I love the narrator's voice and the warm, vinyl-like sound quality. It sounds like a 50's sci-fi horror film, which pairs perfectly with Lovecraft's stories. These audiobooks are delightfully dark and mysterious!

I, as an English student (self-taught student), now that I consider myself an Advanced Student, recently I started to read Lovecraft. Last night I read "The whisperer in darkness" and the sheer fear I felt is not equalled by any horror movie I've watched so far... The only one that gets close enough is the worldwide known "The Exorcist". But, while "The Exorcist" attacks the roots of religious (catholic) beliefs, Lovecraft deals with the most primal fears: fears of the unknown, of things unfathomable in space an time. The other two movies that gets close enough are "The thing" (El Enigma de otro mundo, title given in Latin america), and John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness"

LoL, no I'm not a Philistine. Lovecraft is beyond doubt the better writer (not even up for debate), but he was also writing for a different society -- a much more literate one.

If you lay it down with the round device towards you, you will plainly see that the hat represents a fish with its mouth open. Now you know something. Fish god and solar cross.

To an Englishman (like Watts), Gould simply sounds American.
