This version of the classic tale, assembled by two legends of English literature and abridged by Peter Clines, is the terrifying supernatural true story of Robinson Crusoe as it has never been told before.

Robinson Crusoe is one of the most enduring adventures of the past four centuries and one of the most well-known works in the English language. Or is it?

Recently discovered amidst the papers of the 20th-century writer and historian H. P. Lovecraft is what claims to be the true story of Robinson Crusoe. Taken from the castaway's own journals and memoirs, and fact-checked by Lovecraft himself, it is free from many of Defoe's edits and alterations. From Lovecraft's work a much smoother, simpler tale emerges - but also a far more disturbing one.

Here Crusoe is revealed as a man bearing the terrible curse of the werewolf and the guilt that comes with it - a man with no real incentive to leave his island prison. The cannibals who terrorized Crusoe are revealed to be less human than ever before hinted at - worshippers of a malevolent octopus-headed god. And the island itself is a place of ancient, evil mysteries that threaten Crusoe's sanity - and his very soul.

Peter & Tim retell a classic story with that Lovecraft terror mixed in.
I would highly recommend.
Thanks again gentlemen.
Job well done!
They should look to do more like this.

TWISTED

Almost word for word of Defoe’s text w/ some hazy Lovecraftian nuance... Imo didn’t really bring all that much new to an already excellent adventure tale... Narration is superior and adds to the reading experience... Not the author’s best effort, but a passable listen...

Lovecraftian Rehash

Such a great and creative retelling of tales of Crusoe, with the Cthulu myth tied in. Narrator was perfect as well!

Wow!

Just so inventive

I applaude the effort of his reworking of a clasic tale but it was left lacking.

Not his usual caliber

This book started out really slow for me and I found it to be quite boring at times. I almost gave up in it a few times. A little over halfway through the book I started to enjoy it a little more. The only reason I didn't give up in this book is because I love the author's other books and the narrator is one of my favorites. It's a slow, but decent story. Its just about the same as the original Robinson Crusoe story except for the lycanthrope part of it.

Never having read Robinson Caruso, I am not so sure how close this volume is. It started slow. The language was arcane. It finally hooked me in. Tim Gerard Reynolds' narration was ofc putting. I kept hearing the voices of Hadrian and Royce from.his fantasy books.

Interesting idea not sure it was fleshed out

A reimagined Robinson Crusoe as a werewolf, with a Lovecraftian sidekick Friday offers a delightful alternative to Robert Louis Stevenson's original classic. What I enjoyed about this was the way RC is portrayed and his relationship with Friday. Both faithful to RLS's original yet drawing from various legendary horrors, the duo's adventures are entertaining and very appropriate for October, the Month of Horror.

I am a longtime fan of Peter Clines, which is how I discovered this little mentioned novel and I recommend to anyone who is a fan of Clines, Robinson Crusoe and/or werewolves.

Peter did a great job this book being most likely written in 2016 not sure if it was before 14 or the fold but adds to the storyline I hope he puts out another book very soon

Great twist on a clasic

I love Peter Clines' books. I adore his take on the Lovecraftian universe (looking at his book 14). However, I did not enjoy this. If you like Robinson Crusoe, you'll like this. If you like Lovecraft, you'll slog your way through and enjoy it. However, if you like Peter Clines' writing, this is NOT Peter Clines. It's Peter Clines taking on Daniel Defoe and it's definitely very Defoe.

The thing that saved me was the performance. I couldn't have gotten through it in a paperback/kindle.

Wanted to love it but ....
