I'm a fan of Lovecraft. Most of these stories are well known to me as I have a battered old copy of his complete works. His fiction is hard to get into because his language is quite old fashion and clunky at times. It took reading a few stories to adjust to his style and tone. This is a much easier task listening to the audiobook and my ear adjusted to the language much quicker. I was impressed by the quality of this audiobook. All of Lovecraft's best-known tales are her but my favourites are The Music of Eric Zann, The Rats in the Walls, The Shunned House, The Dunwich Horror and The Whisperer in Darkness. This is a must for Lovecraft fans.
