I think it's so wild that when, even as a ghost writer, lovecraft manages not at all subtly to put his signature and aspects of his mythos all over these stories.
@@momsberettas9576 Correspondence between HPL and the co-author. HPL's "revisions", as he called them, were undertaken with other writers who were part of his correspondence circle.
Of all the audio versions of this I keep coming back to this one. It's my favorite Lovecraft story but because of being ghost written I rarely see it, even in "Complete" editions. Lovecraft takes the very basic premise of "guy is dared to stay in a wax museum overnight" and creates a genuinely unsettling story of nameless horror nestled neatly within his own mythos.
Orabona is easily one of Lovecraft's/Heald's most amusing characters. And if what Rogers said is true, he may have destroyed one of the key components for Cthulhu's return.
"The Horror in the Museum" is a short story ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft for Hazel Heald in October 1932, published in 1933. The tale takes place in a private wax museum that specialises in the grotesque.

Ah! The Shambler from the Stars, Nyarlethotep, the Darkened Blood God from the Steeples, the Horror of Ten Million Faces...gaze into the Wonders of the Shining Trapizohedron...and face thy Doom! Sanity shall melt like the Wax of the Artist...for he cannot be imprisoned, halted or contained, even in the silver cages of human imagination! Sorry Ian I got carried away....wonderful....
I like these collaborations of Lovecraft with Hazel Heald. I think that working with her toned down some of his stylistic tics. I had no idea she had a hand in “Out of the Aeons”.
I love your Dulcet tones. Like silk on my ears my man. Thank you so much for the passion and effort you put into these works. You've really helped bring Lovecrafts worlds to life in my mind.
This would make an amazing movie. I love Orobana! He freaking killed a lovecraftian monster and made into a wax piece. I wish there were more stories on him.
@@maxredjasper55 right, it would lighten that whole rase issue too that ppl make out about lovecraft. I mean he has two white educated guys come out as crazy or ignorant. Bona is smart, classy, brave, and best of all for these stories foreboding. He should be played by Lance Reddick.
@Pornhub XHamster I mean not as a massive block buster type hit, but as a small lowbudget movie, it could be possible, you need 3 scenes, a "museum" (just a gallery space), a weird hole (easy to set up) and a street to run away. I think the most expensive thing would be to set up all the pieces of art necessary to give the museum its feel. "the color out of space" was reimagine and I'll be honest, it's a pretty great movie
@Vampiric Academia 1 I’m pretty far left, and I’m a massive Lovecraft fan. The guy’s profound racism doesn’t diminish his contributions to the artistic medium. Also, he was taking a strong interest in socialism and easing up on the weird reactionary bullshit shortly before his untimely death. I know tons of left wingers who are Lovecraft fans. Hbomberguy did an excellent video on it.
@@joeyst-pierre6139 Never really got why people liked that film. It just seemed like typical crazy nic cage lol. The monsters were nice but it didn’t have the same scare that the book had at the end
I actually got scared for a minute. There's a huge desert windstorm going on outside tonight while I listened. There were so many bumps and crazy grinding noises coinciding with the story. 😂 Absolutely perfect. I haven't been scared by a creature since Jaws... Perfect narration makes this possible. Thank you. Now I can't sleep. 😂😂❤
It really helps when there's some unnerving music in the background. Not that Ians voice isn't suitable by himself for the role he plays in Horror stories.
I will buy that skin! Go collect it for me Jensen. Oh it's you..I treasure this output from the left Lovecraft. Your rendition Sir is as always excellent, on point.
So....not quite sure times I yelled at Jones to GET OUT!! Sometimes badthings happen for a reason. Somehow, I feel Jones deserves everything that happens to him.....which is very Lovecraft.
I have all but stopped listening to any other narrators since I have found this channel, and if you could do more scary sea stories would escalate my dedication for this channel to no end. Also if you ever decide to just tell a good classic story I believe your channel could only compliment the classic "GREAT EXPECTATIONS", one of my childhood favorites. Hint hint 😉
Honestly, it was silly to have Rogers be revealed as so wildly unhinged so early. He's ranting about sacrificing things to his new god while showing off a horribly mutilated dog carcasses and speaking ominously about worse things to happen soon, yet Jones is somehow just totally cool with the whole "stay overnight at the museum" plan? It's absurd.
It's become my regular ritual to fall asleep to Lovecraft read by Ian I'm now working on a horror comedy story about a small redneck town in Louisiana where people take refuge in a S-Mart when a hurricane brings in an invasion of aquatic Dagon creatures (I felt zombies were too played out) the hero is a geek who grew up reading Lovecraft and watching horror movies. Imagine all the white trash (sorry) type of people notorious of being in a Walmart living in thee store trying to survive.
I haven't really thought about this before but Lovecraft rarely wrote any dialogue, everyone usually monologues at the narrator or they have a summary description of what was said. It's actually weird hearing a full blown (albeit short) discussion. 😅 Is this part of his style or a style of the age he lived in?
