The Collaborations of H.P. Lovecraft

By: H. P. Lovecraft

Narrated by: H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced the definitive audio recording of Lovecraft's collaboration tales. These are not dramatizations like our Dark Adventure Radio Theatre - rather, this is an audiobook of the 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 features stories HPL wrote with other authors and includes, “The Curse of Yig” (with Zealia Bishop), “The Horror in the Museum”, “The Mound”, “The Night Ocean” (with R.H. Barlow), and many others. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies. This collection features 33 stories adding up to more than 23 hours of Lovecraftian listening fun, professionally performed and recorded for your enjoyment.

The One to Get. (But Get Them All)

Interested in Lovecraft? Enter his world! HPLHS has put their indelible mark on the man's masterpieces forevermore. As a Star Trek fan I would compare narrator Branney's voice to a husky Doug Jones (as Saru, the best character on the otherwise drab Discovery), and narrator Leman's voice to a bittersweet LeVar Burton, legendary Geordi LaForge from The Next Generation. This is essential listening, the greatest of all the excellent HPLHS releases.

Wonderful for all Lovecraft fans

Only a couple of stories were anything but excellent. this is a must have for all Lovecraft fans! two of my fav narrators as well!

Excellent! And it has a Table of Contents!

Another excellent work by Andrew Leman and Sean Branney. I heard someone say they could listen to Andrew read the phonebook and it would give them the chills, and I think that's probably true! These guys are fantastic! They go to very great lengths to make sure everything is read well and pronounced correctly.

And one of my favorite things about their stuff... it actually has a table of contents! I have seen many other audiobook collections where even though the chapters all have titles (especially if there was a print version), in Audible it's all Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Makes it very difficult to find what you're looking for. No so for these guys! They made sure everything was titled, so you can easily find what stories you're looking for.

I recommend the performances

I recommend the performances. This collection is best for Lovecraft aficionados interested in just about anything he wrote.

The Complete Stories would be better for readers new to Lovecraft.

Go, HPLHS! You do great work.

Excellent in every way

If you are a Lovecraft fan, there is probably no better selection possible than this book.

Essential addition

There are some really good stories in this one you’ll miss if you only listen to 'The Complete Fiction […]' !

Not a podcast

Great collection of stories and wonderfully narrated. Please ignore reviewers with reading comprehension problems.

Some Diamonds in the Rough

Most were decent enough, but some stood out as genuine Yog-Sothothery such as: The Horror in the Museum, The Last Test, The Electric Excecutioner, Til a' the Seas, and the Tree on the Hill all come to mind. The Night Ocean was good in a different way, it struck a more poetic and colorful chord than usual, altogether quite good.

opinions show true horror of human nature

it starts with the readers gong on and on about HPL but the stories are very well read with emotions and all, not monotone as some of the others.
if you are looking for horror stories even if you are not a HPL fan this is an excellent read, it will keep you entertained for a long drive.
also please be aware the stories are read as they were written with the writer's prejudice and judgment of other cultures, which in my opinion is the true horror of human nature, i was aware of HPL prejudice but some of these stories make it very clear.
I love the universe HPL created but it definitely put for me some of his other stories in different light.
A great read for a long drive home.

another collection well done by the HPLHS

I loved this collection, it goes well with the complete fiction. worth a listen. Although I would suggest listening to the complete fiction first.
