Everytime i read one of Lovecraft’s dream stories I have to ponder what his mind was filled with on the metaphysical level. I would like to believe that all the stories he came up with are based in something more substantial than his dreams, like he had a connection to something grander…oh well, I guess we’ll never know (at least until cloning technology is legalized for humans…)
placed into my playlist of Henri Rousseau, thanks
The best adventure of HO Lovecraft
Well, I’ll be hoping you find more time on your hands in that case. Hearing you read his work so elegantly really is a treat.
Thanks very much. I could do a lot more with Lovecraft if time allowed
This is quite probably my single favorite story of all time. Your rendering of this sample from it into poetic form brings music to my heart.
many thanks
very lovely work, i must say, you capture the atmosphere and mood of lovecrafts world with your wonderful reading voice. I would love to hear you read Nyarlatothep

thanks! BY THE WAY I DIDN’T KNOW ROUSSEAU WAS so MYSTICAL.
- see the notes on the right of the screen!
who are the pictures from? who is the painter someone knows?
Your voice fits this piece perfectly. I am sure Lovecraft, though strongly against modernism and technology, would of loved to have independent self publishing or youtube to get his message out. Its stuff such as that that allows genius work like yours to be heard.
It would be awesome to hear a full reading of this! i recently started the randolph carter cycle, they seem to go in chronological of they eyars they came out, i finished Statement, Unnamable, and the silver key. im currently on this one, Lovecraft is a genius in every sense of the word!
fantastic reading!
wow thanks for that, it’s good to know..if anyone would like to make it, I’d have a go! Chas
Very good. If you would record a cd of you reading The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, I would buy it. Exquisite.
Thank you Dominic. Lovecraft is psychologically fascinating. The Dream-Quest, while obviously fantasy, contains exciting hints of psychic experience. I wish that Jung had read and commented upon him! There is a whole world of interior existence as yet uncatalogued – I feel as if Lovecraft had already been there, a Henry Morton Stanley of the mind exploring hidden Africas of darkness!
Very interesting choice, Charles, not something I would have expected from you! Bravo.
You have a wonderful turn of phrase and I love ‘gilded orientalism’. I should like to learn more about you one of these days since your comments are always intriguing and knowledgeable.
Thanks Meg! xxx
Exotic and senuous.
There’s nothing wrong now and then with a dose of gilded orientalism. As Megan says, it’s the layering of all the elements that’s perfect. The Ravel is new to me. Thanks.
beautifully layered; fantastic music, beautiful expressive voice, and mysterious images… a wonderful journey in three brief minutes– well done love
