Spot on performances

Fantastic performances from the various readers are spot on for the content.
N.b some overt racism in the stories.

I love this collection of short stories. AMAZING!

I think H.P lovecraft just became my favorite author, if you like dark horror this is the book for you. Do not expect happy endings with this author

An excellent collection for H.P. Lovecraft Fans!!

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. While this isn't Lovecraft's entire collected works I found the selections to be very good. There are a number of narrators and I enjoyed some more than others, but I wouldn't say that any of them were bad. I would definitely recommend it!!

Great book, some narrators weren't great

I've enjoyed listening to this book! Some narrators weren't great, but I really enjoyed hearing the strange languages that Lovecraft's works were known for. He's super racist though. #audible1

Not my cup of tea

I listened to the firs 2 hours of the book and thought it was the same chapter on a loop. Every chapter starts with the same 3 min intro. I found it to be very boring, dry, and monotone. That’s just my opinion though.

great listen

A good classic

Sometimes very boring.
Interesting horror for it’s time. Over 100 years old.
Very repetitive in parts. But it’s only because it’s a compilation of the short stories.
