This is a good narration of one of Lord Dunsany’s works. Dunsany influenced Lovecraft, and you can hear echos of Lovecraft’s fantasy works in its prose.

The only thing that I found annoying was that the narrator kept mispronouncing the word chant.

Great Book

The book itself is a world-building anthology of short snippets of myths detailing the gods and prophets of Lord Dunsany's Pegana. I'm certainly biased since I'm a huge sucker for this kind of readings, so I'm definitely satisfied.
The reading is clear and easy to digest, without any weird accent, just the kind of reading I need. The only thing that bugs me is that the reader has so little emotion in his voice during the first few chapters that it kinda killed immersion.

Nice introduction to the world of Lord Dunsany

Great story, but reader has a boyish voice laden with mispronunciation and awkward midsentence stumbles

Bad reader
