Herbert West and Narrator (The original one, where Herbert is blonde and blue eyed)
I know Lovecraft doesn’t like this story but I need to know what they do in their daily life, please, it can’t just be body snatching and injection right, they have to have some other relationship right, right....
Also if you just ignore the story being split into parts and having recaps, it just seems like Narrator just keeps talking about how good Herbert looks
Also also, your honor, they are HOUSEMATES!!!

The Narrator describing Herbert West: impossibly gorgeous, not even a twink but a kinky neoclassical fallen angel statue commissioned for a gay gentleman’s club, when he bleeds it’s like deer guts on snow, his hair is so thick but so fine and soft and blonde, he can enrapture me for hours with his pontification on life and medicine, his eyes are like an icy river I saw once when traveling through Michigan, there is something seriously wrong with him and I think he must either be extremely bipolar or is stealing amphetamines from the clinic or perhaps both

one could argue that dan is not an essential part for a reanimator story. and be wrong. i think it's interesting how ... coded dan's presence is to the very fabric of herbert west reanimator, down to the short stories. because sure, we get herbert west and bringing the dead back, but at its uttermost core there's the narrator that dedicated his life to west till the bitter end. and it's only natural to say why, even though there's no answer aside from literary convention. and there's never thanks or acknoweledgement or catharsis for the narrator. they burn the box in the end, with a common ''let's finish this''. they are both at the end of their entangled, shared rope. it's about reanimation and about consequences and it's about their shared existence going up in flames. it's so... you can't separate the two and still have the basis for a reanimator story.

intro to herbert west: reanimated ;3
hiiii me and my bf (@m4xwell16) decided to make a queer retelling of HP lovecraft's herbert west-- reanimator short stories bc we hate H.P Lovecraft ❤️. we hope to produce it as an indie film thats 1-2 hours long. it's set in the early 2000s and takes place over the course of thirteen years, following similar beats to the original six chapters.
heres the two main characters and their cat, chai (chimera)
info after read more :-)
This is the main character, he is not allowed to have a name (he has one but you're not allowed to know it.) so we will refer to him as The Narrator.
he plays the same role as the assistant in the original. the story is told through flashbacks as he retells the events leading up to the disappearance of his "friend", Herbert West, and the subsequent burning of his home to his lawyer, Darla Mills. he was (and still pretends to be) a relatively normal guy, but he is not strong enough to turn down reanimating the dead when he is attracted to the man doing it.
here is the man himself. herbert west
most of the story the Narrator is telling relates back to him, as they are the two primary suspects. he met Narrator in college and quickly drew him into his experiments. hes the more upbeat of the two, but this doesn't translate into being well liked (or particularly moral).
and here is the first original char :) kind of.
her name is elyse moor! she stands in for sir major sir eric moreland clapham-lee.. she's just a regular person at first but gets caught in the crossfire and reanimated, and now she's seeking revenge on the man that essentially ruined her life. her hobbies include baking, starting undead armies, and being a clinical psychologist! she's narrator's (ex) wife as of... like, three months ago
The other characters don't have finalized sheets yet, but some important ones include Darla Mills, Dean Halsey, some of the Narrator's friends, etc. :)
if you're interested in this story and want to know more abt it/keep updated, follow my instagram (same user) as im more active over there !!! :D
