Masterfully narrarated. H.P. Lovecraft was a brilliant teller to stories dark and mysterious. He has always held a special place within the unattainable shadows of both mind and soul.
The narrator's voice really suits both the setting (1920s America) and the educational and cultural background of the typical Lovecraft protagonist (well-educated New Englander with a rational materialist perspective)
I feel like the narrator is reading this in a sound booth with a lit cigarette in one hand, a flask of bootleg whiskey in the other, and a tommy gun laying in the table next to the microphone.
Scary? Nay! Not in the least. Cthulhu is a much better choice than the array of so-called gods that mankind presently worships. Let us light black candles and whisper hidden incantations to bring forth a new dark age that will snuff out the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faiths once and for all; let Him erase Allah, Jehovah, and Christ from the memory of the human species! ia ia Cthulhu f'tagn
When I was young, if Cthulhu called collect you could have refused the charges. I guess now you could block him, like those telemarketers trying to sell you extended auto warranties. (Seriously, I do enjoy Lovecraft and appreciate the story. People have unfairly made so much of woman fainting and going into hysterics, and in Lovecraft you have grown men who somehow get away with it and aren't slapped, sedated, or committed.)
i think you're supposed to pour brandy down their throat, instead of slapping them. at least that's what they're always doing in Sherlock Holmes stories. Ah, the 'good old days'
Like, if you have had a dream like this: You are alone, it matters not where. A school, a church, or an empty street or allyway. A thick fog permeates around and sticks heavy in the air obscuring your vision and choaking your throat in rough coughs where you find no relief. A wet sucking or slurping sound is heard nearby, just out of earshot or reach and any attempts to saught out the sounds are in vain. Dripping of water on stone/concrete periodically hits elsewhere. You are on edge. But any and all attempts to speak are fruitless. Nearby you notice a small young boy selling matches. He's barely illuminated by what free light remains of the nearby bar. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to you, his eyes watch your every move.
It's 3am, and I'm relaxing in my easy chair with a pipe and a Scotch listening to this, and hoping that some long lost Cult of Cthulhu can hurry up and open the celestial gate that allows the Great Old Ones to enter into our dimension, lay waste to human civilization as we know it, and wipe all of the current religions from the minds of man forever. There is only one Cthulhu, and He does not share power. By the power of the one and only Great Cthulhu, may Allah, Jehovah, and Christ be banished once and for all, into the abyss, never to be heard from again... EVER.
Cthulhu is waiting, in recent times there was a ping heard by many nations a mystery ping originating from the coordinates where the stone city is supposed to be, Cthulhu awaits to rise, him and his mountain tall and oddly skinny and moldy and bringing black with ooze
What is stranger even is that energy can not be destroyed and science has even proven that not are there no dead particles when we leave this meat bag we go somewhere else science does not know where only that we do do your own research if you doubt me or if you dare😮😮😮😂

Love this, best narrator for Lovecraft’s works.
He really does sound like what you’d think the narrators would sound like!

This narrators tone and cadence is cosmically godly.
Conrad Feininger
He's the perfect voice for reading Lovecraft!
@@robhaskins you, sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar.
It's monotone without actually being monotone. It's an odd contradiction

I fell asleep to this and had some weird dream about some strange city....
I gotta try that shit
So did H.P.
You are just barely awaking my friend.
Me too did your city have cobble stone streets with buildings on both sides kind of like a narrow ally way
I do this all the time. I love this guy's voice.

0:46 the horror in clay
18:31 the tale of inspector Legrasse
47:47 the madnes from the sea
Narrarator: "Mankind must never find out about what I have discovered."
*proceeds to tell a very detailed story about exactly what he discovered*
I love his writing but yes that's a trend with his stories lol that and abominably blasphemous mountain crab goo
It's almost as if we are inside his head.
that's a pretty simplistic view. Robert gets it
@@hllymchll The very first line mentions this is a manuscript written by the late narrator. Did you guys even make it past the first line? 💁♂️
@@drewwalbeck6006 yeah I just understand what it means haha
Who is this narrator? He is my favorite Lovecraft reciter.
Actually, Conrad Feininger. For Dudley Knight, search for "The Whisperer in Darkness."
He’s my favourite too :) his voice was made for reading Lovecraft.
wayne june beats them both
It's March 23rd. Time for strange voyages to R'lyeh.
"Ph’nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh, wgah’nagl fhtagn.”

listened to this whole thing at .5 speed with spacey ambient sounds in the background. Quite transporting.
he just sounds drunk lol
I feel like the narrator is reading this in a sound booth with a lit cigarette in one hand, a flask of bootleg whiskey in the other, and a tommy gun laying in the table next to the microphone.
23:40 this rant is legendary
I fell asleep to this and continued to see terrorizing images from my past hurray
This is so scary. Hp lovecraft is a great writer.
Scary? Nay! Not in the least.

the brave Norwegian drove his vessel head on against the pursuing jelly which rose above the unclean froth like the stern of a daemon galleon.

One of his best
Awesome narration!

I think Lovecraft did Morphine, then enjoyed the joy of Script and Nuance !
"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming".
Don't listen to this when doing homework as you won't remember any of this
Like, if you have had a dream like this: You are alone, it matters not where. A school, a church, or an empty street or allyway. A thick fog permeates around and sticks heavy in the air obscuring your vision and choaking your throat in rough coughs where you find no relief.

Lovecraft is so based. I can't

The missile knows where it is by subtracting where it is from where it isn't
was this recorded in 1925?
Only through magic, was a story, written in 1926, and published in 1927, get recorded in 1925.

The narrator's voice is reminiscent of Ken Nordine.
Azh tg hah Azhtghah god of control (Khqtah inexhaustible) but there`s some foolish horror to that (Goblin and Worm on rehab)
👍
thx
I think the narrator is Dudley Knight. If it is he is my favorite tellers of spooky stories.
I think this is Conrad Feininger.

Oh H.P. Your perfunctory propensity for prolific purple prose is plainly perpetual - right up there with your understanding of non-Euclidean geometry.
This is real life stuff.

That’s where the bloop was too, which is even creepier
Less creepy and more hopeful I'd say
