great first story

the first story is great! the rest is tooooooo Lovecraft-y. it's just so dang derivative, like fan fiction.

Solid collection of short cosmic horror stories but..

I liked the stories but just an uncomfortable preoccupation with characters penis. Every short story made sure to describe some character's penis and it was just weird and didn't add to the story at all. It is very weird. But if you can ignore every story going out of it's way to describe a penis then it's a solid collection of horror stories

The Nameless Dark

This is possibly the best collection I've read all year. The audio book version is phenomenal. The narrator does a wonderful job providing multiple voices to fit each character. The highlight for me was Mr. Lupus. The voices were believable and well-acted. I can't give enough stars for The Nameless Dark. I would highly recommend it to anyone enamoured with the darker side life. Other stories include the haunting, Transmission, the incredibly sad Tubby's Big Swim, and so many more. If I could suggest one audio book this year, it would be this one, without a doubt.

Some truely gruesome stories! Does Lovecraft proud

And some are kind of meh, but definetly not bad just seem to be not fully developed where theyre heavy in the development of character surrounding relationships etc but then once the climax of the story is underway it gets glossed over. That being said there were only 2 and were still very worth while listen.

That being said there are also some hellishly monstorious stories that would make Lovecraft shudder perhaps, tho i prefer classic horror being that in some stories the eluding to the kids mom smoking meth being a whore her boyfriends package waving around under his boxers and shit like that just repels me back to the prosaic and vulgar.

That being said i dont want to say anything about the context of the stories and ruin them, but if your a fan lovecraft of clarck ashton smith or the horror stories of robert e howard youll love this just an absolute must listen.

Also it must be said the narrator does a great job in this.

Absolutely fantastic!

Dark, moody stories with a lot of heart that are sure to satisfy any fan of modern cosmic horror. What sets Grau apart from many other writers working in the genre today is his stark, beautiful language and the way he moves between different places and time-periods without ever losing the feeling that every story is a small part of something far greater. Highly recommended.
