Thanks!
ОтветитьHi Ian. This story brought back memories from the early 90's. It was a text adventure, The Lurking Horror, by the long gone, but loved, Infocom. Infocom games have a place in computer game history. They we're the master of the text adventure. The practically kickstarted it.
In this game, the creature was hardly seen. Just once, just in the form of a tentacle. But the game was frightening!
That was 35 years ago.
Many thanks.
Faithful AND muscular men, you say?
ОтветитьI was just informed that my mother's grandfather was from the region and had the last name of Martin, which is a different spelling, but I still had to come here and share that piece of data. I just think it's neat.
ОтветитьI have always had a voice in my head that narrates as I go about my daily life—-at this point, I’m 99.99999% sure it’s Ian.
ОтветитьThanks!
Ответить“Degenerate squatters” and “native mongrels in shabby villages” in “decadent communities.” it’s hilarious how Lovecraft transforms rural New Yorkers into what urban New Yorkers imagine of Appalachian hillbillies in “Deliverance.” As if traveling up the Hudson was like the journey up the river in Heart of Darkness. HPL is labeled racist but it wasn’t just that. he is a “classist”: the mongrels in this story are wholly Europeans. His snobbery is much like Ivy educated coastal elites in America seeing the rest of the nation as “flyover country” and its people as stupid “deplorables.”
ОтветитьAnother excellent reading. Thank you.
ОтветитьSeems Lovecraft did not like his visit to Norfolk
ОтветитьI love the phrase "digging idiotically"
ОтветитьI love his writing but I can't help but get angry sometimes at how judgmental Lovecraft was when it comes to human bloodlines and race. I understand that the idea of equality was not exactly the standard at the time BUT I can't help but think "dude, you would be so fucking cool if you weren't so up your own ass about ancestry"
ОтветитьI am very much enjoying going back to the old stuff.
ОтветитьAmazing narration as usual
ОтветитьThanks!
ОтветитьI like how this story has a slight slow burn and then picks up. That ending was a surprise! Thanks for sharing a great story!
ОтветитьThis is among my top five favorite H P Lovecraft stories. Thanks for the broadcast.
ОтветитьDoes anybody know how Warren is doing?
ОтветитьThank you Mr. Gordon and Horror Babble. Excellent as always.
ОтветитьAnother excellent reading Sir, as always thank you!!!🙏👌👻❣️
ОтветитьLovecraft is the master of horror. His stories would make great movies if they kept to the original writing, settings and time periods.
ОтветитьI'm having a hard time following this one
Ответитьi play games while you narate wonderful stories. it makes life possible. thank you sir.
ОтветитьGreat story. I wonder if there's an origin or "first" in the whole "people devolved into underground creatures" style of stories... you can certainly see how modern script writers have certainly taken cues from stories like these.
ОтветитьAwwwwww yeah
ОтветитьAngle caves is another good subterranean degeneration story
ОтветитьThis voice is good cus I feel like he wouldn’t be in favor of women’s suffrage
Ответить"a loathsome, night-spawned flood of organic corruption, more devastatingly hideous than the blackest conjurations of mortal madness and morbidity..."
ОтветитьHPL always adapts into the best RPGs.
ОтветитьNice bedtime stories for junior.
ОтветитьAbsolutely stunning work 🙌🙏
ОтветитьAs I heard the description of the creature, I thought, "Tom Savini must have read this story." Good old ravenous, "Fluffy."
ОтветитьFantastic narration, thank you for sharing such an enthralling story
ОтветитьChristopher meloni the actor from oz and svu???
ОтветитьEven knowing the plot, this story is remarkably solid. Is this what people think of that even Lovecraft's dutchmen are evil?
Ответить"Marston" is close to a metathesis of "Martense," so perhaps Stephen King and others were indebted to Lovecraft -- in fact I think it is a sure bet, even if through intermediaries. Coincidence or not, the dark pervert Marsden Hartley, whom Massachusetts reprobates are now not surprisingly trying to rehabilitate, lived up in Massachusetts and painted in Lovecraft's time.
ОтветитьChristopher Meloni from law and order?? Lit
ОтветитьAbsolutely awesome thanks Ian.
ОтветитьThis is, to me, a clear sign that HPL had a distaste for homogeny, and insular reproduction. The family was of proper renown until they began their inbreeding. I don't see it as a singular criticism of backcountry Americans, but also as a warning against a community or family becoming so socially isolated that they devolve in their attempt to stay "pure," going so far as to murder those who deviate.
ОтветитьMan he's tearin' though the sidekicks.
ОтветитьThose alliterations in his descriptions were a very specific kind of poetry!!
ОтветитьI deadass just realized after literal decades of reading this very story, despite how many deem them "man eating moles", listening just now I feel they may infact be wendigos.
Ответить"The Lurking Fear"(1928) is a horror story masterpiece, and probably this is the most scariest story by H.P.Lovecraft!
ОтветитьAt first I thought this was an autobiography about my boss
ОтветитьAs always Ian amazing read thank you for sharing your amazing voice
ОтветитьCongratulations, Ian! A truly superb reading of this remarkable classic. It has long been my favorite Lovecraft story, and it's a thrill to hear it read with such well-studied comprehension and interpretation.
ОтветитьMonstrous, inbred degenerates with heterochromia, huh? Boy, this story sure hits different now...
ОтветитьThanks for another great narration of a good horror story!
