Re-Animator

The experiment speaks back in Re-Animator, the horror punk opening of Of Those Who Knew by Unspeakable Tales. Its first-person narrator wakes on a cold steel table, alive enough to address Herbert West but unable to understand everything that has returned.

Broken memories, hunger and voices inside the revived body turn survival into a new source of fear. The speaker remembers being dead; the question is what now shares his flesh. The appeal to West gradually becomes a warning as the other products of his experiments begin to stir.

The lyrics give the revived subject the accusation, making West answerable to the life he tried to restore. Explore Herbert West—Reanimator in the Wiki for Lovecraft’s source story.
