About this listen

Four works in one collection.

Story 1: The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft

Written in the early 1900s, this short-story is forged in horror, touching on the occult, voodoo, beasts, dreams, and death. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of several characters leads the narrator to believe that a bas-relief sculpture is linked to the Cthulhu Cult which is described as a monolithic creature that causes anyone who looks upon it to go insane.

Story 2: The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft

A horror novella, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, is steeped in superstition, human sacrifice, and strange sea creatures. As the narrator learns about the history and downfall of the town, he ultimately realizes that he is a descendent of the cult leader who worshipped and sacrificed to the Deep Ones in exchange for jewelry and wealth.

Story 3: At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft

During an expedition of discovery to Antarctica, the narrator and geologist, William Dyer, attempts to warn others who may follow of the strange findings in this remote land. In this science-fiction horror story, ancient ruins and pre-historic life forms are thought to have been the casualties of the Shoggoth, a monster of enormous size and the ability to incite madness in anyone who looked upon it.

Story 4: The Life of Lovecraft: An Original Biography by CSA Publishing

Howard Lovecraft, well-known for his style of weird fiction and horror stories, is attributed as the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos and one of the most significant authors of supernatural horror fiction of the 20th-century. From an early age, his interest in horror began with tales that his grandfather shared of ancient evil, mighty gods, dreamlike realms, and cosmic creatures.

Great stories ruined by terrible narration.

You’ve got to admit that recording a sample that is not the actual recording used in the book has to be against an audible policy somewhere. The sample is much better than the book, but listen to it all and you will realise it is an advert. I think deception springs to mind.

I seriously don’t know how people can say the narration on this collection is anything else but terrible, the stories are great but the narration is truly appalling. The pronunciation is faultless, but the interpretation of punctuation makes you feel that sometimes there. Is really some. thingwrong with the formatting of the script and the narrator makes a real hash of it. The result is an annoying and soulless delivery. I can’t listen to it anymore and I love the work of HPL. Inappropriate pauses everywhere and poor emphasis really ruins what could be a great use of a credit. Nowhere near 5 star narration.

Interesting other reviews......almost like they’re advertising the product. The structures compare to the product description structure in many ways. Very odd to have so many faultless reviews. Amazon take note.
