I don't know how many innovative ideas Lovecraft came up with, but glow sticks, complete nutrition in a pill, and invisible walls like force fields resonate today. Lovecraft was popular in the 1970s with my high school buddies and pleasantly surprised when friends 40 years younger than me also enjoy him.
This story's ending reminds me of a prospector during the Australian gold rush who dug and dug and found nothing. Disheartened, he shot himself. His colleague decided to bury him in the hole he'd been digging, and in the process found a nugget the size of a football. Just two more shovelfuls down

I've recently taken to listening to all of H.P. Lovecraft's work and I'm thrilled to find most of it here. I love the style of the readings here and the consistency it lends to it considering most of Lovecraft is written as journal entries or recovered notes.
The fact that the maze had an exit is somehow even more grim than my initial idea that it was probably actively preventing egress by the morphing of it's walls. However, the real horror of the story lies in ''We shall follow his _saner_ suggestion of *G E N O C I D E''*
I read this story in high school in the early 70’s. I had no idea it was by Lovecraft. I didn’t know he did science fiction like this. I’m used to his cosmic horror.
Damn i cant even comprehend that people read his work in early 70s and now ive read it in 2023. This just shows how brilliant his writing is, its timeless
I’ve been reading HP Lovecraft’s work for years and somehow never read this story. I would love to hear a dramatic adaptation with Ian narrating! Maybe sometime in the future? 🙏🏻
Great story and narration! I wish he wrote more Sci-Fi. This is an excellent story that I always enjoy reading or listening to. The plot is really interesting. I have always loved the theme of exploration, especially interplanetary. Leave it to Lovecraft to require us to need a pad and paper to take notes of measurements and to perform calculations. I always chuckle when I read or listen to this and I hear the measurements and dimensions. I tried to figure the math out and make a map of the place the first couple of times I read this. I gave up and just kick back and enjoy it now without worrying about the equations, dimensions, and math. The intelligence of the creatures by creating the maze is astounding. I like how the narrator morphs from thinking they were dumb and ignorant to acknowledging how intelligent and forward-thinking they are. Great job!
Lovecraft definitely didn't invent anything. Just listen to his all time favorite story "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood from 1907. It's here on HorrorBabble and it's fantastic.
Me:”invisible maze like structure” *thinks* My friend:”like that barrier block maze that you trapped me in, in Minecraft?” Me:”oh yeah! Exactly what I was thinking.”
Listening to this whilst designing a logo in Adobe Illustrator CS6 on a Virtual Windows 10 Computer on a Mac. I love listening to these stories whilst doing visual stuff such as art or graphic design. Your voice is still very cool, intriguing if you could get it insured like how some of those models get their legs insured.
He could had just done the age old spelunking method when one gets lost in a cave. Hug the far-most left wall as he felt about until he worked his way out of the maze the only way this would fail is if that wall simply led him in a circle, in which case he simply could just switch to the far-most right wall at some point upon realizing the error and from there resume his efforts.
I like this story because the main character is smarter than me, braver, tougher, and more a more studious note-taker. So the horror works better than a scrawny fainter.
He was already thinking of civilization on Venus. Although he didn’t know Venus had no moon, then again it’s an alternative universe where there are specific definable laws to the universe and all laws of science are secluded to specific planets so he may have known. Not sure.
@Gary Lorette /whooosh you didn’t get the joke did you? Look at the OPs screen name, the joke is that Howard Lovecraft is praising his own work in the third person (yes I know lovecraft is dead...it’s a joke)

