Thank you to Alex for tagging me in the Scary Tag game! =) You can find her channel here: http://www.youtube.com/fgalxpx

Have you used/read this section previously or since Jennifer. I recall hearing of this rat like creature, who does sound exceedingly scary, somewhere else and can only think about coming across it online.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

It has since been used as narration in a wonderful stop motion film of Brown Jenkin by bluworm :)

[quacksacker]

Since he was an Anglophile, I think he'd enjoy hearing you read his stories. How about reading the whole story?

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I would love reading the whole story aloud =) I am not sure how long it would take though. I'll look into it I think ;)

Ooo I just came across your videos randomly, but I love Lovecraft, and your reading actually made me shudder. He's so good at describing things that are so indescribably and horribly wrong... like the angles in the room or the hybrid-humanness of the creature... wonderful reading!

Thanks fadeoutx1!

HP Lovecraft is one of my favourite authors. I read the 3 omnibuses cover to cover as a teenager and nearly scared myself to death as curious minds do. HP Lovecraft was the cause of many a nightmare, but I think it was worth it.

Gorgeous and a Lovecraft fan, Id better sub. And I agree on your Lovecraft points, The ability to imagine his stories beyond the page is whats him the best in my mind.

[dave00dance]

my favorite storys are The Rats in the Walls and At the Mountains of Madness

i also love the old point and click adventure games' shadow of the comet which handles lovecraft superbly, and to a more modern extent scratches and darknes within

[GrowlingVocals]

youre lovable

I'm not generally scared by horror fiction, but Lovecraft has a way of capturing me to the point where I'm occassionally look over my shoulder to make sure I'm still alone. Great excerpt.

[TeehpodT]

A film version of "At the Mountains of Madness"? Never say never, but my guess would be that it's impossible to do in a way that does the book justice, for the very reason you stated. But I'll have to watch it nevertheless. That daft Aliens vs. Predators movie borrowed heavily from the idea of aliens slumbering below polar ice, but to little avail.

Wow, RavenOfPoe you have such vividly blue eyes. Nice taste in literature too.
