Acerca de esta escucha
The 12-year solstice has come. And with it, a sinister carnival brings a new sense of terror and wonder to a small coastal town. An enormous shoe is washed up on the shore...a tiny man disguises himself as a mouse...a crow provides eyes for a blind innkeeper...and three curious adventures discover the gateway to the Land of Dreams - where you don't always get what you want, you get what you deserve....
Set in the same world as his award-winning story Paper Dragons, this book portrays a magical atmosphere of the 12-year solstice as it comes to a northern California coastal town.

Scott Crane abandoned his career as a professional poker player 20 years ago and hasn’t returned to Las Vegas, or held a hand of cards, in 10 years. But troubling nightmares about a strange poker game he once attended on a houseboat on Lake Mead are drawing him back to the magical city. For the mythic game he believed he won did not end that night in 1969—and the price of his winnings was his soul. Now, a pot far more strange and perilous than he ever could imagine depends on the turning of a card.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom - a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials - and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.

But Auntie Ida’s life was devastated the last time two young girls were at Guerdon Hall, and now her nieces’ arrival has reawakened an evil that has lain in wait for years.

The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

A Masterpiece
I first read this book in 1988. It has only improved in subsequent readings. The story invokes a magical version of California's North Coast sometime in the 19th century with gorgeous language and atmosphere. The narrator does a terrific job. So glad I treated myself to this audiobook!

Interesting story!
The selection of this story came after I won a free audiobook in one of the FB groups I follow. I wasn’t sure what genre I was going to go for. My usual is post-apocalyptic (especially zombies!), historical, supernatural. This story obviously doesn’t fit under those genres because I was in the mood for something different. I wasn’t sure how this story would go; I was a little confused at the beginning – the big shoe – that I thought it might be too fantastical for my taste. But I really liked this story. It was different, interesting, cute, weird, and held my attention. After listening to the audiobook version of this story, I wouldn’t have been surprised if I'd 'read' the book and stopped. The author uses a lot of figurative language, sometimes overdoing, in my opinion. I don’t mind analogies and whatnot, but they tend to scream out to me especially when used one after another. So I could easily see myself having gotten annoyed if I’d attempted to read this story.
I wasn't sure about the narrator in the beginning. He read fine, just fine. There was a monotonous quality to his voice. It wasn't until the story started moving that emotions could be heard in the narrator's voice, like suspense. He was good with that. Pausing when the scene called for it. I was left wondering how those parts were written. If the pauses (ellipses?) were included or if the narrator put them in himself. Either way, overall, he did a great job. I'd listen to him again.
