    One of my favorite bits of this story is that Armitage is one of Wilbur's penpals and actually comes to visit him in Dunwich once. It makes way more sense why Armitage would let him in to read the Necronomicon, and why Armitage so quickly becomes a believer in what Wilbur might do with unfettered access to it. Also props to Dr. Morgan for insisting on repping the .700 Nitro Express, lol

    These are always so long and a bit hard to understand with the writing style, but that's my favorite part about them. It gives me a lot to imagine while I'm listening to it. It makes it the best stories to listen to while playing Minecraft.
    That's why I'm always down for audiobooks. The way they're read here is amazing. The added voice acting recently really elevates the experience too. Nice as always.

    I love the fact that since Alhazred was crazy and wirshipping the Old Ones, he wrote from their perspective and thus calls their reign 'summer' and mankind 'winter.' such a subtle detail in a book within a book within a sidepiece of a story supposedly all about Wilbur and the mad shit he does, but it just makes this whole world feel so much more alive.

    Yes! Finally getting to hear this. Got this also on Spotify under your account. But this is great to share with the boys

      This maybe far-fetched... but hope to hear from you your version-read of Nyarlathotep and The Hound... also by HP Lovecraft.
