Offensively Bad Narrator.
I'd previously left a negative review of volume 1 of this collection, claiming the narrator may be semi-literate. This was far too charitable on my part. This volume features many of the same horrendous mistakes as the previous volume such as "antidote" in place of "anecdote", "Necromonicon" in place of "Necronomicon" as well as new ones such as "consummated" instead of "consumed" when referring to a meal being eaten. Then there are the mystery accents. I don't even know what the narrator is imagining he sounds like but listening to hours of fingernails down a blackboard would arguably be a more pleasurable experience for the majority. The narrator is clearly an idiot.

The Lovecraft stories are bad
50 short stories for $0.66? I had to give it a try, and overall I'm glad I did, but this is NOT a great collection. There are a ton of stories by H.P. Lovecraft, all kinda cruddy and boring. The narraror isn't awful, but he mispronounces way too many words, many of which are commonplace. Some of the better stories, by Edgar Allan Poe, Sabine Baring-Gould and Thomas Hardy help to raise the average a bit and redeem the audiobook as a whole. I wish I could program the audible app to skip certain chapters (i.e. the Lovecraft stories and a couple of other stinkers), and the listen would be a lot more worthwhile. Another rather annoying feature of this second volume is that it duplicates stories from volume one (same exact recordings!), only a couple out of 50, but it is sloppy that the publishers would permit such a thing.

Do NOT buy this if you are expecting MODERN horror
This is not a collection of modern horror stories, as some buyers are expecting (understandable considering the lurid picture the publishers chose for the cover, bordering on false advertising!). These are old classics, written more than a hundred years ago, and are for fans who like the language, pacing, and subtle, atmospheric chills found in these stories---as I do. And at this price (less than 70 cents for over 28 hours of audio), it is a must have for my collection. As in all anthologies, there will be some stories you skip over. There is also a volume 1 in this series, also at an unbelievable price. (There are some problems with the pauses in this audio. Is a pause a cue to tell you that a new story is beginning or is it just a pause in the story you are reading? At other times, there will be no pause between stories. This can be confusing. For the price, I can live with this.) The narration is more than adequate for this bargain selection.

Stories are amazing-the narrator needs to learn how to pronounce certain words
It’s a shame the narrator didn’t take time to ask or research on how to pronounce certain words. Several times in each story he took liberties; stressing the wrong syllable, pronouncing a CH incorrectly etc. etc. For me, it detracted from the stories. He has a good voice but I had to stop several times to figure out what he meant and that defeats the purpose of an audible book. Shame
