when you look into Lovecrafts life and learn about the man, more importantly how he felt about himself then listen to this story it really, really makes it all the more potent almost depressingly so, especially when the outsider talks about his childhood, the parallels are abounding

Wow. What an exceptional read. *FOR PEOPLE READING THE COMMENTS BEFORE READING THE BOOK- SPOILERS* That twist made everything make sense. The incessant climbing only to come out to solid ground? The absence of people? Never seeing the sky? That last line ties it all together. It's quite rare that we see a book from the viewpoint of an eldritch abomination, let alone one of this quality. Lovecraft truly is one of a kind.

When you watch this video, you can put a bookmark in a simple way. If you watched till 2 minutes and 30 seconds, then simply leave a comment of 02:30 and KZitem automatically creates a link serving as your private bookmark. Also, for long videos, let's say you listened till 2 hours and 33 minutes and 44 seconds, then simply leave a comment of 02:33:44. And when you comeback to the video, simply click the comment/link you left last time. Hope this helps!

Spoilers. ... Wait, what where the dark trees in the beginning? Tree roots from above or some other worldly delusion? I feel bad for the ghoul, he didn't know he was scary. We need some fan fiction of his other adventures of dodging mourners at the graveyard or something, maybe some teenagers daring each other to stay there overnight where the ghoul is more afraid of them in the encounter, or he sneaks into the nearby town's library to get some fresh books. Could be a whole series.

While I can't disagree that this is a superb example of his writing I have trouble with the author . I started this anthology with the Hebert Walker Reanimator ( forgive me if I got the name wrong ) and read the comments before the video . I was a little bit astounded to read the comments on Lovecraft being a bigot and rasists. Again that was before the video began and after listening to it I began to understand why . A man of his genius and writing skills had tainted me after that but regardless I understand the situation in that time period and I still enjoy his writings

Just a bunch of Leftists talking shit these days. The intro in my book called him a white supremacist and that's from someone with a PHD... It's modern labeling bullshit propagated by mainstream normies. Lovecraft was a troubled man, sensitive, troubled by the changing world around him. A conservative mindset most likely.

You know, he said the horror was indescribable, then proceeds to describe a shambling corpse. Don’t get me wrong, the writing of this short story is brilliant, told from the perspective of the ghoul/zombie who thinks he’s a normal person. But if you’re going to say that something is indescribable, you probably shouldn’t proceed to describe it.
@mikehicks8064
4 жыл бұрын
It's perfectly sensible to do so. Take for instance, the way Lovecraft describes a color from a spectrum unknown in our world, which induces insanity in those who view it. It's in human nature to rationalize everything we see. Just as you are unable to actually fathom the infinite size of the universe, or the concept of the existence of nothing. He ingeniously fires the readers imagination into envisioning their own interpretation of the outsider by merely eluding to it's general nature.
@kurtlangberg6143

Mike Hicks I’m not sure I completely agree with you. His writing is very evocative, and it is one of the strengths of literature to leave visuals up to the imagination of the reader, but it trips something in my mind akin to a BS detector to hear someone describe something they literally just said was indescribable. It takes me out of the story and interrupts the mood as my mind shifts into critical mode when my lizard brain sits bolt upright and yells, “He Just Contradicted Himself!”
