Just wonderful.

As with all of Horrorbabblss work, this is the best way to enjoy the older stories.
I've been reading the eldritch works of Poe, Lovecraft, Smith and Chambers since childhood but listening to the productions by HB has made them feel like brand new tales.
Simply nothing better out there.

Not what I expected

I expected more of this collection as it is often connected to Lovecrafts work. That is where it got my attention.
It's quite different, and I struggled to connect to any of the stories. It's very vague, and at times meandering.

The performance are generally good, especially the male performance. Female, seemed more forced or theatrical. In the final story there is a background noise of birds singing, and it gets very distracting as it loops again and again.
I love most from HorrorBabble, but this did not hit the spot.
