This is what meat is supposed to be like, dingus
What I love about HP Lovecraft is that his works are essentially scooby doo in reverse.

You start out with what looks like simple crime and then it turns out to be a civilization shattering conspiracy at the hands of world devouring alien gods.

I've heard there's some great lovecraft audio books with good voice acting, can anyone point me towards them? It seems like a lot of his stories would be fantastic to listen to more like a radio drama maybe even with music/sounds.

Most of the longer ones have professional versions.

An important part of Lovecafts work is powerlessness.

That no matter how much you struggle you are just an insect compared to the vast power of the dark ones.

It's none of this "resist the dark ones influence" You can resist all you like but the dark ones can break your mind and bend you to their will with nothing more than a thought. And the only reason that your entire world and everything in it still exists is because they haven't glanced in your direction yet. But they will.
