H. P. Lovecraft – Horror Stories Vol. I

Written by H.P. Lovecraft

Narrated by Librinpillole

This way lies monsters and madness. Because you’re about to enter the imagination of H.P. Lovecraft. A master of the short story form, Lovecraft made the unknowable scarily real. Parallel universes, alien worlds, vengeful spirits—all realised in the space of a few pages. And all brought to life with spare, simple language, making Lovecraft’s fiction an easy read for modern audiences. This volume contains five of his short stories: “The Horror at Martin’s Beach”, “The Nameless City”, “The Ghost Eater”, “The Crawling Chaos” and “The Doom that Came to Sarnath”. It’s an essential collection for fans of otherworldly horror. H.P. Lovecraft was an American horror and science fiction writer. Born in Rhode Island, he became a pioneer of ‘cosmic horror’, conjuring up a lore of supernatural creatures who exist beyond our understanding. His best known stories include “The Call of Cthulhu”, “At the Mountains of Madness” and “The Colour Out of Space”. While he was a mainstay of pulp magazines, Lovecraft never achieved wider literary recognition in his lifetime. But his posthumous influence has been profound. It can be found in everything from the fiction of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman to the HBO series “Lovecraft Country”.

H.P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was born in New England, a landscape that he turned into a stage of fiction. His stories inherited the tradition of gothic horror tales from authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, but Lovecraft set his own standards. His first stories appeared in Weird Tales, a pulp magazine. “The Call of Cthulhu” (1926), a short story about a monstrous deity that inhabits the Earth, is the base of the myths related to the Cthulhu Mythos, a genre of horror fiction launched by Lovecraft. In its world, populated by beings of other dimensions, the laws of humanity are worthless. But man is incapable of understanding its insignificance in the face of the magnitude of the cosmos.

[Grant Schweitzer · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

AWESOME! Amazing job on the narration and sound effects! H.P. Lovecraft is always hauntingly spectacular, but any effort on magnifying his genius by adding great narration and incredible sound effects is always going to get my listen.

Some of this actually sounds like what is going on in the world today.
