    About this audiobook

    Considered to the be one of most influential American authors, Howard Philip Lovecraft is synonymous with some of the best fantasy and horror fiction of the 20th century, second only to Edgar Allan Poe. Innsmouth is a dilapidated seaside town with secrets as a hybrid race of half-human and half-amphibian creatures worship the gods of Cthulhu and Dagon… Written in 1931, and published by the Visionary Publishing Company some five years later. “It’s a genre blessed with many great stylists, H.P.Lovecraft’s baroque imagination and outrageous use of language still manages to stand head and shoulders above the rest. A timeless master of the macabre and the true connoisseur of dread”. Michael Marshall-Smith.

      Perhaps bother learning how to correctly pronounce the name of the titular town.

      This is my first foray into H.P.'s work, and wow, good stuff. I like that it is written as a diary.
    • 5/5
      There are three audio book versions. This one is narrated best.
    • 5/5
      Very much enjoyed this reading of the story. Phil Reynolds did a great job narrating, and providing varied voice work when the story called for it.

      Lovecraft at his best! Now I understand all the references in movies and videogames. All the escence of his horror is contained in this title. Also its beautifully read. Im shure Ill remember this story for a long time.
    • 4/5
      First time I've come across the author and I'm highly impressed, what a wordsmith ?
    • 4/5
      Wonderfully read. This atmospheric and mysterious story is my so-far Lovecraft favourite, having only read The Color out of Space and At the Mountains of Madness.