One of Lovecraft 's rare SF story (Colour Out Of Space could be considered another one). And yet it didn't make it any less horrifying in its conclusion.
Your channel sure has a knack for quality readings. I'm pretty sure I could listen to you reading the phone book and still be mesmerized. Have you ever considered doing "The Touch of Pan" by Algernon Blackwood? It's one of my favorites, not really horror, but definitely supernatural and wild.
Discovered this story as a teen. I'm still blown away by the originality and the horror of it all these years later. I also love how Lovecraft, who is usually recognised as a reactionary and a white supremacist author, is implicitly criticising colonialism, which still existed in his day, in this story.
@@esecallum Because the story would be over too quick. Besides there probably wouldnt have been enough, you couldnt make enough cable to chart a maze out of one guys clothes. Better than nothing though. What he should have done was always turned left. That's how you solve any maze, stick to the left wall. Eventually you'll get out.
'Ian Gordon' is going to be HUGE ; probably the first truly big $ audioBookNarrative STAR..... In 5years he will be making 5k-10k even 100k to narrate the "Stephen King topBestsellers"
Wonderfully rendered as always! I wonder if Clarke Ashton Smith and HP shared their musings on the nature of Venus? There are so many similarities between how CAS described his version of Venus with the colossal ooze creatures.
If you like Walls of Eryx check out Clark Ashton Smith's Vaults of You Vombis, The Immeasurable Horror and the Abominations of Yondo. Similar interplanetary subject and style of writing.
But he did that early on, trying to gauge their height. It just ran down, "disappearing with surprising rapidity" or something like that. My niggling question was -- plain of mud and weeds, walls that extend farther down than he could dig, and yet there's no trace of them in the mud itself, no outline? Fantastic read as always, hadn't heard of this story before.
It seems like the two deaths were more a result of hubris and panic than from the maze actually being impossible to navigate. And I don't think the natives were actually trying to help him so much as observing his death, unless, in his growing delirium, he failed to recognize certain patterns in the way they were gesticulating. I don't agree that they should be wiped out, however. That's hardly necessary.
@@esecallum Well, that would have required him to be intelligent and resourceful, and he clearly wasn't either of those. I think panic also got the better of him and clouded his judgement. If you let panic take hold, you can really screw yourself over. Also, the corpse should have been a dead giveaway that the area was dangerous. The smart thing to do would have been to leave and come back with better equipment and some backup. If you're dealing with an invisible structure, you should be taking the possibility of invisible traps and other things into consideration. I think the story illustrates how greed and shortsightedness can get the better of you.
@@patrickleighpresents749 Well he look LOOK IN his pockets found nothing and dead guys stuff and clothes /equipment would have been obvious. even a thread.
@@patrickleighpresents749 he had plenty of time to do so judging by the number of chlorate tablets and food tablets. i get the impression the maze was NOT STATIC but was being reconfigured so that the doorways kept changing...
I wasn't bright enough to think of this myself, but if there are invisible walls that run beneath the ground's surface, shouldn't there be ruts in the soil where the walls are? The area occupied by the wall would look empty, right? Either way, excellent narration, as always.
Might just look dark, because, although the wall is invisible, jt would still be dark a few inches down, so I reckon you'd still have to dig to know where it stopped.
Oooooh I love this story, it's always been a favorite, and having it read aloud makes it TRIPLY creepy. Imperialist plunderer gets his.... Oh, goodness. What a nightmare! LOVELY JOB!!

Felt the same way, I think madness was the true enemy here and to think he had such a plentiful resource of mud to draw on the otherwise invisible walls
Have listen to this for many times now over the years and I have finally come to the conclusion. That this one is the most horrible way to go in any of Lovecrafts works its on high with "the Pit and pendulem" in terms of cruelty 😅

Playing No Man’s Sky and farming storm crystals on a small planet with toxic rainstorms while listening to this... 😳
given the stormy conditions needed to do that must've added an extra eerie ambience

8:20 so the time he escaped from the hallucinogenic venus flower was 4 20... Wow. Lovecraft truly was ahead of his time!
I half expected the ending to be the native's account about how they tried to gesture to him how to get out but he didn't seem to understand them!
I think that is what what happening, there is nothing to say this wasnt true.

When you are the grandfather of body horror, psychological horror, and modern science fiction, but people won't shut up about the name of a cat.
Lovecraft definitely didn't invent anything. Just listen to his all time favorite story "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood from 1907. It's here on HorrorBabble and it's fantastic.
I mean to be fair, he is not any of those things. He’s a taken and hugely important writer but like he’s not what you just said really.
My personal Lovecraft favorite. Wonderfully written, and immaculately narrated. Thanks!
This is one of the top five Lovecraft stories that I like. It's quite good.
After a long day at work it was good to listen to this. Thank you.
WOOOOHOOOO this was in the first Lovecraft anthology I read. Great to hear it aloud after all this time!
Good old fashioned Carter Brand products! they just don't make xenoatmospheric equipment like they used to.
The absolute last offering that Fate decreed Lovecraft would give the world. Beyond this, it was just "collaborations".
Love it! My favorite short story
Me:”invisible maze like structure”
*thinks*
My friend:”like that barrier block maze that you trapped me in, in Minecraft?”
Me:”oh yeah! Exactly what I was thinking.”
This story, what a fine goad to young people about the vital importance of exercising one's memory and attention to details.

Lovecraft: "These crystals belong to Venus, and Venus alone."
Space Marine: *checks flamer, loads bolter, says a prayer to the Emperor*
Fabulous offering! Lovecraft is awesome! Thanks for this!

Been waiting for this one for so long ... Thank You!!!
Thank you so much, this is one of my favourite Lovecraft stories. Always reminds me of a Clark Ashton Smith tale
A truly remarkable tale and an awesome reading. I must say what a turn of events. This was a really good story.
I've been waiting for you to do this one. I could never remember the name of it but I really enjoyed it the first time.

I like this story because the main character is smarter than me, braver, tougher, and more a more studious note-taker. So the horror works better than a scrawny fainter.

this tale was very alike the pit and the pendulum by edgar allan poe a great study on despair by lack of local awareness
I never thought Lovecraft would have an anti colonialist message, but here we are
#1 Follow a single wall until it inevitable lets out.
#2 chop up the corpse and use bits of it as markers.
The ol' left hand wall rule. Classic dungeon crawl tactic.
He knew the way out, he chose to go deeper in for really no reason since it's all transparent, so you can see what it could have
This is a horror story, where we dont know the full capabilities of the maze, so you would fail.
Great choice
The real horror is this man is apparently going commando in a leather space suit
loved it Ian ,great narration
Much appreciated, Paul!
