Fabulous Introduction to Lovecraft

Great stories, beautifully curated by Ellen Datlow and Neil Gaiman, with a compelling and mesmerizing performance by Bernard Clark, who is a vocal chameleon.

Brilliant and diverse

A great collection of stories; some short and creepy, some long and many-layered; sunk deep within the mythos. Fellow Lovecraft fans will enjoy it.

Incredible Talent by the Narrator

In addition to the story selection being a varied collection of fun and good takes on Lovecraft, the narrator really knocked this one out of the park and made the stories feel engaging

Female protagonist requires female narrator

This excellent story lacks only a female voice, or even an attempt at female voice, to improve heroine's characterization. Imaginative, covers new ground and a surprise, if ambiguous, ending

Bernard Clark is an outstanding narrator

he really adds a lot to the characters and stories, excellent work. there is a lot of variety to the stories despite being based on the same source material.
