Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish vision, H.P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, "At the Mountains of Madness". The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries - and their encounter with an untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization - is a milestone of macabre literature.

HorrorBabble's complete, dramatic telling of Robert W. Chambers' classic collection, The King in Yellow. The book comprises 10 individual tales, several of which are thematically linked by a controversial play with which the novel shares its title.
Summary
For the first time ever, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced an audio recording of all of Lovecraft's stories. These are not dramatizations like our Dark Adventure Radio Theatre - rather, this is an audiobook of the original stories, in all-new, never-before-heard recordings made by the HPLHS' own Andrew Leman and Sean Branney exclusively for this collection. Working from texts prepared by Lovecraft scholar S.T. Joshi, this collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies. This audio bonanza features 74 stories adding up to more than fifty (50!) hours of Lovecraftian listening fun, professionally performed and recorded for your enjoyment.

CRAFT a Credit as you will LOVE this edition
Apologies for the headline.
Andrew Leman and Sean Branney have done a stellar job with in bringing this production to life and it is certainly one of the best editions I have purchased. Unfortunately as with many Audible titles; the audiobook is marred by a lack of annotations in the chapter sequence. There is no information other than chapter numbers.Thankfully reviewer Aransas R. has done a formidable job in creating a table of contents you can just copy and past into your first clip/bookmark as a note. If, like me, you like to be able to navigate your way around 181 chapters then checking out Aransas R's review is a must. Without it I would have been adrift in a metaphorical sea of stories. Only one minor detail I noted is that Azathoth should be listed as Chapter 15 not 14. Other than that, Aransas R has saved me a lot of work and grief for which they have my gratitude.
In short - buy it.

Need chapters titles!!
Stories great - small and large.
Narrations excellent. Love that it’s read by two that obviously know and love h p lovecraft.
One big problem - 50 hours of audio, dozens of stories to pour through and no chapter titles. So going back to a short story you may of liked means jumping through chapters to find the right one.
Other than that great.

The best
Follow Heinz57 for the chapter instructions and this is the best collection, and with Coyle’s Innsmouth has jumped to the top of my list Fantastic narration really brings these stories to life. Not overly dramatic, but reminiscent of early radio shows, entirely in keeping with the stories. Worth a credit for anybody with an interest. Looking forward to many hours listening to all of this. Highly recommended for any HPL devotees.

I figure Lovecraft must’ve been paid by the word
Sorry, I meant to say... upon undertaking to indulge my inexplicable intellectual appetites with the queer and ponderous labyrinthine volumes of HP Lovecraft, obeisance I paid at last, toilworn and discomposed at the altar of inescapable judgement that this eldritch virtuoso of archaic language must - as far as was discernible from the accursed preponderance of the tome - have been recompensed handsomely by some nameless employer for each and every hideous word.

This is the best reading of H.P. Lovecraft I have ever heard.

Lovecraft Defines his own Genre
First off, this collection is FAR better than the other Lovecraft anthologies available on audible. The HP Lovecraft Historical Society handles his works lovingly and their performances leave, to me, absolutely nothing to be desired. They hit the 'hysteria of mind numbing horror' feel far better than I imagined any would be able to going into the stories.
As for the stories themselves, well prepare yourself for a mixed bag. You have to remember this is ALL of Lovecraft's writings, not just the best or greatest. You can feel some of his early experimentation in some, and the hands of a master of his craft in others. The irony is that one of his earliest pieces in this anthology is my favorite, Under the Pyramids. WOW, what a thrilling piece of writing and one I find genuinely unnerving. Other stand out stories include The Mountains of Madness, the Case of Charles Dexter Ward and The Shadow out of Time. Some I didn't necessarily care for were The Color from Space and, ironically, The Call of C'thulu. Even the ones I cared for less were ultimately enjoyable though. And be forewarned, Lovecraft had a deep vocabulary and wasn't afraid to use it, so a few times you may need to look up a word or two as I did. Oh, and yes he has some racist moments but he was a product of the 20's and it shows. Just take it with a grain of salt and you'll be fine.

What a well put together collection! You can tell the narrators are fans of Lovecraft, and have done this as a labor of love. Well done.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for.
I’ve gotten several other HPL collections to listen to and they have all been awful in some way or another. But these guys really deliver a fantastic performance and cover a much wider range of stories and shorts than any other collection I’ve tried. Highly recommend

A single major flaw
The recording was lovingly done with meticulous detail done to pacing and tone, accurately conveying tension. The only flaw is that no chapter is named. Over 50 hours of audio and there is no way to jump to a recording and no way to know which story is where. This NEEDS to be fixed.

Beautifully Horrifying
Highly recommend this audio book! To those new to H.P. Lovecraft I'd recommend listing to The Call of Cthulhu first. This really gives you an idea of what his writing style is like, as well as understanding the lore behind the Great Old Ones. As far as narration goes 5/5.

not the complete fiction
this recording leaves out most of Lovecrat's collaborations, and as such cannot be called complete.
