No story titles!

Excellent stories from dark worlds, well narrated but there are no story titles, only chapters. no way of knowing where one story ends and another begins.

an unique experience

The book is great, i have the commemorative edition of the necronomicon and i read it with this narator that brings an atmosphere that i never felt before like that. he has a great voice and i love how he can make you feel in the lovecraftian world

Ian Gordon is the best.

In some sleepy and unnamed village, a child was born under the full moon of Samhain. The product of union between a muse and the dank night itself, Ian was named after his great grandfather, rumored to be the town crier of R'lye. The celestial cyclopian lantern illuminated the birth of such offspring, destined to chant the darkness.

Ian Gordon is incredible, not only in his performance, but also in delivery of what his many fans desire... the dark ease that flows in his every utterance.

I have many good readings of the same material, but his is my favorite of each selection.

My only possible criticism is that I would prefer titles rather than chapter numbers for navigation.

As Good as It Gets

Ian Gordon is the best self-published narrator I have come across. He has a passion for both Lovecraft and other Weird Tales authors which seriously come across in his readings. When you combine his zeal with an essential collection HPL's works, this is a glorious purchase.

A great voice

Ian Gordon gives a reading that held interest and brought the stories to life. a must have for Lovecraft fans.

errant punctuation, speech impediment

Hard to. Listen to. Narrator seems to want. To create his own. punctuation. Pausing, at every. Three words.

wonderful

As always it was a terrific listen. Thank you so much. My favourite Lovecraft story was included.

The Title is true to its word.

Im actually new to horror-babble. But I have yet to find any other place on the entire internet for horror audiobooks. The Narrator has a perfect voice and does a great job capturing the horror of Lovecraft. If you want to listen to Lovecraft audiobooks this is the best place to listen. You wont be disappointed.

Great books great reading

One of my favorite authors. Lovecraft is the best. Haven't EVER disliked a story he wrote.

Perfection!

I love it! Hope there will be another collection. So many beautiful tales still to be told by the wonderful HorrorBabble!!!

Very Good, let down by Audible's lack of features

Edit to add: Lovecraft had horrible racist views and it is apparent in many of the stories. Having read the books a number of times I find myself simultaneously appreciating the writing more but the racism becomes more apparent and offsets this. This isn't horrorbabbles problem, but as I give the stories a 5 star review I feel I should point that out.

The performance and quality is very good in my opinion. It is a shame audible doesn't have features to name each chapter, that makes this type of collections very hard to navigate... Also Audible, let us organise our own libraries into categories of our own choosing, I have 100's of books and it is a nightmare to find what I want to listen to.

OK here is me doing Audibles job... The contents of this Audiobook are as follows, each chapter number corresponds to these books, chapter 1 is an intro. Some of the larger books are split into separate chapters, I have labelled these as 2 3 4 etc. So Chapter 19 is The Dunwitch Horror part 5. Apologies if not spelled correctly. I am currently listening to 9: The Hound

The narrator does a good job, I think the voice matches the books well, I find it easy to listen to at night going to sleep and I have no issues with quality thus far.

The best adaptation to date.

As someone who's been reading HPL since I was about 11 (I'm now in my 40s) I've listened to a lot of adaptations from radio plays to society adaptations and everywhere in between.
Thus far, no one has been able to read in such a manner that WORKED for me, be it due to their timbre, speed or pronunciation of words..or so I thought.
A friend, knowing of my love for Lovectaft's works directed me to the YouTube channel for Horrorbabble and my love for Ian's work was born.
With great production values, a voice well suited to the style of writing and an clear understanding of the use of speed and volume in expressing suspense, Ian brings the work to life.

Perfect atmosphere

This audiobook creates the ideal atmosphere for these kind of stories it makes them trully scary

Excellent narration

Ian Gordon is the most skilled narrator I have come across on Audible by a long way. Will definitely be purchasing more recordings from HorrorBabble.

Lovecraft’s stories are classics and require no comment.

Just a mess of a chapter structure

Lovecraft's works, well read, but arranged in the least convenient way. Include chapter titles, guys!

Great collection

I like the ambiance the company used a lot to help set the story’s! Overall great voice acting a treat to any lovecraft fans

The best collection of lovecraft.

I know horrorbabble from Youtube. He has made a lot of reading of classic horror. I highly recomend them!

Cannot deny its influence on modern fiction

Initial disclaimer: the man was inexcusably xenophobic.

The man also had ideas which were a complete departure from the norm, and pop culture is the better for it.

After listening to every single story, I can now connect so many threads from modern sci fi, fantasy and horror to his original works and ideas that it is truly baffling.

1000% worth the listen. The adjectives are morbidly overused and the verbiage is grotesque and half repetitive (you'll see what I mean) but still an undeniable milestone in our understanding and love of the occult, supernatural and fantastical.

The narration is great in my opinion and matches the tone of the stories wonderfully.

Lovecraft at its best

what can I say amazing , long audible but worth it . best horror author ever

Intoxicating Horror

Well written, Well Narated, Hypnotising, thought provoking, eye opening, breaks down the barriers between the listener and the story teller. It almost becomes your own thoughts Narating the story. incredible. Lovecraft was a Genius. Well executed Naration.
