The narrator's voice really suits both the setting (1920s America) and the educational and cultural background of the typical Lovecraft protagonist (well-educated New Englander with a rational materialist perspective)
Masterfully narrarated. H.P. Lovecraft was a brilliant teller to stories dark and mysterious. He has always held a special place within the unattainable shadows of both mind and soul.
When I was young, if Cthulhu called collect you could have refused the charges. I guess now you could block him, like those telemarketers trying to sell you extended auto warranties. (Seriously, I do enjoy Lovecraft and appreciate the story. People have unfairly made so much of woman fainting and going into hysterics, and in Lovecraft you have grown men who somehow get away with it and aren't slapped, sedated, or committed.)
i think you're supposed to pour brandy down their throat, instead of slapping them. at least that's what they're always doing in Sherlock Holmes stories. Ah, the 'good old days'
I feel like the narrator is reading this in a sound booth with a lit cigarette in one hand, a flask of bootleg whiskey in the other, and a tommy gun laying in the table next to the microphone.
Cthulhu is waiting, in recent times there was a ping heard by many nations a mystery ping originating from the coordinates where the stone city is supposed to be, Cthulhu awaits to rise, him and his mountain tall and oddly skinny and moldy and bringing black with ooze
What is stranger even is that energy can not be destroyed and science has even proven that not are there no dead particles when we leave this meat bag we go somewhere else science does not know where only that we do do your own research if you doubt me or if you dare😮😮😮😂

Narrarator: "Mankind must never find out about what I have discovered."
*proceeds to tell a very detailed story about exactly what he discovered*
I love his writing but yes that's a trend with his stories lol that and abominably blasphemous mountain crab goo
It's almost as if we are inside his head.
that's a pretty simplistic view. Robert gets it
@@hllymchll The very first line mentions this is a manuscript written by the late narrator. Did you guys even make it past the first line? 💁♂️
@@drewwalbeck6006 yeah I just understand what it means haha
I fell asleep to this and had some weird dream about some strange city....
I gotta try that shit
So did H.P.
You are just barely awaking my friend.
Me too did your city have cobble stone streets with buildings on both sides kind of like a narrow ally way
I do this all the time. I love this guy's voice.
This narrators tone and cadence is cosmically godly.
Conrad Feininger
He's the perfect voice for reading Lovecraft!
@@robhaskins you, sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar.
It's monotone without actually being monotone. It's an odd contradiction
@@inactiveuser1981along with Wayne June
Love this, best narrator for Lovecraft’s works.
He really does sound like what you’d think the narrators would sound like!

It's March 23rd. Time for strange voyages to R'lyeh.
the brave Norwegian drove his vessel head on against the pursuing jelly which rose above the unclean froth like the stern of a daemon galleon.
I fell asleep to this and continued to see terrorizing images from my past hurray
This is so scary. Hp lovecraft is a great writer.
Who is this narrator? He is my favorite Lovecraft reciter.
Actually, Conrad Feininger. For Dudley Knight, search for "The Whisperer in Darkness."
He’s my favourite too :) his voice was made for reading Lovecraft.
listened to this whole thing at .5 speed with spacey ambient sounds in the background. Quite transporting.
he just sounds drunk lol
23:40 this rant is legendary
I think Lovecraft did Morphine, then enjoyed the joy of Script and Nuance !
"Ph’nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh, wgah’nagl fhtagn.”

One of his best
Awesome narration!
Lovecraft is so based. I can't
🙂
1:04:28 to keep my place
The missile knows where it is by subtracting where it is from where it isn't
Azh tg hah Azhtghah god of control (Khqtah inexhaustible) but there`s some foolish horror to that (Goblin and Worm on rehab)
"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming".
👍
thx
I think the narrator is Dudley Knight. If it is he is my favorite tellers of spooky stories.
I think this is Conrad Feininger.

This is real life stuff.
Muffled sound
Thulu?
You pronounce it othu,u
Thuu-luu
Oh H.P. Your perfunctory propensity for prolific purple prose is plainly perpetual - right up there with your understanding of non-Euclidean geometry.
Cthulhu is waiting, in recent times there was a ping heard by many nations a mystery ping originating from the coordinates where the stone city is supposed to be, Cthulhu awaits to rise, him and his mountain tall and oddly skinny and moldy and bringing black with ooze
That’s where the bloop was too, which is even creepier
Less creepy and more hopeful I'd say
