Reviews for The Dark Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very atmospheric. A nightmare inducing read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not nearly as good as I was hoping, Lovecraft is supposedly one of the greatest horror writers, but I didn't find this scary at all (and only moderately intriguing). Very disappointing
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wayne June reads two of Lovecraft's best-executed stories, The Dunwich Horror and The Call of Cthulhu, in the tone of a staid man of common sense, say a business manager or a pedantic scholar, who has been brought unwillingly to believe in strange and terrible things. His approach underlines Lovecraft's strengths while covering his faults. An excellent afternoon's entertainment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Includes The Dunwich Horror (1926) and The Call of Cthulhu (1928). Both creepy tales that are perfect for the fall.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5- audiobook - my first Lovecraft ever. The narrator was super annoying and his voice was really deep which made it hard to understand him over the sound of the wind and/or traffic when walking outside (which is when I do 99% of my audiobook-listening). Overall I liked the stories a lot but I think I will stick to reading Lovecraft in the future, especially to avoid this narrator. This volume contains The Dunwich Horror and The Call of Cthulhu.The Dunwich Horror - Crazy witch-man has a crazy albino daughter who has a crazy witch son who grows to be the size of a giant man by the time he's 7. They perform weird noisy rituals on an altarstone on a hill on the summer and winter solstice. They constantly buy lots and lots and lots of cows, which all disappear. But I'm sure they're not raising any kind of monster in their barn. Nothing to see here.The Call of Cthulhu - A man investigating his uncle's death uncovers the fact that many different cults from around the world worship the same octopus/man/monster and try to call him up from where he is resting. Very good, highly recommended if you like science fiction and short stories; I'll definitely be reading more.
