H. P. Lovecraft - audiobooks & radio dramas

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, known then simply as weird fiction. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century, who together with Edgar Allan Poe has exerted "an incalculable influence on succeeding generations of writers of horror fiction". Stephen King has called Lovecraft "the twentieth Century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." (source - Wikipedia)

I tried reading a few of these Lovecraft stories. I believe this man was high on opium, meskaline and mushrooms. Or in some kind of Absinth induced delirium. Much like superchingon here. What the hell is he talking about?

Epic torrent. Thanks for this.

@satoriforsale: Thanks so much for this up...Fantastic!
@superchingon: CUTE!
@bulletdodger: Wow...really...What have you been smoking? Do you know HOW to read? Do you like Horror? Have you ever heard of the Necronomicon? It is mentioned in hundreds of movies and stories ever since HPL came up with it. He is one of the world's greatest horror writers...a COMPLETE GENIUS...

What the Hell is wrong with you? OHHHH you can't read. Or maybe you can just with B I G B L O C K LETTERS. Lovecraft was a foremost horror writer of the 20th century. You do him dishonor with your hideously displayed IGNORANCE and stupidity. You critic what you sample. You do not read. You don't even know who he was and you aquired this to sample. I would think someone with any intellect would at the least do a search about Lovecraft before listening or reading his work.
Despite your arrogance and want of maybe your particular type of writing(kindergarten books?) , H.P. Lovecraft will never be forgotten. You will be.

I've come to the conclusion that Bulletdodger likes penis in the anus.

It is amusing to review the intellectual discourse that finds its way into TPB threads. The bulk of the posturing is quite droll and cognitively bankrupt, but people are compelled to inject their misbegotten psyches into the mix with feverish delight and a host of misspellings. While Lovecraft's works are notable and fine examples of delving into the collective soul of man, you should not scold bulletdodger for pointing out that the man was often mining and sculpting on a wave of psychotropic embellishments. Cheers to the upload and, people, relax. Your postulations posted here are far and abandoned from any true academic discourse community; there is nothing that can be won unless projecting your unstable, insecure, egomaniacal two cents proves cathartic for want of a true and challenging audience.

I love lovecraft, his stories are great and i am reading his collected works (amusingly called the necronomicon) as of this moment. Am going to look at stephen king who tries to walk in his footsteps later.

"...there is nothing that can be won unless projecting your unstable, insecure, egomaniacal two cents proves cathartic for want of a true and challenging audience."
Funny you should mention that--projecting my unstable, insecure, egomaniacal two cents here DOES prove cathartic. Not for want of a challenging audience but simply because it makes me feel genius by comparison. ;)

@bulletdoger
super is trying to be dramatic in a lovecrafe kinda way and saying there arnt enough seeds

And the best part is, a lot of Lovecraft's work is public domain and available all over the internet. (Not sarcasm. Using Stanza on iPhone at the moment to claw through various collections, it's fantastic!)

You realize that just because someone has a vivid imagination and a tendancy toward purple prose, it does not automatically make him a drug addict, right? Now, I don't know whether or not Lovecraft did drugs (it wouldn't surprise me if he did), but it is kinda tiresome to see people automatically assume drugs are involved the moment they encounter a story that seems just a bit too weird.

Guys guys, it dosnt mater if the man was high or not. In my openion though you have to either be on something or at least a little unstable in order to come up with what this man did. Let us agree that drug induced epic win or not, the man was indeed a genious and he indeed won epicaly.
