This is a myth and not true. It was his mother who used to tell neighbors that her son hid from the world because of his hideous face. There are many rumors and myths about HPL that are not to be trusted. For a superb book on his life & mind, see S. T. Joshi's H. P. LOVECRAFT -- A LIFE.

I agree. It's a good start, but slowing it down will help add the much needed "spookiness" that is need in a Lovecraft work. There is also a slight upturn of your voice at the end of your sentences that happen to give them an upbeat feeling. This disappears mostly towards the end replaced by a flat tone, but is very prominent towards the beginning of your reading.
Good visuals, and music. It adds the right kind of early film horror to it. Nicely done.

The reading needs to be at a slower cadence, with occasional pauses for emphasis. A great book about Lovecraft is H. P. Lovecraft; a Biography by L. Sprague de Camp. I have a copy in hardcover. If you can find a copy, well worth the investment.

That's the thing with Lovecraft - he was an antiquarian and pretty much lived his life in older times. Because of his voracious reading of fairly adult and old books as a small child, he developed an antiquated way of speaking. He wasn't doing it for the sake of it, that was literally how he wrote and spoke. A certain amount of exposure leads to contamination, after all.
Also, this is very much one of his Poe pieces, a somewhat semi-autobiographical imitation of his favourite writer.

Very nice. Is 3:05 inspired by "Phantasm?"
-
At 6:04, that's the zombie from Father's Day, Creepshow, isn't it?

You have done Grandpa proud. Please, more adaptions. Might I suggest The Tomb or The Hound?

Thanks for your kind words. I am currently working on 2 lovecraft adaptations plus an original that I will be posting here on youtube in the next several months. They are:
The terrible Old Man
The Festival
Lovecraft vs. Jason
I will be posting these separately on youtube, and hope to have them done in time for the Lovecraft Film Festival, under the title "H.P. Lovecraft's Thrillogy of Terrors." Thanks Again
