So good. Even if only through intermediaries, Lovecraft actually cares about and has thought intelligently about traditions of the supernatural, and of Poe's old preoccupation with being buried alive.
Early in this story, HPL mentions the "hangings of Somber [Sombre] Black". Somber Black was HPL's favorite rapper and hangings back then were like posters are now. Somber Black's joints include: "Cosmic Muthaf*ckin Horror"; "The Thug in Yellow"; "Shuggoth Killa" etc. He is underrated.
"The Disinterment" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft and Duane W. Rimel. The story tells of a leprosy sufferer, who, instead of living with the debilitating condition, opts for death and resurrection at the hands of a witch doctor.

Although I have read most of Lovecraft's solo work, I'm not all that familiar with his collaborations, so this was one I was not familiar with. It's unfortunate that the book I purchased called The Complete Lovecraft Collection fails to incorporate many of these collaborations. Not complete at all. Thanks for sharing this story!
Unfortunately, most of those are his ghost writings, and therefore often accredited to the writers who paid him. A number of them are known by a fan base, but some slip by. If I might add a way of looking at it, think of it like you still get to hear new stories from him, from beyond, if you will. I hadn't heard of this one after years of reading Lovecraft, and I love those hidden gems coming to the surface.
Thanks for narrating this rare gem! I forgot it was one of his stories until I listened to it. The setting of this story is awesome. The description of the houses, as in much of Lovecraft's work, is so deep. Marshall Andrews is such a "good friend." I am glad I do not have friends like him! Great job, Ian! Many thanks for narrating this.
👍. 😸🙋 hi guys, I really liked that one , horrible as it was ! I may have to go back for another listen, I kept getting interrupted. Great reading as usual, Ian. 😉
I used to pride myself on my various collected works of HP Lovecraft smug in the confidence I had every adjective-haunted sentence the Master had written. Yet again and again I find stories like this which I'm sure I never saw or read. Was a trove of unpublished stories discovered after his (unimaginably painful) death ? My books have copyrights from the 80s and 90s. Is there a single magnum opus that's come out since you might recommend ? My own favorite Lovecraft story is 'Shadow Over Innsmouth'. As a Massachusetts native I even took a road trip to find either the place or a town that inspired Lovecraft's descriptive powers to such powerful and weirdly specific heights. No I never found it however I did run across a few people who might have comfortably blended in there. This is not a case of a city snob looking down on country bumpkins but a literal statement of fact. Oddly malformed bodies and unblinking eyes ? Oh yes indeed. The only thing lacking were the gills-as far as I could see. Please excuse my own babble as it's a prelude to my question - do you have any stories on your awesome (literally) channel that go back to that decaying worm-eaten village ? Anything by Bloch or Derleth or yourself for that matter ? Anything at all to return me to those crumbling buildings and seemingly empty streets ? I miss them so. Now it's off to the online bookstores to seek out 'Ian Gordon'.
So... the suspicious doctor attached the poor man's head onto a gorilla's body? That was all I could understand at the very end of the story of what had happen. I was under the impression of either 'Being an actually revived undeath' or a "Victor Frankenstein's Monster'' moment.
@@HorrorBabble wow that's a cool. Have you looked at wavelab for editing? Cubase seems almost overkill for editing. They are both wonderful applications though. Used them for years, since cubase was on Atari ST! Come a long way since then. Cheers, love your work. These collaborations are wonderful. I can't believe how many I was unaware of. Thought I knew all of hpls work yet it seems I'm finding new collaborations all the time lately.
@@glennTinylionUK Hi Glenn - I'm a musician first, and so I'll always be loyal to Cubase! Many of the readings here on the channel (particularly the ones with multiple voices, special FX, music, etc) require advanced production techniques. Thanks!
