Quite good for a collection of fan novels.

The narration is really good. The stories are varied and interresting. Very good for fan fiction. They cover some more known gods and critters from the lore.

Authors Help Make Lovecraft Accessible

What made the experience of listening to The Gods of H. P. Lovecraft the most enjoyable?

The stories are remarkable enough on their own merit that you could probably have a parrot read them and I wouldn't care.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The various gods in these stories are a lot of fun.

Have you listened to any of David Stifel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Stife was fine. There are many occasions where a reader can bring a mediocre novel into good. I like that the performance came across as understated since I found the stories remarkable on their own merit. Sometimes the reader just needs to stay out of the stories way and Stifel does that.

Who was the most memorable character of The Gods of H. P. Lovecraft and why?

All the gods in these stories are great.

great stories!

Filled with great stories to keep you in that creepy feeling. If you love horror and love a creepy and scary atmosphere then this book will get you there.

Hits all the right Lovecraftian notes!

Excellent book! The compiled authors all have a wonderfully solid grasp of what makes Lovecraft such a macabre joy.

Narrator is soulless bored and undeserving.

Narrator is horrid
Should have tried harder, SHAME.
Great authors misrepresented by undeserving under skilled voice actor.
