    Lovecraft really had a knack for the recurring theme of ancient ruins made by non-human civilizations that are largely dead and abandoned, yet something still remains. Whether its the Nameless City in the Middle East, the Elder Things capital in Antarctica, or the underground Yith archives in Australia, you can practically feel like you're there just by reading. Cosmic horror-meets-haunted house atmosphere.

    I find the idea that there canonically will still be a human empire of some sort in 5000AD to be a shocking ray of hope in Lovecraft’s universe, given the number of world-ending cosmic horrors around.

    I always felt that Professor Dyer must have been some sort of glutton for punishment. He got chased around a ruined Old One city by an annoyed Shoggoth and then, knowing everything about Peasley's story, he's like "ruined alien city in the middle of nowhere? Yeah cool, what could go wrong?"

I find I would have been one of those gathered around to catch every word he spoke. There are a couple of his works that have been so insightful to the race of men and their musings, fears and fantasies. All in all he is not to be dismissed. God bless you all.

    It's a shame that so many writers today lack the eloquence of language of the old authors.Because of the density of vague adjectives,and the little known scientific theories of the time make it difficult to both pronounce the words and appropriate vocal inflections. I grew up with these,and the gothic horrors,and fate magazine. I enjoy the grammar, still.Well read.

    Thank you as always, these have been such a treat for me and you do it in such professional manner, too.
    I know Lovecraft tends to leave things vague but this is the only one so far whose ending is a blank for me. I didn't understand how he made it out at all.

  • @swamplight79
    @swamplight79 5 лет назад +4

    Ive just discovered your excellent work.
    In my humble opinion- the quality of your reading of H.P. Lovecraft is on the level of Alexander Scourby's reading of the King James Bible.
    I am truly grateful for access to talented work like yours.
    Thank you.

      Wtf...odd. Your a Christian who enjoys Lovecraft? That's rare n surprising. No matter how good the reader i will most likely never waste time with that awful atrocious "book" ever again. Holy & written by god my ass. Lol
      Still...what are your other interests? I can't even guess.

    This story is why I always carry not only a mini-flashlight in my pocket, but a spare battery for it. You never know when you might find yourself trapped deep underground in some cyclopean city of horror and madness, in utter darkness, with the light of your torch slowly dimming as the battery fades.
