Story
Bast knows how to bargain. The give-and-take of a negotiation is as familiar to him as the in-and-out of breathing; to watch him trade is to watch an artist at work. But even a master's brush can slip. When he accepts a gift, taking something for nothing, Bast's whole world is knocked askew, for he knows how to bargain - but not how to owe. From dawn to midnight over the course of a single day, follow the Kingkiller Chronicle's most charming fae as he schemes and sneaks, dancing into trouble and back out again with uncanny grace.

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.

Best Lovecraft Collection on Audible!

a great narration of some challenging material
Reviewed: 05-03-23
HPLS do a great job, though much of Lovecraft breaks modern story narrative convention to the point of being considered "poor writing". very happy to have a "warts and all" text, including all the uncomfortable racism. it allows a level of context for the time period which is commonly sterilised out now

in tragic need of an edit, both original and audio
Reviewed: 06-13-22
some pretty woeful audio editing interrupts the narrative constantly. a pretty low bar of production quality.

Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything

Story
In the Rutherford and Fry's comprehensive guidebook, they tell the complete story of the universe and absolutely everything in it - skipping over some of the boring parts. It's a celebration of the weirdness of the cosmos, the strangeness of humans and the very fact that amid all the mess, we can somehow make sense of life.

Great narration, compelling content and a great introduction to critical thinking about the world we live in. I am desperately hoping for a sequel.

Nice To Have Thrawn Back, But...

- Thrawn (Star Wars)
- By: Timothy Zahn

Zahn and Thompson are a dream combo
Reviewed: 06-25-17
a great insight into a back story for Thrawn that works either for the "new canon" or the old extended universe. Zahn is just a great story teller who also writes Starwars. Marc Thompson's character impressions make you forget it's only one person narrating. excellent.
