These are from old audio cassette tapes. If you are old enough to remember, they would degrade over time and audio from the other side of the tape would bleed thru.
Just a correction: This is NOT by H.P. Lovecraft, but rather one of August Derleth's pieces, based on an entry in HPL's Commonplace Book, and has been, unfortunately, published as a "posthumous collaboration" ever since. The reading itself, however, is quite well done...
It has been suggested by others here that this story was actually written solely by Lovecraft's devoted fan, August Derleth. I think this is true, because it has a female character in it who is given a few lines of dialogue, exerts an independent action and actually has slightly more substance than construction paper.
I'm over the moon i've found this channel and I will be listening intently from now on. Many thanks to the friend who has put these great works up for us all.
Thanks so much for posting these HPL stories. I'm hooked now, and working through the lot. He is such a good writer, and his created world is like Middle Earth, complete to itself. I don't really think he's got any competition from modern writers.
There are many of these posthumous, beyond the grave collaborations. August Derleth's were the most notorious. And yet, Derleth was the prime conjuror of Lovecraft's reanimation, allowing the master's dark writings to be well known to us in the neoteric age. Some of these necrophillious works are laudable! Many are tragic, and not in the felicific sense. I recommend reconnoitering this columbarium with a modicum of monition.
Neither. I find the linguistic style of Lovecraft to be very interesting, albeit disconcerting at times. It's just that your style of speech in your original comment almost seemed to exaggerate certain elements of his verbal flow and deviate from the "norm" of casual English speech. I definitely didn't mean it as an insult. tl;dr: I find the way you (and Lovecraft) write to be weird but cool.
Lovecraft obviously did not write this. Though he was a fan of Poe, would he constantly reiterrate his name in a story or make Poe's name that of the antagonist?
I sincerely doubt that HPL was the first author to take advantage of the _Shared Universe,_ but he's still among the Best ever to utilize it. I'm sure long-time readers will recognize allusions to the Great Race of Yith as mentioned in _The Shadow Out of Time._
This is the plot for ''the invasion of the body snatchers''' Think about it /who ever wrote that script must have read H P Lovecraft. It would have been more bizzare Had there been seven Edgar Allen Poe's Stalking about... Thanks for a great story Free audio Books..
+cak01vej I was a little drunk when i posted thise. made me sound like a spiteful overzealous 14 year old. what I meant to say was: I prefer reading H.P. Lovecraft over Edgar Allan Poe. lol
Never read this one, but I was pleasantly bewildered and creeped out. Probably because I'd recently watched a certain Donald Sutherland film that had a similar plot. Also this story surprised me art every turn, not what I expected as all.
shaolinwisdomThe movie with Sutherland you are thinking of is PUPPETMASTERS from 1994, based on the 1950s novel of the same name by Robert Heinlein, and no, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is not based on Heinlein's work. And it is is not based on this work here either. I think you are all giving Lovecraft a little too much credit.
Hypothesis: Poes' characters are often the ones in contact (led to kill or torture) but Lovecraft's characters are always 3d party observers, is the Alien's choice of body even more telling than the referencex)? -ref: was listening to Black Cat - Poe.
Makes you think about climate change and the destruction of earth's environment. I mean could they be ways of altering our world to make them more inhabitable for alien life?
The yeth the cone dudes are the least antagonistic of the elder races, more explorers of time than invaders. Their only real screwup was creating the shoggoth, but they took care of the star heads and the energy eaters so its a bit of a wash they even helped keep the octopoid men from taking over earth so they were still better than the migo
+James Long The Yith were not meant to be antagonistic, they are an alien reflection, then again so are the star headed Elder Things (who are more arrogant than evil, who... make mistakes) The Mingo are antagonist, alien used car sales men, up to no good.

David Morin she was the fake. Remember how they said "most" of the flesh the police found was not human? Rose Derleth died in the fire, and the alien Rose that Arthur saved by accident, killed Arthur to cover their tracks. So the alien conspiracy in that area, was nearly foiled. Nearly, but not quite.
