H.P.Lovecraft: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

[qiay]

Wonderful! Most amazing story I've ever read. Reading "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" makes me think of Drakan: Order of the Flame and Drakan: Ancients Gates video games. The scenery and images from that video game seem to go together very well with the story.

In an interview, Lovecraft claimed to have not much use for his DREAM-QUEST FOR UNKNOWN KADATH. That's a puzzle because it's one of his best creations and has quite a bit to do with his CTHULU MYTHOS stories. It seems to me that all of his other-world entities, in one way or another, come from the same place and could easily share the same space.

why is lovecraft purple in the first picture? did he eat wonkas berrie candy?

[motorheadanthrax]

this is a decent story , although it doesn't match the cthulu mythos masterpieces

[StevenLoos]

Beautifully done, I am subscribing. You are fantastic, and I am indeed becoming a fan.

I'm only a little embarrassed to admit that it took about two days before I remembered why your voice seemed so familiar, Mr Bryant. The Vortigaunts in Half-Life 2 sound a lot like you!

I think that "The Tree" by Lovecraft would benefit much from the melancholy your voice would infuse it with.

fantastic reading an the use of Henri Rousseau an Ravel, who is a fav of mine....was magic.

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...)

he was just a little insane.

@Wtfxxl13 - HPL once said: Life has no meaning other than what we dream into it.

The best adventure of HO Lovecraft

[SanguineUltima]

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.

[brychar66]

Thanks very much. I could do a lot more with Lovecraft if time allowed :)

[SanguineUltima]

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.

[SpaceSolo]

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

[brychar66]

many thanks :)

[lavanguardiadelsol]

who are the pictures from? who is the painter someone knows?

[brychar66]

- see the notes on the right of the screen!

[lavanguardiadelsol]

thanks! BY THE WAY I DIDN'T KNOW ROUSSEAU WAS so MYSTICAL.

[caretto]

Antonio Ligabue ;)

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!

[Tripsareforkids]

fantastic reading!

[Badergader]

Very good. If you would record a cd of you reading The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, I would buy it. Exquisite.

[brychar66]

wow thanks for that, it's good to know..if anyone would like to make it, I'd have a go! Chas

[oconnorcd]

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.

[algabal]

Very interesting choice, Charles, not something I would have expected from you! Bravo.

[brychar66]

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!

[sfkcbf]

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.

[brychar66]

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.

[megansspark]

beautifully layered; fantastic music, beautiful expressive voice, and mysterious images... a wonderful journey in three brief minutes-- well done love :)

[brychar66]

Thanks Meg! xxx
