This is easily my favorite of Lovecraft’s stories, because it is one of the earliest works of science fiction that thoroughly considers the nature of interdimensional travel and proposes some of the horrifying possibilities of what lies beyond our universe. Particularly, the moment when the main character feels both the gravitational pull of the Earth AND the pull of a distant star both terrifies and fascinates me even to this very day.

I have been trying to find someone who has the same fascination with this story and the scale of depth Lovecraft held within his almost prophetic writing. It's not often that you talk to someone else who has an interest in the Cthulhu Mythos and especially this story. The fact is that there are aspects of a few particular subjects that are brought up in the story that have gained so much more notoriety such as Quantum Physics that were only really being touched on by the public at the time of writing. This story honestly gives me a chill down my spine when discussing the old Crone and her small furry and fanged familiar... closer every night in his dream

Given my personal dealings with the occult and black magic this story hits close to home. My experiences with visions of interdimensional planes of existence induced by altered states of consciousness using complex systems of rituals and occult magick has led me down a dark path that only suicide can free me from. There is more truth to this story than you can ever possibly comprehend and that's why it scares me the most. Even to this day I am haunted by uncontrollable visions of shapeshifting figures folding into three dimensional space from a higher plane to communicate with me messages my mind cannot comprehend. I wish I had never touched an occult book or did any rituals, because now I cannot live a normal life when I walk half on earth and half in some indistinct, ephemeral astral space beyond the limitations of matter and time. By the end of October I plan on throwing myself on the tracks of a train, because my dealings with the metaphysical and extradimensional have brought me knowledge I should never have learned, and I fear that there will be no peace of mind as long as I live in a world where these visions of horror continue to plague my life.

I had only intended to listen for a minute or two to the infernal narration, but each time I walked away, I was drawn back. Rest escaped me; I would wake again and again amid twisted, sweat stained sheets, filled with a dark foreboding and a monstrous compulsion to return to that dark, haunted website and subject myself to that terrifying, disembodied voice. As the incantation progressed, with horror I realised that the only escape might come when the creeping, blood red trail would reach its end...

As my eyes fell upon that loathsome comment by the mad Arab Abdul-al-Jaxxstraw I felt a terrible presence in my now cold and dark room. A feint, musty odor of a thousand rotting carcases filled the room and made me freeze in my seat. As I heard that demoniac thing creeping towards my back, that nausiating smell increased in intensity. I gasped in fear as I felt a slimy hand, made of a thousand miniscule feelers, grab me by the shoulder. As it slowly leaned closer to my ear, the stench of death from its gaping mouth filled my lungs. After what felt like eons I could sense otherworldly vibrations in the air from a realm far beyond human understanding whispering to my ear: "...It's free real-estate."

i have had some profoundly disturbing dreams due to falling asleep and listening to HPL audiobooks. This is a modern version of the old trick of whispering things into peoples' ear as they sleep- it really has an effect. I found that I would visualize the story at times- conversations between characters that had faces- most odd and disquieting, especially "The Whisperer in Darkness" which is a particularly dangerous story as its 2 hours and 40 mins long, giving the mind plenty to work with as you fall into a light, on and off, non r.e.m. sleep ..I know that novella by heart, listened to it maybe 50 times or more but never tire of it.

I'd recommend Dagon. It's an adaptation of Shadow over Innsmouth, not Dagon proper, but the creative liberties are few and subtle. The setting is modern but the city feels frozen in the 1930's; the protagonist is a Miskatonic's undergrad and he has a gf, but everything else is faithful. The other characters, the buildings, the reef, the cannery, the people, even the dialogues.

People praise the many abilities of Lovecraft and him being a proponent of pioneering concepts in philosphy, horror and sci fi but my pet peeve is that, no commentator ever seems to notice what I love the most in his work: the way he states preposterous things like "no language of this world" or "as no human being ever seen before" and we just swallow it, we don't even realize he's saying absurds, paradoxes and nonsequiturs. We don't even realize he's using deus ex machinas and we perform suspension of disbelief totally unawares. He says "and such creatures that totally escape any rational description" and immediately describes them perfectly, and we don't feel cheated, we don't feel it's a fallacy. He says "happenings and circumstances I dare not to narrate" and proceeds to narrate in painstaken detail and we don't feel made of fools. We don't feel breaks and strangements in the continuity, the plot just flows and every element fits smoothnessly.

Does this cheezy, over-inflecting narrator scratch anyone else's chalkboard? Horror Babble LOVES this freaking guy 💆

HorrorBabble IS this freaking guy! The voice is very much an act -- although I have calmed down a bit over the years. On rare occasions, I employ my real voice: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zqaN4IKDgod3g6g

@@HorrorBabble Oh....Ok, so you know what I'm talking about? How the inflections seem to go off-script sometimes? To clarify: your stage VOICE is awesome, which is the only reason this other issue bothers me. I'm always looking for great readings (of lovecraft esp), and your voice has drawn me in (quite) a few times, before I'm like 'aww, sht, he got me AGAIN!' ☺

@@thatswhylucyleftme I think that's definitely true of the older recordings (such as this one), but I've refined my approach considerably over the years. Be sure to give the latest Innsmouth recording a listen if you have the time: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lG1vmZ-ukJxod3o Thanks for the considerate feedback.

do you by chance plan on doing 'the colour out of space' any time soon? is the only one of my favorites you haven't done yet. fantastic as always =)

I think the Colour Out of Space, along with this one, really show how far ahead of his time, and other writers of his time, HP Lovecraft really was. He was exploring ideas we had to wait until the 70s and later to read as fully developed.

A large number of Central and Eastern Europeans came here in search of better lives. They went where the work was, which meant the major cities and towns with factories. Arkham is based on towns Lovecraft knew, including their increasing immigrant communities. (His discomfort popped out in 'The Horror at Red Hook', a story that pretty much demonstrates that xenophobia and bigotry wreck what would otherwise be a good potboiler.)

There is a type of derivative that can be taken on globally non-Euclidean differentiable manifolds called covariant derivatives; so tensor calculus (of which field it is part) is a type of non Euclidean calculus.

I was curious how they were gunna stretch Pickman's Model into an hour. I thought it was... OK... until the ending. They couldn't leave it alone and just HAD to turn into generic horror. The mysterious nature of the Eldritch is destroyed when you do that...

@@radagast7200 Yeah I hear you. I enjoyed the Pickman's Model episode way more than DITWH, where they made Keziah Mason a damn loony toons villain, but could have stuck the landing better. I'm all for artists putting their own spin on the source material so long as the tone stays faithful.
