#STEPHEN KING CROUCH END ADIOBOOK TV#
Crouch End is one of King’s more explicitly Lovecraftian tales. Crouch End was made into a TV episode as part of the, and they did a great job with it. Lovecraft, through stories inspired by the writer’s classic horror and weird fiction tales. The odd horror of something too alien for the mind to grasp and remain whole is fed by keeping the Cthulu themselves almost entirely out of sight, except for one sighting that sounds, in the retelling, like an hallucination. Stephen King introduced plenty of readers to the works of H.P. The parts of the story where Stephen King describes the way the couple slowly slip from the real London into a London owned by the Great Old Ones is nicely done, with strong visuals that create a growing sense of unease. Its set around the small London hamlet called Crouch End, and the police force stationed there, most notably the veteran cop Vetter and the rookie Farnham. I could see that this strengthened the setting and allowed both a local and an outsider perspective but it seemed to me to be a little clumsy, making the story feel as it started more than once. Crouch End, one of Kings occasional homages to the works of Lovecraft.
Manche verirren sich dort scheint’s für immer. Bekanntlich kann man sich in dem eher ruhigen Vorort Londons leicht verirren. In Crouch End geschehen von Zeit zu Zeit merkwürdige Dinge. Rather than giving an as-it-happens account of the couple’s misadventure, King delivers the tale as a recounting to a couple of PCs in the local Police Station. Stephen King (Goodreads Author), Joachim Körber (Translator) 3.59 The story is set around a distraught American woman entering a police station in North London and describing how she came to be separated from her husband, who is now missing. “Crouch End” is a bizarre tale where Stephen King’s London is almost as alien as the Cthulhu Mythos universe that sometimes breaks through to it.
