About this listen

 Ten tales of horror, mystery, imagination and just plain down-home weirdness from the master of the macabre. Lovecraft is commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Stephen King has called him "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."©2009 Beautiful Books Ltd (P)2009 Beautiful Books Ltd Fantasy Fiction Scary

As a latecomer to Lovecraft, I have explored his works through Audible. Some collections are performed well, others are pedestrian. This version narrated by Rupert Degas is perhaps the best. Mr Degas' diction and phrasing are uncommonly good; and he adroitly manages the difficult task of sounding of the time, without sliding into caricature or ridiculousness. At some points (especially in the last story) Mr Degas' voice and style sound eerily like that of Richard Burton. 'The Hound', 'Cool Air' and 'From Beyond' are my favourite readings. I hope Mr Degas is commissioned to do more Lovecraft; he is a rare talent.

A superlative performance of well-curated tales
