This was one of the first Lovecraft stories I read as a preteen, and it left me deeply unsettled for years. It's still one of my favorites that he's written.
Lovecraft's writing is special in the same way Pickman's art is described...he doesn't need jump scares or blatant gore...his eloquence and imagination taps into the latent instincts of suspense and terror that are part of our DNA...that's what makes his writing so special and unique. Thank you for this wonderful rendition, Mx.
i used to really like Lovecraft as a kid but i stopped reading in general because i dont make good decisions. these voiceovers made me remember how good Lovecraft is, so i gotta thank you for It even if the video is a joke. I'll see if i can find my old Lovecraft books!
Thanks!! It's about 35% joke at this point. I really like how a lot of these turn out and I thought it'd be cool to share it with the world. I've had some comments that say this is their first time hearing Lovecraft and I think that's really neat too!
@@Alaylex I've never read his books before but I've listened to a couple. I've been binging my way through your channel in the last week, it's excellent.
The best CAS reference, in my opinion, is the 'Atlantean High Priest Klarkash-Ton' in The Whisperer in Darkness. He was said to have preserved Tsathoggua legends, and that deity is CAS's invention (The Seven Geas).
I've read this story many times but I've never laughed at the phrase "bricked up" until Daggoth Ur read it to me.
I heard that and I thought about how If I had to read this for a class everyone would be laughing.

dagoth's voice and these stories is like pairing the perfect cheese with a fine wine

Favorite Lovecraft story
Pickmans Model was my favorite story for a while. It wasn't until recently just this year I read rats in the walls.
I like the mention of Clark Ashton smith

His voice is all at once unsettling and reassuring
A comforting story with a nice ring to it
Close your eyes and really envision this one
Would you be inclined to do Hebert West the reanimator at some point?
the guys name was Dick Pickman
He drew lewds that he couldn't share with anybody.
