A little uninspired but a good read

Disclaimer I was provided a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.

With big C on the cover of this book, I admit, I expected this to be all about the great sleeper and at no point did I consider how this would make no sense on a moor..

Interestingly enough, this is about a seldom explored race (who I shall not spoil) which was very interesting but, also, a little boring at times.

I don't want to spoil anything but this read a lot like the tale of changelings and so it was hard to consider it a Mythos tale besides the name-drops and races involved but it was interesting although lacked a sense of suspense but Joshua did a great job with the narration and, while not have a whole lot to work with, did a brilliant job of added a sense of trepidation and mystery along with interesting and identifiable character voices.

In all, I did enjoy the story but found it less exciting than the cover bad suggested and almost feel a change of image would help the book sell.

Classic Cthulhu Mythos Tale Masterfully Narrated

I've long felt that Brian Lumley is the best Cthulhu Mythos writer since the great man (Lovecraft) himself. Beneath the Moors is a perfect example of a story that is true to the style of Lovecraft but also with its own voice and energy. I love horror stories written in the form of letters and reports, and this is a fine example of that method.
Joshua Saxon once again delivers a pitch perfect performance. I've greatly enjoyed many of Mr Saxon's audiobooks over the last year, but there is something truly special about his work on Lumley's fiction. I also highly recommend the audiobooks of Haggopian, The Taint and Screaming Science Fiction, but to be honest, you can't really go wrong with the Lumley/Saxon dream team.
Another quality presentation from the fine folk at Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.

Joshua Saxon is "The Voice Of Brian Lumley"

This was a Superb Listening Experience for me, as my first ever audible. The narration was utterly compelling from start to finish. The story unfolded seamlessly, to the sublime voice of Joshua Saxon. I was immersed in the world of Brian Lumley in a truly captivating way. The deep quality of the the narrators voice itself projected all the essence of this Lovecraftian tale perfectly.
I would listen to much more from this story teller.

Marvellous
