  • "The Transition of Juan Romero" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in Marginalia, a 1944 Arkham House collection.
    I recorded this one to include as part of THE HORROR THAT LURKS BENEATH. The collection was uploaded to RUclips, March 14th 2024. This standalone recording has been a members-only release, until now.
    Narrated by Ian Gordon for HorrorBabble

    I think, with the release of this story, there are only two Lovecraft tales not covered on this channel.
    Ian deserves a big pat on the brain for his Lovecraft love, and sharing this goodness with all of us.

    HPL actually was working with Juan Romero on Wolfenstien 2D, before John Carnacki, the code-finder joined the team.

    I don't recall this one, so a pleasant surprise.
    It's a strength of this channel that even though Lovecraft is pretty much mined out by now there's still plenty of great stuff still to go at and that's even without the new and original stuff.
    Nonetheless it's with certain vague sense of melancholy that we've no more or less reached then end of Lovecraft at this point.

    Ian, please help me. You told a short story once about someone who went into a haunted house and became lost and couldn't find their way out; it was pitch black and the person had to find their way out by feeling around. There was also a chair that he kept bumping into. Every time he turned a corner it led to the same hallway over and over.
    I can't find the story and have been looking for awhile, do you know which one I'm talking about?

    • @tense99
      @tense99 2 дня назад

      Based on his correspondence many of his racial views ranged from controversial to racist even back then though his experience with other races was limited and based on beliefs that were themselves becoming controversial and archaic. Unfortunately he didn't live long or perhaps experience and the debunking of some of those beliefs over the next decade or so might have taught him different.
