That might be because this is a collection of separated stories written over a lifetime it might not be such an issue for one reading the stories over a lifetime. horrors that gets a bit tedious after a while. On the other hand, in many of these stories, there is the repetitive use of 'unimaginable' or 'unnamed' or 'indescribable' or 'unknown' or etc. There are clearly some stories I liked better than others. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? AC Doyle could have written his Sherlock Holmes stories that way, but didn't.

Elizabethan (?), when it doesn't need to be. I find it a bit forced and an overall distraction. Some people like that level of erudition.

I quite liked the accompanying historical commentary on Lovecraft's life, and his important contribution to the supernatural aspect of the genre is made quite evident.

I could have used more time to process one thought at a time. Longer pauses at the end of sentences would help. He hits his stride around an hour and a half in.When he does impersonations I could tell Finn was enjoying himself and it helped to distinguish characters.

John’s other performances before? How does this one compare?ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It's kind of goofy with the character voices while still staying true to the theme of it's work. I do not remember the audiobook's performers but the style is similar. Reminds me of a 'The Hobbit' reading from a different narrator a few months back in terms of performance. Lovecraft: The Complete Omnibus Collection, Volume I: 1917-1926 to and why? Lovecraft: The Complete Omnibus Collection, Volume I: 1917-1926 in three words, what would they be? Great Introduction to Lovecraft (2 hours in)
