Be prepared to be scared, or entertained, whatever floats your boat. Unless Cthulu sinks you. Original Story by Dr. FaustusAU: drfaustusau.dev... Music by Myuuji: • It's Not Over Yet - Myuu
I was impressed at how well this was done. It's not that easy to make one of the most terrifying stories ever written to sound like a nursery rhyme. Very well done.
Ok.. great.. my kid loved it, and all that.. but.. is the eye rolling back in his head, and the continual vomiting of minnows normal? I admit he's chanted that 'It awakens.. it comes.. It awakens.. it comes..' before, but it's gotten insistent now.
+New Message Ah, that's completely normal for a kid being influenced by an elder god from beyond space and time. He's coming along nicely. Remember to have the kid add "Ia, Ia, Cthulhu Fhtagan" to his prayers at bedtime
+hk hjg That would be awesome. If I had kids, I would read H.P. Lovecraft and the Simon Necronomicon to them as bedtime stories, along with Le Dictionairre Infernale, Liber Officium Spiritum, Grimorium Verum, the 6th and 7th books of Moses, The Goetia, The Al Azeeth, ya know, basic light reading for kids of all ages, agelessness, and aeons :) Edit: I forgot to mention that my kid's nightly prayers would include Ia, Ia, Cthulhu, Fhtagn

Excellent. Also, I am glad that no one on here complained about any of the changes from Lovecrafts(cough)less than polite words for people of colour. The animated comic for "The Rats in the Walls"I saw a short time ago had so many people complaining about the change of the name of the cat.
HAHAHAHAHA! I can imagine that, it would be horrible but hilarious if the necronomicon that was invented in the mind of H.P.Lovecraft was actually real and had all the summonings and they actually worked, oh boy, kids would probably accidentally summon a shugoth or a deep one, even worse Cthulhu or some other great old one, or even an elder god like Nyarlethotep
Bradley Cagle if only his diagrams were dragon bodied, squid faced monsters, rather than circles! It will always be the proxy that a hudsucker would never understand
I did, she had nightmares for a week. Tonight I'm allowed to read her bedtime stories again. I was asked for one about a fish. So I will tell her 'The Shadow over Innsmouth.'
I dont know why, this video it's impossible to find with the RU-vid search engine. Gladly I saved it in my favourites, because that's the only way I can hear it again 😔
Absolutely genuis and interesting idea. From the writing, to the rhym- es, all of the effort put into this was very well done. I love this piece of childish, yet adult feeling literature.
if cthulhu is made immortal by the sheer strength of his will then the destruction of his mind might mean the certain death of his body and for all the exaggeration of his power over past generations it is likely that humans simply out thought him already.
...or that HE will never die, never be defeated, and shall rise again when the cosmos aligns, and spread untold terror, destruction and madness to the minds of those not lucky enough to experience instantaneous death! LORD CTHULHU shall wipe this insignificant mouldy rock clean of the parasitic lifeforms who have arrogantly spread upon it, sparing only those few who serve HIS greatness! The time is coming again....
Victory... A hollow and ridiculous notion, We were born with this thing, Made from it. And we will be returned to it, in time. A great family of man, A profusion of errant flesh Multiplying. Swarming. Living. Dying. Until the stars align in their inexorable formation. And what sleeps, Is aroused once more. To hatch from this fragile shell of earth and rock, And bring our inescapable end... So seek solace in your manner, Befitting your lineage. And take up your nugatory vigil Haunted forever by that sickening prose, Echoing through the infinite blackness of space and time. "Ruin Has Come To Our Family
Dude your voice was perfect for this hope you do more h.p lovecraft stories man and this story was perfect for me to listen to while i was playing bloodborn man
No repeat views. Too many people watch this video and end up dead or institutionalized...or so I hear. It could just be malarkey, since we never *ia! IA! Son of the thousand-faced moon! The King in Yellow awakes! G'thonia ia!*
I like how the closet to reading a lovecraftian book is from a Dr. Seuss style book. but as i value my sanity i guess it's best i know as little of Cthulhu as possible :D
I appreciate the Requiem for a Dream rip-off. Also, who wins? The immortal and infernal priest of the Elder Gods whose simple visage is enough to break most minds in twain or a steamboat full of ballsy Norwegians?
There is another video reading what seems to be the same book, same author but different illustrations and text. I can only assume it got a heavily revised subsequent edition.
And thus we know there is only death or madness waiting for us. ...Pray for death.... H.P. remains the greatest horror writer of all time. Whittling our options to just these two, despite our intellect and accomplishments as individuals or a species: When all we can aspire to is inevitable destruction and inconsequence...what is left, but hopelessness? And THAT is horror, as a genre, distilled. It was done and over with in Lovecraft's work. Unrecognized in his time, everything else is practically an homage. There is no greater terror than the Cthulu Mythos.
The tone and style of reading is great, and the music is fantastic, but there are a LOT of places where you ignored the rhyming scheme or made other errors; most obviously when you skip and entire line after the page flip around 8:10.
