HP Lovecraft Audio Collection

Post by Cloak n' Dagger »

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced a Complete Fiction of HPL as an audio book consisting of 74 stories. The store offers a full digital download for $50 or a collector's edition which includes a custom thumb drive (which includes all audio) and a faux library book to house the drive, for $75.

There are some nice audio samples from various stories being read which you can find by scrolling down on the page.
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. Working from texts prepared by Lovecraft scholar S.T. Joshi, 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. This audio bonanza features seventy-four stories adding up to more than fifty (50!) hours of Lovecraftian listening fun, professionally performed and recorded for your enjoyment.

From the audio samples that I heard, I think I'll pass. I guess vocal performers a matter of taste, esp. with audio books. You gotta use professionals -- not well-meaning, yet untrained, fanboiz.

I prefer the neutral robotic voice of kindle's text-to-speech
