Herbert West: ReAnimator BY HP LOVECRAFT PLOT SUMMARY: The reader is introduced to the narrator, a doctor who went to medical school with the titular character. Informing the reader that West has recently disappeared, the narrator goes on to say that now West is gone from his life, he can truly appreciate West's insanity and can at last express the feelings of terror which West inspired in him. The narrator goes on to explain how he met West when they were both young men in medical school, and the narrator became fascinated by West's theories about human life, which postulated that the human body is simply a complex, organic machine, and that with the proper combination of chemicals injected into the body upon death, the machine could be "restarted." ...excerpted from wikipedia Approximate play time of 80 minutes Read by Matt Bohnhoff HERBERT WEST EXCERPT.mp3 |
