Über diesen Titel

Two men, a bitter rivalry, and a quarter-century of unspeakable horrors. Herbert West’s crimes against nature are well-known to those familiar with the darkest secrets of science and resurrection. Obsessed with finding a cure for mankind’s oldest malady, death itself, he has experimented upon the living and dead, leaving behind a trail of monsters, mayhem, and madness. But the story of his greatest rival has never been told until now.

Dr. Stuart Hartwell, a colleague and contemporary of West, sets out to destroy him by uncovering the secrets of his terrible experiments, only to become what he initially despised: a reanimator of the dead. For more than twenty years, the two scientists race each other to master the mysteries of life...and unlife. From the grisly battlefields of the Great War to the haunted coasts of Dunwich and Innsmouth, from the halls of fabled Miskatonic University to the sinking of the Titanic, their unholy quests leave their mark upon the world and create monsters of them both.

Beschreibung von Audible

Oliver Wyman (an Audie-award winner multiple times and voice for numerous characters on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series) performs this entertaining homage to H. P. Lovecraft’s imaginative horrors. The time is early 20th century, a period abundant in drama both real (World War I, the sinking of the Titanic) and imagined (a "tied" World Series, Charlie Chan’s honeymoon). Dr. Stuart Harwell finds himself in a race against Dr. Herbert West, a man he loathes for his vision and the resulting monstrous results from experiments to let the dead walk again. One of the horrid results from Harwell’s own experiments is the discovery of how much he has become exactly like what he most despises.

If you've ever read the story of Dr. Herbert West, who discovers a liquid that can raise the dead with varying degrees of their mind intact, then you might be like me and want to know what happened after West went missing at the hand of his own creations. This novel gives you that answer. Told from the perspective of a fellow student of West's, also hailing from Miskatonic U, the novel tells you the events surrounding the famous story by H.P. Lovecraft. Out of a personal dislike of West, the narrator has intentionally meddled with his formula and is on the way to perfect the serum when the usual disasters strike that always seem to crop up where the green gloing liquid gets injected into soon no longer dead tissue. The author manages to convinvingly recreate the style of Lovecraft's contemporaries without leaning too hard into the purple prose the original author was sometimes known for. There are also plenty of cameos of and alternate explanations for characters and phenomena in Lovecraft's (and Derleth's, and so on) canon, but also other characters from then contemporary fiction you might not expect turn out to be woven into the setting. Let's just say when a certain Vicomte the Chagny was mentioned I felt my ears prick up and wasn't disappointed, but was not at all ready how the character would wind assuming the identity of another well-known person from the Cthulhu Mythos. The story never grows dull and keeps you hooked, leaving you always wanting for more. Shame that the apparent sequel, Reanimatrix, wasn't turned into an audiobook by Audible... yet.

A wonderful sequel to Herbert West: Reanimator
