联动克苏鲁神话有声书最终章：听完故事听听这首《越来越像鱼人》

感谢果麦文化和怪物细胞，我们的克苏鲁神话小说有声书节目《印斯茅斯小镇的疑云》正式落下帷幕。克苏鲁爱好者听到最后肯定再一次会心一笑，印斯茅斯真是风景秀丽民风淳朴，深潜者们热情好客，调查员流连忘返，总而言之真是个好故事；而第一次踏足印斯茅斯的朋友，相信你也对克苏鲁神话的故事风格有了一个更加清晰的概念，克苏鲁神话也正是这种风格古朴的恐怖故事桥段的滥觞。

是的，所以其实《印斯茅斯小镇疑云》有声书的第一集的副标题已经剧透了，不知道你意识到了没。
说起印斯茅斯，我一直在等这个完结的机会，向大家推荐这个小小的同人视频，这是我当年进入克苏鲁神话大门的时候看到的一个小短片《Fishmen》，在youtube上上传于haakor的频道，上传时间已经是2009年了：
这首曲调欢快，旋律极富时代特色的小调，讲了一个十分毛骨悚然又令人会心一笑的故事，听完了《印斯茅斯小镇上的阴霾》之后，你应该知道这一笑的原因：
歌词如下：
It's beginning to look a lot like fish-men
Everywhere I go;
From the minute I got to town 
And started to look around 
I thought these ill-bred people's gillslits showed 
I'm beginning to hear a lot of fish-men
Right outside my door 
As I try to escape in fright 
To the moonlit Innsmouth night 
I can hear some more  

They speak with guttural croaks and to hear them provokes 
A profound desire to flee 
Their eyes never blink and quite frankly they stink 
Like a carcass washed up from the sea  

I wish I'd paid attention to that crazy drunken man 
He tried to warn me all about old Marsh's Deep One clan  

It's beginning to look a lot like Fish-men 
Everywhere I go; 
They can dynamite Devil Reef 
But that'll bring no relief 
Y'ha N'thlei is deeper than they know 
I'll continue to see a lot of fish-men 
That I guarantee 
For the fish-man I really fear 
Is the one who's in the mirror 
And he looks like me 
He looks just like me 
因为喜悦，因为逗趣，反而更胡言乱语而接近疯狂。
这首曲子实际上选自一张非常有名的克苏鲁主题专辑《A Very Scary Solstice》，叫做《It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men》，这首歌创作者名叫Reber Clark，你可以在他的youtube频道中找到这首歌。克苏鲁神话的同人再创作拥有极强的生命力，这张专辑就是很好的表现。
这张专辑收录了非常多的歌曲，是各种经典的赞美诗、歌谣小调的改编，把原来的歌词全部改成了克苏鲁神话主题相关的内容，用诙谐的旋律和结构依旧轻松的歌词，唱出了各式各样不可名状的恐怖场景，原来神圣欢快的歌曲，变成了另一种意义上的“神圣”和“快乐”，其中的黑色幽默感让人不觉莞尔。
比如这首《修格斯歌》：
I had a little shoggoth
我有一只小修格斯
I conjured up one day.
整整召唤了一整天
I used an elder sigil
我预备了个旧印
So shoggoth and I play.
这样修叽就可以跟我玩
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth
修格斯，修格斯，修格斯
With mouths and pseudopods.
满是嘴巴和伪足
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth,
修格斯，修格斯，修格斯
Foul creature of the gods.
神们的邪恶生物
One day while we were playing
有一天我和修叽一起玩
My monstrous pal broke free.
我的怪物朋友自由啦
I'd dropped the elder sigil,
因为我弄丢了旧印
Li'l shoggy turned on me.
小修叽朝我扑来
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth,
修格斯，修格斯，修格斯
He ripped me to a shred.
把我撕成碎片
Shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth,
修格斯，修格斯，修格斯
We played and now I'm dead.
我们是玩伴现在我死了
实在是一首悦耳动听的好歌，听罢让人忍不住赞美一句“Tekeli-li!”
在这里向各位大力推荐这张专辑，因为每首歌都有这种微妙的乐趣，从圣诞颂歌到各种赞美诗，这才是疯狂的有趣之处，不只是呓语和吼叫这么简单。
试试看。
