About this listen
In his Commonplace Book and and his lengthy essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature", author H.P. Lovecraft carefully assessed weird tales through the ages. He named a great many stories that he admired. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has curated a collection of 43 of the best of them and recorded them as audiobooks for your listening enjoyment. Read by the HPLHS' own Andrew Leman and Sean Branney and featuring original music by Troy Sterling Nies, these eerie tales will delight your mind and chill your blood.
This collection features 43 tales totaling roughly 50 hours of thrilling storytelling by masters including Blackwood, Dickens, Kipling, Machen, Chambers, Conan Doyle, and Poe. You'll likely meet new authors whose works you may not know. The collection features a special audio afterword in which Mssrs. Branney and Leman share their thoughts as editors and readers of the collection in a casual conversation.

Thomas Ligotti’s debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Wonderful performance
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Also this audiobook has narration by professional actors so it sounds top notch.
One of the narrators is Andrew Leman, and I have this B-Romantic obsession with Andrew Leman.
Why?
Because Andrew Leman's voice sounds just like the actor who is my actual homosexual man-crush-obsession: Mark Hamill.
What? Mark Hamill is too old to have a crush on?
It's like this, I have this actual homosexual man-crush because this homosexual man-crush started when I was 15 years old and I saw the first STAR WARS movie in the theater (23 times).
It just never wore off.
the very best chapter breaks... E V E R !
