At the Mountains of Madness

It would seem from his writing HPL suffered a bad psychedelic trip given him a lifelong fear of geometry 🙂

elder things be like "OK, take the stove and let's go!"

Make the movie 4 crying out loud. Its a great story!

HP Lovecraft looks like Mark Zuckerberg

Are there now forty commercials in this tape?

HP Lovecraft looks like Mark Zuckerberg

Sooooo Mark Zuckerberg is a clone of this character pictured in the start of the reading???

"grotesque penguins"

Damn, HP, why you gotta do 'em like that?

After listening to this, I'm never going to the Antarctic

Lovecraft's tales are kind of like a Pandora's Box situation. Love it!

I'll give this a listen. I stumbled across this by accident but I just happen to be reading the story now, at the point they're exploring the city, just after finding the decapitated old ones. It's become so tedious that I don't want to continue reading it.

So I'll give this a shot.

The nimble attempt gully call because beam advisably chop without a three amusement. ill-fated, tearful drill

Yay! Lovecraft without a stupid fake accent! I'm all for character voices, but when the whole of the text is in an accent that isn't the performer's natural accent, it gets really distracting. GJ!

The background voice is so annoying

He uses it so often that sometimes I have to wonder if Lovecraft actually knew what Cyclopean even means lol

Drivel.

Just want to give a big thanks to the uploader of these. A certain MMORPG encapsulates a majority of my free time and listening to these stories makes me feel I'm not completely wasting my time.

this reader (wayne june?) has a perfect voice for this story. he is soothing yet powerfull. i think it's helpful that in over 4 hours there is not a single line of dialog. a narrator's paradise. in fact there isnt any dialog in most lovecraft stories but they dont suffer any lack for that. it enhances their hypnotic moodiness.

Ever See One Of The Dead Bodies Around You? Just Asking.

I just came here to tell you.. he looks like Mark Zuckerberg.

"unpleasantly erudite folklorist" is definitely my favourite line

Best Reading on YT!

I'm so glad I've recently found your channel. Every night I end it with your readings and my dreams are wonderfully madness and beautiful. Please keep doing this ❤️🤘

This has to be my favorite Lovecraft story by far. I could say a whole lot about it, as many people in the comments section have, regarding it's unique pacing and descriptiveness and approach, but I mainly want to call attention to the fact that this is one of the few Lovecraft stories that doesn't openly and directly encourage a xenophobic reaction from the reader. If anything, it asks you sympathize or empathize with cultures and peoples alien to our own. What a weird turn for him to make so late in his life, but I'm glad for it. A lot of his work reads like racist epithet, even some of his most well-recognized stories, and I think it contributes a lot to his legacy, both as a science writer and as a human being; one with a complex and, to say the least, sheltered view on culture and identity.

I've said it 100 times and I'll say it again, a more pitiful and phobia ridden hominid has never been and never will be, to wield a mastery of the English language on the same level as H.P. Lovecraft.

I’ve loved HP Lovecrafts books since I was a teenager. The moment I read HP’s description of a Shaggoth I was hooked. There’s a movie called “The Call of Cthulhu”, it’s ok, but it’s nothing like the book.

If it wasn't for the story John Carpenter would have never made the thing

It takes quite a while to start getting interesting but it's really good when the story picks up. That's pretty common with Lovecraft all of his stories start off really slow and it's a chore to get to the good stuff

the voice of this narrator makes one feel that he is speaking from hundreds of years ago

Fukn wakjob wording. Wreaks of conceit

Take a shot every time you hear "madness" "musical piping" "wide range" or "archaean"

HPL makes every mythos/weird fiction writer of today look like baby shit. Exactly 0 of them stack up to him and he's been dead for almost 100 years.

Who is the narrator for this? Best ive found for lovecraft reading

Guillermo Del Toro was at one point in time trying to make a period piece movie (i.e. set in time in which the story is written and film rating R) with Tom Cruise as the lead character... But the fools that were funding the idea said "This is good, but we want to increase the range of people we can market it to... Can you film it and make it PG?"... G.D.T. walked away at that point when he couldn't change their minds...

Can you imagine the stupidity of the people funding this? Can you image what would have happened to the "Alien" genre of movies if the first movie was PG? There would have been no "genre" and nothing past the first film IMHO...

Hopefully G.D.T. will eventually find someone to fund this before he retires from directing (or dies)...

I like hearing these works narrated, but the best ones are where the narrator doesn't sound like this is the first time he's seen the material, as is sadly apparent here. When recording these audio cassettes, I guess there was no opportunity for a second take. Some narrators are just better at reading ahead for context or knowing the material.

Which Lovecraft's fiction do you want to hear a dramatized version? Also, which voice actor do you recommend? Let me know.
