This audio book contains many shorter stories. It would be great if there was some documentation of which stories these are and what chapters on the audio book these respond to.

The longer you listen, the more you realise lots of the stories intertwine.
There is something exceedingly strange about the way Lovecraft shows his 'cosmic horror' that will. She you want to go back and re listen to many of the stories.
Some readers are clearly better than others but you very quickly get absorbed into their particular reading style. I particularly enjoyed those who read the stories as one large monologue.
Overall very good, my personal favourite being 'the whisperer in the darkness' closely followed by 'the outsider'

loved it is holds up even against modern horror novelization. Through this you can see the origins of many horror tropes that we typically see in sifi horrors. lovecraft was a man whos work was deeply driven by his own fear; of the sea, the mental illness and of a meaningless death.

brilliant existential horror that holds its own

This is an excellent first collection to meet HP Lovecraft. Many--but not all--the greats are here. Nonetheless, it represents the hit parade of his most famous. The narrators are wonderful. And the selection themselves an illuminating introduction to the other less Cthulhu-type stories. This is a dip-in-and-out-of collection. An immensely satisfying volume.
