Fabulous Introduction to Lovecraft

Great stories, beautifully curated by Ellen Datlow and Neil Gaiman, with a compelling and mesmerizing performance by Bernard Clark, who is a vocal chameleon.

Brilliant and diverse

A great collection of stories; some short and creepy, some long and many-layered; sunk deep within the mythos. Fellow Lovecraft fans will enjoy it.

Incredible Talent by the Narrator

In addition to the story selection being a varied collection of fun and good takes on Lovecraft, the narrator really knocked this one out of the park and made the stories feel engaging
