About this listen
Prof. Ewart Masters spends his convalescence, following a car accident, at the home of his nephew Jason Masters, pursuing his studies of ancient civilizations, during which he makes startling discoveries about the hidden city beneath the Yorkshire moors. His search to unravel the mystery of the green figurines, his efforts to assess the implications of Robert Krug's manuscript, lead ultimately to Devil's Pool and the surviving world of Lh'yib, culminating in a series of dream-like adventures as he wanders through the nightmare corridors of his new environment.
Beneath the Moors is primarily Gothic in atmosphere, its brooding mystery and stark terror occasionally relieved by bits of quiet charm and subtle humor. And the author's straightforward "autobiographical" technique possesses an element of immediacy seldom achieved in this type of narrative.

I would listen to much more from this story teller.
Marvellous
Joshua Saxon is "The Voice Of Brian Lumley"

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.
Classic Cthulhu Mythos Tale Masterfully Narrated

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.
A little uninspired but a good read
