P. Lovecraft fans rejoice! Check out this animated short of 'The Shadow > Out of Time'. (Video) > > > The Shadow Out of Time is a novella by American > <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_literature> horror fiction writer H. > P. Lovecraft. Written between November 1934 and February 1935, it was first > published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. > > > The Shadow Out of Time indirectly tells of the Great Race of Yith, an > extraterrestrial species with the ability to travel through space and time. > The Yithians accomplish this by switching bodies with hosts from the intended > spatial or temporal destination. The story implies that the effect when seen > from the outside is similar to spiritual possession. The Yithians' original > purpose was to study the history of various times and places, and they have > amassed a "library city" that is filled with the past and future history of > multiple races, including humans. Ultimately the Yithians use their ability > to escape the destruction of their planet in another galaxy by switching > bodies with a race of cone-shaped plant beings who lived 250 million years > ago on Earth. The cone-shaped entities (subsequently also known as the Great > Race of Yith) lived in their vast library city in what would later become > Australia's Great Sandy Desert. > > The story is told through the eyes of Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, an American > living in the first decade of the 20th century, who is "possessed" by a > Yithian. He fears he is losing his mind when he unaccountably sees strange > vistas of other worlds and of the Yithian library city. He also feels himself > being led about by these creatures and experiences how they live. When he is > returned to his own body, he finds that those around him have judged him > insane due to the actions of the Yithian that possessed his body. While he > was experiencing a Yithian existence in Earth's ancient past, the Yithian > occupying his body was experiencing a human one in the present day. > > This video was a collaboration between Richard Svensson (me), Daniel Lennéer > and Christopher Johansson. Åke Rosén stars, and John Hutch narrates. > http://www.loneanimator.com <http://www.loneanimator.com/>
