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.

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.

Superb collection

An amazing collection of Lovecraft's stories performed wonderfully by Andrew Leman & Sean Branney.

Also, they have updated the audiobook and now have changed the chapter numbers to the titles of each story.

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.

Perfection of the Hideous

A wonderful collection excellently narrated by Andrew Leman and Sean Branney. Admittedly, HPL can be a bit heavy going at times but he had an incredible imagination and ability to describe both the horrors and beauty of the earth and other worlds.

I don't feel engaged

There is no doubting the authors' love of HP Lovecraft, and there is a real feeling of trust in the authentic nature of their performance. But, as someone has mentioned elsewhere, there is a rhythm in many of the narrations that caused me to drift from the story, which I've never experienced with any of the other Lovecraft audio books I've bought. Originally I thought it was just my concentration, but having just heard Drago yesterday - a story I adore - I was concerned about the fact that it did not engage me. I listened to another performance of Drago, from another collection, and noticed that, while the other reading was a little less animated, I never 'left' the story. This has happened with me on many of the narrations in this collection. However, maybe it's a personal reaction to the theatrical performances of some of the stories. If it weren't for this, I'd give this 5 stars all round for the obvious love and authentic nature of the readings.

Disappointing.

I'm sad to say that I agree with previous reviews. the narrators rhythm tuned me out and I felt I couldn't even follow. I've always enjoyed many of Lovecraft's stories but I'm a bit gutted I wasted my last token.

Finding it hard to listen to

Not sure if it's the way it's being read but I"m finding it really difficult to understand what he's reading?

overperformed

wasn't very engaging. the narrator's were too theatrical which made the each story have this weird rhythm that makes you phase out.

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.
