    One of the best Lovecraft's tales! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny one Spanish doctor's name was 'Muñoz' & the other one 'Torres'. 'Torres-Muñoz' is a pharmaceutical company founded by the time the tale was written & that still exists in Spain! They make pharmaceutical salts. 😀 Thank you for the narration & was enjoyable with the Spanish accent! 🙏☺

    I first recorded this 5 weeks ago, but my voice was all wrong, so I abandoned the whole thing. This version is far, far better. Don't blame me for the fake Spanish accent - Lovecraft wrote the words exactly as they were meant to be pronounced:
    "He ees too seeck for doctair heemself"! I did my best!

    Rod Searling's "Night Gallery" had "Cool Air" as an episode starring Henry Darrow as Dr. Munoz.

    I feel sorry for Dr. Muñoz; he didn't hurt anyone intentionally, he just didn't want to die. He was intelligent too, able to stave off death for 18 years.

    Probably my favorite Lovecraft story.

    Poor doctor and poor humanity, always trying what they can to evade the inevitable. Like Madeline in Blackwell Epiphany said once "since the humanity crawled out of the ocean, they started to deny death". And in the end the results are always catastrophic. Moore used this in Providence, in the first volume of that amazing comic! Thank you very much for posting this, really, good job!

    @Gisburne2000 Thanks for reading it to us, Nick. I always got the shivers from this tale. It has a unique atmosphere, like the Music of Erich Zann. I have a lot of Lovecraft audio but missed this one. Till now. If you feel like it, Please read "The Thing on the Doorstep" for us. That one is missing too, and I would love to hear it.
    If you would like to listen to other Lovecraft audio, let me know, and I will send you some links

    I don't know if it's just me, but I feel really bad for the doctor. He seemed like a nice guy (maybe a few outbursts, but I mean the mans dying) and a scientific genius to be able to keep himself alive so long with failing organs. I feel it was way rude of the main character to have burnt his letters he asked him to send.

    Rod Sterling, Night Gallery ruined me as a kid with this story. The Music, Art. Thanks Mr. Sterling.

    After reading / hearing the story, I could swear that this is the inspiration for the Batman villain, Mr. Freeze, came from.
