The Whisperer In Darkness and other audio recordings...
A repost with updates...
Please welcome guest blogger MorganScorpion who shares her audio recordings of H.P. Lovecraft...
I became disabled a few years ago, and as a result of having to give up work, I turned to daytime television. It was hell. So I turned to audiobooks and embroidery to pass the time. Eventually I discovered Librivox; an online organization dedicated to recording out-of copyright books and putting them online for free distribution. Librivox uses volunteers, and always needs new ones. After downloading and enjoying their recordings for over a year I began to feel I should give them something back for all the entertainment they had given me. In short, I volunteered out of guilt, intending to record a few chapters then go back to just listening. To my surprise, I enjoyed myself. I've been a regular contributor ever since. Lovecraft fans are really in love with the man's work. They can't get enough of it. But there is a dearth of his later works available online, as the copyright status of his later work is uncertain. So I thought I'd fill in the breach, so to speak. I hope in time that a professional actor, like Jeffrey Combs or John Lithgow will do Lovecraft full justice.

Hey, thanks for posting these. I know what I'm doing tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteEach of MS's readings are a delight. I hope all Lovecraftians enjoy them as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for my chaotic life to settle down a wee bit so as to listen to Julia's reading of THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD in full, but I don't think I can wait any longer. I love her reading voice.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for the updates =D
ReplyDeleteI find I love these audio recordings much more than any movies.
Thank you Ms. Scorpion for your adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's work. I have a job which gives me time to think during the day and your audio books make the time fly by. Thank you again.
