The expression on his face may easily have arisen from some obscure muscular source unrelated to anything he saw, while the entries in his diary are clearly the result of a fantastic imagination aroused by certain local superstitions and by certain old matters he had uncovered.

As for the anomalous conditions at the deserted church of Federal Hill—the shrewd analyst is not slow in attributing them to some charlatanry, conscious or unconscious, with at least some of which Blake was secretly connected.

Nobody reads Lovecraft like Wayne June. This was only two stories by H. Regardless - the stories were classic horror. The unknown evil that is pervading and invisible with a bunch of unwitting locals left to deal with the strangeness and overcome the Aliens.

It was obvious that H. Lovecraft has a This was only two stories by H. Lovecraft has a thing for evil Aliens. And tentacles But fear not - spoiler alert - the aliens are always defeated. You definitely have to be in the right frame of mind to read this the audio is great by the way, as you just let yourself go back to a time when there's no fast way to deal with anything , as we're so not in this world anymore it becomes almost hard to relate to.

All true horror fans should read the classics. Every horror fan should ready the classics. I have always wanted to love Lovecraft. He is the father of horror and the weird. I believe I am just one of those people who loves works "inspired" by H. Loveraft and not necessarily someone who loves HIS work. I'm ok with that. I am going to try and take down a few more of th All true horror fans should read the classics.

I am going to try and take down a few more of the more "well known" of his work and call it good. Jan 20, Parker rated it liked it. Once again - you have to acknowledge what you're getting into with some classics. Lovecraft was super racist, and some of that comes through in this. I think it is possible to look at elements of the book as a product of their time, and ignore the racist stuff. I particularly enjoyed it because I've enjoyed other works that are clearly Lovecraft inspired, and to see the original context for those ideas is super cool.

Nov 12, Jack rated it liked it Shelves: america , fiction , short-stories , novellas , horror. Interesting, and incredibly influential. Calling it overwrought might be missing the point, but it's hard to escape the fact that large sections are just bad. It's also exactly as racist as everyone says.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth is a better Lovecraft introduction, having as it does, an actual plot. Jun 30, Joshua rated it really liked it. I enjoyed reading this collection of works from the master of cosmic horror. I wholeheartedly recommend the audiobook version narrated by Wayne June.

He has the perfect vocal talent to convey Lovecraft's atmospheric world-building and knee-weakening existential dread. Jun 23, James Bullinger rated it it was ok. Fun ideas but boring style. I started reading H. Lovercraft mainly because Stephen King got inspired from this guy and that's the main motivation behind "April 25, — Lovercraft mainly because Stephen King got inspired from this guy and that's the main motivation behind his all works I reached 2 hour - , and it sucks!

I've been reading a lot of spooky and disturbing stuff this fall, including works by Joe Hill, Brian Evenson, Paul Tremblay, Dan Chaon, and others, but nothing hits quite like some Lovecraft. I admit, I haven't read tons of Lovecraft, but the mythology he creates is so unique, fascinating, frightening, and so ahead of its time that it's baffling to think of the creativity behind these stories.

The monsters and myths here lie often on the periphery. Lovecraft doesn't give us a really solid look a I've been reading a lot of spooky and disturbing stuff this fall, including works by Joe Hill, Brian Evenson, Paul Tremblay, Dan Chaon, and others, but nothing hits quite like some Lovecraft. Lovecraft doesn't give us a really solid look at any of his monsters in either of these stories, and that fear of the 'unknown' works really well here. The stories read almost like found footage narratives, in which everyday people try to piece together the clues they've been given that lead to world-altering revelations.

The reader spends time with these scholars, never fully in the thick of things, but getting just enough to understand the terrifying implications. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. The one thing that rubs me wrong is Lovecraft's exoticizing of people of color. You can call Lovecraft a 'product of his time' or whatever, but that doesn't make the racism any more digestible. Apr 23, Lance rated it liked it. This is the audiobook as I'm trying to get more into audiobooks as I feel they could help me read while on the go.

I have already read both of these books in their physical form and I felt as though the narrator made these books lacked in the area's which were important. I found the following: The Dunwich horror is one of the best books by H. Lovecraft in my opinion and heavily influences a lot of his other books. I feel as though this book lacked a great deal of depth and felt as though there This is the audiobook as I'm trying to get more into audiobooks as I feel they could help me read while on the go.

I feel as though this book lacked a great deal of depth and felt as though there were times in which it could have been expanded upon, also it's hard to tell that it was being read in the third person perspective.

The call of Cthulhu was the second book which I listened to in this option and while I did enjoy it. I feel as though there are parts which I could use to explain other things or even you have missed in the audiobook. I feel as though you should do yourself a favor and get the complete works from H. Lovecraft rather than just some of the books. Apr 20, Pat rated it it was amazing. Cthulhu is likely Lovecraft's best known creation, and for good reason.

It weaves its way into many of his other stories, and it really is larger than life. Think Thanos of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. An ancient god, whose followers are few but fiercely loyal to the death. Any student of culture or literature should read at least this one story, for its existence has become ubiquitous in North America today. I myself follow Cthulhu4america, a funny Twitter account created for the American election The other story in this volume tells the long and twisted tale of magic, monsters, and uncertain parentage.

As well, the use of the Necronomicon, a repeated book in Lovecraft's writings, makes an appearance here. A creepy tale, worth reading. I preferred "Call of Cthulhu" to "The Dunwich Horror," although I have to say I didn't much enjoy either as a story - the mythology and imagination is so strong, however, that I came away curious to read more Lovecraft and impressed with just how influential the world he created seemed to be. In these two stories, I heard echoes that reverberated not just in works like Rosemary's Baby , Children of the Corn , Twin Peaks , and Prince of Darkness , but, amazingly, also in the local urban legends I hea I preferred "Call of Cthulhu" to "The Dunwich Horror," although I have to say I didn't much enjoy either as a story - the mythology and imagination is so strong, however, that I came away curious to read more Lovecraft and impressed with just how influential the world he created seemed to be.

In these two stories, I heard echoes that reverberated not just in works like Rosemary's Baby , Children of the Corn , Twin Peaks , and Prince of Darkness , but, amazingly, also in the local urban legends I heard growing up - specifically, the eerie demonic turns and mythical albino colonies on Hicks Road in San Jose seem clearly drawn from "The Dunwich Horror. I've always wanted to like Lovecraft, as I love the ideas and cosmic horror etc, but I have never given his books a go because based on what I'd heard from other people, his writing style is just not for me.

Now, having listened to the Audio book, I can conclude several things: 1. I greatly enjoy Lovecraft's stories. The Dunnwich Horror in particular was fantastic. His writing style is indeed not for me, and if I had attempted to read the stories rather than listen to them I would not have been I've always wanted to like Lovecraft, as I love the ideas and cosmic horror etc, but I have never given his books a go because based on what I'd heard from other people, his writing style is just not for me.
