Master storyteller Otis Jiry narrates this classic 4-part serialized tale of terror by master of the macabre, H.P. Lovecraft, written in November 1922, and first published serially across the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew.
Previously released in its four individual parts, the story is now released here in its full, nearly 1-hour length, for your uninterrupted listening pleasure.
As the story begins, the narrator, hearing tales of a “lurking fear” upon Tempest Mountain in the Catskills, takes two men with him to investigate. They camp inside the deserted Martense mansion s a lightning storm approaches, and feeling strangely drowsy, they all fall asleep. The narrator wakes up to find both his companions missing, and in a flash of lightning sees a demonic shadow cast upon the fireplace chimney from a grotesque monster like the other one. Things go downhill from there.

One of the Lovecraft tales I hadn't read, so that made it an extra special narration for me to hear... I almost like it more than ' The Call of Cthulhu '! On an vaguely related side note of little consequence, due to some of the content in this e.g. ' the degeneration of mammalians ' and the reference to ' mongrels ', I understand why some people retrospectively view Lovecraft as a racist, however, I disagree with that view... I simply believe that the understandings of genetics and inheritance were not as advanced in their progress as in 2014 (obviously haha!) and that Lovecraft was simply blending the understandings of his time with supernatural imaginings, in order to evoke the utmost horror... But that's just a thought That aside, brilliant as always Otis. Why you were not inducted into the Voice Hall of Fame is beyond my grasp 😉

Shadanza Bonanza Thank you for the kind words. I didn't know there WAS a Voice Hall of Fame :) I'm happy to hear you enjoy my narrations though. Bless you.

Otis Jiry's Creepypasta Crypt You're very welcome Otis :) When I said Voice Hall of Fame, I kinda just meant that you deserve more recognition for your talent in my opinion.

No, he was racist. Ever read "Re-animator"? Check out his description for a black street boxer who had died during a match and was used by Herbert West for his experiments. Lovecraft feared different people.

@shadabonea 8 жыл бұрын

TheBlues32 I'll be honest... as much as I have read by him, there's still loads I have yet to, so naturally I haven't come across the racism many such as yourself mention (interestingly, a friend of a friend did her final essay for university on this very topic and apparently found a good case for him being xenophobic). I'll cover more ground and then see if my opinion is changed :)

@definitelycortez3408 8 жыл бұрын

I absolutely concur with him Mr. Jiry., though I am inclined more toward I am Legend. (Coooome OUT NEVILLE!) I love the original AND the version Omega Man w/Charlton Heston)(who, brag brag brag, I got to meet and talk to about 35 years ago!)

That name is probably pronounced 'Yon,' to rhyme with Don. If they were Dutch, it is. I'm taking German and learning how to pronounce basic Dutch.

It's too bad that only in death did HP Lovecraft get his recognition, he died in poverty. Lived not far from me.

He was a well known racist is all I hear lately but he is more harsh on these other white people in this story. It's almost comical how insulting the descriptions are
