The full text of "The Rats in the Walls" on the HP Lovecraft archive:
hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/rw.aspx
Other HP Lovecraft stories mentioned in the video (all available, of course, on the HP Loveacraft archive) include "Dagon," "The Shunned House," "The Tomb," The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, "The Colour Out of Space," and "The Thing on the Doorstep."
(If you'd prefer a paper copy, you may wish to watch my video about the (dismal!) state of Lovecraft anthologies, which includes recommendations): youtube.com/watch?v=w7KaVnYJdS8&t
Other books mentioned in this video include
Joyce Carol Oates - Night-Gaunts and Other Tales of Suspense
Mark Danielewski - House of Leaves
Edgar Allan Poe - "The Fall of the House of Usher" (short story)
HG Wells - The Island of Doctor Moreau
This video owes a lot to the critical work of ST Joshi, and in particular to his monumental biography of HP Lovecraft, I Am Providence. His annotated editions of Lovecraft have also informed my readings of the author, as have other critical works by Leslie Klinger, Joyce Carol Oates, Jeffrey L Meikle, and others.
My mention of my correspondence with ST Joshi in the video is by no means intended to suggest that he necessarily and presently endorses my zany theory that Alchester is, in fact, the source of Lovecraft's Anchester.
