OK

Darkness Wired. .
Like all collections you'll like some and not like others. And this book is no exception to that rule.
The books description is a little misleading,
but it is an entertaining read/listen nonetheless.
Narration is good.

Uneven Collection

The premise behind this collection was definitely interesting, but in practice some of the stories were ok or even good but the collection as a whole is uneven. The narration is solid however and does a good job of bringing the stories to life.

Mediocre at Best

Overall I wasn't very impressed with these stories. At best some were mildly entertaining, at worst some were preachy and boring. None really felt like they meshed with the Lovecraft mythos or were at all memorable. The intended theme of mythos monters vs technology felt like a swing and a miss.
Richard Hercher did a decent job narrating, but needs to slow down and enunciate a bit more. At times it sounds like he was trying to get through the book as quickly as he could.

Some hits, some misses

Overall there were some interesting concepts and sci-fi ideas but it was at times difficult to envision what was happening.
The "Skewed Perceptions" story shone as it did flow and properly describe what was happening and included intelligent dynamic characters that broke the mold a bit. The narrator was decent although sometimes rushed but I enjoyed the different accents used throughout the stories' characters.

Collection of Stories, taken in many directions

This is a collection of stories by a group of writers.
several of them had brief, but good plots. Given how all the writers had some free reign there was not a cohesive story. The narrator did a pretty good job of it though.
