New Version of Classic

This is a new version of the classic tale of the hideous creature. The narrator has a rather scratchy voice, so it was a bit difficult to understand him. I have a version by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society and it was excellent. Didn't quite have the punch their version did. They also do a fantastic audio drama of it as well.

Hallucinaxionogenic

The vehicle of madness propels us into a world unknown or explainable by our modern science.

For 15 mins that’s excellent

Hard to argue its pretty entertaining for a short story. Going into it knowing its a short story.

Hair raising

“The inky mosh beneath my feet…”
“The Stygian depths…”
“…vast, polyphemus like, and loathsome …”
“I think I went mad then.”
Lovecraft is poetry bone deep.

Bare bones story that was far too short.

Dude ends up in the middle of the sea and then finds himself somewhere strange where some ancient area of the sea floor has come up with an unusual statue. He sees something scary and then gets rescued later but is never truly the same. The story was the most limited bare bones version of a horror story ever and I would not recommend this.
