciate the audio. I consume rapidly, speed reader, outstanding oratory allows more while doing other things. Most definitely will subscribe and share playlists, specific works. Ever consider, "Berserkers" by Saberhagan? Still one set of works implanted deeply in my memory. Very much appreciation, ✌, R
one story which Lovecraft was brilliant. the characters have depth and psychological nuances. and i just noticed that i already wrote a comment last time i listened. and holy whatever another one! i think three is a good number, so i’m leaving this one. stories about scientific endeavors always interest me :) 🧪beautifully done reading, Ian. 🐲🌷🌱
tortured story - if one can say it that way. he lived a tortured life. incredible tale. Lovecraft created interesting characters with real feelings. even the old servant had a feel to her. thanks, as always :) 🐈🐾🌻
I am surprised and delighted that Lovecraft wrote a story, even a reworked one, that was set in California and had a woman that wasn't his landlady or an inbred albino.
This story contains a description of how fake news arises. Very sobering. Refashioning another man’s story seems to have done wonders for Lovecraft’s style. Mentions of Yog-Sothoth: 1 Mentions of Atlantis: 3 Mysterious Orientals: several Mentions of Nyarlathotep: 1 Shub-Niggurath: 2 Alien geometries: 0 “blasphemously”: 1 “palaeogean”: 1 “cyclopean”: 1 Plus a handful of other refs to the Lovecraftverse
I love the alliterations Lovecraft throws in on Claronden’s helper, Sarama. “Sardonic skeleton, “cadaverous clinic man” lol P.S. Picture young Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Claronden. It’s kinda perfect.
For some reason that I cant put my finger on, I can never get all the way through this one. Ive made 3 tries so far. At some point I always zone out. It's the only Lovecraft story Ive ever had difficulty with.
Hi Edward! That's very generous of you. Perhaps the following link will be able to shed some light on the problem: support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/203913709-Become-a-patron-of-a-creator Let us know how you get on.
Did you guys make any changes to this story? We all like our Lovecraft (his writing even if we don't like the man himself) but let's face it by his own admission he's not that good with dialogue.

It's hard to beat Lovecraft's works. Thanks Mr Gordon for the readings, listen to them quite often.
i beat them with a tentacle. but you're right, it's hard. they're so slippery.

I love your voice, and wouldn't have a H. P. Audiobook reading done by any other.

I'm not saying Lovecraft's various prejudices ever make sense. But what the hell has he got against turtles??!
Penguins don't get any love either.
@@thumperpaul155 Penguins are violent, vengeful creatures with rugose eggs...

My definition of synergy: A great story is read by a great reader.
"Conscious destiny and the self-sufficiency of genius" is a pretty loaded phrase coming from such a disciplined writer. Also, people don't give H.P. enough for the quality of his bromance XD
Disciplined? His prose is turgid with luridity, and a clear example of telling “horrific and awesome” rather than just showing.
Not that I don’t enjoy it, but don’t pretend that it’s not self indulgent.
@@NateB but that tone never varies within a given story. his characters never break the bounds of what he's chosen for them to be. his implacable void beasts remain a mystery to us throughout his work. his narrator's voice never breaks the fourth wall or gives up the tension for an easy conclusion or a laugh. if you compare it to the people who came afterwards and picked up his mantle, they were far more willing to indulge in things that a more disciplined writer wouldn't. he chooses his path and his plan and his destination and he doesn't diverge from it, even when it might have value to him outside the story. or if he does, he rewrites the entirety of the piece so we never see it. and i think it's a big part of what makes him so successful and such an identifiable story teller.

Thanks, Ian. A very worthwhile couple of hours. I hope you're feeling better.

Brilliant, and brilliantly executed!
Hope your head feels better soon.
Thank ya Gov’na!
You are the voice I go to sleep to. Keep up the great work
This is one of my favorites of all time
This and "The Electric Executioner" are both very interesting. Adolphe de Castro had a very similar style of storytelling to Lovecraft, it seems.
U still are the best!!
So who else is listening to this in April 2020 and thinking... "Damn."
Thanks for the long video.
Get well soon.
Its both very interesting and weird to hear a story so close to home (geographically btw)
I've heard this story presented as "The Nemesis Of Fire". Is there a difference. I don't remember if there was.
Someone was playing Plague .Inc
I love falling asleep to your voice @horrorbabble
