'The Rats in the Walls' By H.P. Lovecraft - Full Audiobook - Read by WJ Smith

🎃🎃🎃🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!🎃🎃🎃🎃 After completing my previous audiobook of Lovecraft’s ‘The Call of Cthulhu’, I really wanted to try my hand at recording another full length audiobook from Lovecraft’s horrifying world and after reading this story for myself.. I knew this horrifying tale would be an excellent choice to capture the nature of Lovecraft’s work and contribution to the horror genre!!🦑📖📖🦑 So here it is.. my second full length audiobook, this time of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story ‘The Rats in the Walls’, written between August and September 1923 before being published for the first time in ‘Weird Tales’ magazine in March 1924. This is an atmospheric, ominous, creepy and horrifying story from Lovecraft’s works and I hope you’ll agree after listening!!🐀😱😱🐀 The story was at first rejected by ‘Argos All-Story Weekly’ before ‘Weird Tales’ accepted it, with Lovecraft claiming the Argos Weekly found it “too horrible for the tender sensibilities of a delicately nurtured publick” and JC Henneberger, the publisher at ‘Weird Tales’ described the story as the best his magazine had ever received.📖📖 In this story, an old American man named Delapore (Whose first name is never revealed) moves to his ancestral home in Exham Priory, England after restoring it following personal loss after World War I. The old estate however is a place of superstition, lingering horror and fear for the local residents, whom as soon as Delapore arrives do not take well to him restoring this seemingly wicked place. But why do they fear and revile it so? Delapore quickly comes to know that it is a place of many local legends and horrifying events.. by moving back in, is it possible he has reawakened this horror to roam over the lands again? You’ll have to listen and find out!!🎧🎧 Lovecraft wrote that the story was inspired by “a very commonplace incident.. the cracking of wall-paper late at night, and the chain of imaginings resulting from it” and an entry in his commonplace book states as a story idea “horrible secret in crypt of ancient castle.. discovered by dweller.” Which definitely suggests this came from an idea he had of a seemingly unknowing narrator discovering their new home harbours a terrifying secret.. Whilst a horrifying story, I’ve always really enjoyed narrating the horror genre and this was a lot of fun to make!! Whilst Delapore is of course American in the story, I wanted to do something different with his voice and have him speak in English accent inspired by the legend that is Sir John Hurt (1922 - 2017), I hope you like the choice!! 🙏🏻🎙️🎙️🙏🏻 The sound effects used here are all via Pixabay as are the musical tracks which I have listed below - ‘Its Temple’ by Samuel F Johanns - He makes such incredible tracks and I used many of his tracks in my Call of Cthulhu audiobook, definitely check out his tracks! Please check out his page on Pixabay at - https://pixabay.com/users/samuelfjoha... ‘Horror Piano’, ‘Dark Thrill Horror’ and ‘Horror Night’ - By Nikita Kondrashev - His tracks were perfect for this story, both for the tense moments of mounting fear and the secrets of the Priory being revealed! He perfectly captures that tense horror atmosphere with his music and he’s so very talented!! Please check out his page on Pixabay at - https://pixabay.com/users/nikitakondr... I hope you enjoyed this audiobook as much as I did making it!! I’m working on more and hope one day to share them with you!! There’s some more horror projects in the works but I’ll definitely give something other a try!! Until then.. enjoy this audiobook and delve deep into Lovecraft’s horrifying world!!🦑🦑🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you so much as always for all your support, it really does mean so much to me and I can’t thank you enough!!🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻 #hplovecraft #audiobook #narration #ratsinthewalls #horror #voiceover
