Reviewed: 02-10-25
No, seriously. They have commercials between chapters. This is the single most obnoxious thing I’ve found on this site. Don’t reward this.

Story
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

I was entertained by most of its runtime, but very disappointed towards the end. Be warned?

Story
From an author never before published in the United States, Cursed Bunny is unique and imaginative, blending horror, sci-fi, fairytales, and speculative fiction into stories that defy categorization. By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung’s absurd, haunting universe could be our own, illuminating the ills of contemporary society.

Interesting writing, sleep-inducing narration.

They're fun stories, but the performance sounds like somebody reading an essay out loud in the flattest tone possible, and makes the language seem plain and simplistic even when it's not.

Story
It is the story of 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

Better at 1.5 speed
Reviewed: 10-19-20
Story gets a little confusing with the shifting perspectives, but is extraordinarily well written. The author/narrator talks very very slowly to the point where it’s distracting, but it works out okay at 1.3 to 1.5 speed.

Story
For the first time ever, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced an audio recording of all of Lovecraft's stories. These are not dramatizations like our Dark Adventure Radio Theatre - rather, this is an audiobook of the original stories, in all-new, never-before-heard recordings made by the HPLHS' own Andrew Leman and Sean Branney exclusively for this collection. This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

Great to finally know what all the fuss is about.
Reviewed: 08-05-20
H. P. Lovecraft is a weird guy. Scared of everything and cringingly racist, but his slow and descriptive language is fun to fall into, and the narrators do a fantastic job. A lot of his ideas have survived and been improved upon in later fiction, and it's nice to finally be familiar with the source of so many well-used sci-fi horror tropes. The stories themselves are alright; some are really good and some are pretty pedestrian, but as a collection of culturally significant artifacts, this collection is definitely worth a listen. You might not like him as a person much after you've actually heard all of his words, but you'll understand the nods to him in more popular fiction a lot better.

This classic deserves better
- By Matthew Salvo on 07-01-21
It’s like several different recordings mashed together
Reviewed: 08-03-20
All of the narrators are perfectly competent, but some chapters are narrated fully by one man while others have a full voice cast coming in to play different characters that just a few seconds before were voiced by the narrator. It seems to be totally at random and it’s hugely distracting, to the point where it’s difficult to track when two different events were actually written to involve the same character. I have no idea what the reasoning was for this, but it sabotages continuity through the whole thing.
