a terrificly creepy story and really well read! there are some blatant racist words in there but if you listen to it (which you should) if you like these stories then you should remember that when it was written they probably didn't know what racism was! the voices he does in this are fantastic and I could picture them really well. hope I can find more with him reading. And if you like his voice try Mike Bennett too!
Fascinatinf story and great reading

Love the level of performance here. Classy and subtle but still exciting and with lots of accents to differentiate people. The story is interesting and exciting and has lots of info to keep me going in my HPL investigations.
Delightful

One of the most quirky stories I ever heard, and seems to be a possible remote inspiration for the Harry Potter books. Interesting weaving of old pagan rites that summon other worldly dimensional beings. I wonder if there is some connection to Aleister Crowley's ritual sex magick that gave imagination to H.P. Lovecraft's writings.
fun apocalyptic terror

fantasy? horror? science fiction? psychological thriller? it's a weird tale representative of the metaphysical speculations of the early 20th Century mixed with Jungian tropes of Psyche and Symbol. it is also read very well. I am getting hooked by the mythos.

Deliciously creepy and suspicious of backwoods folk. Atmospheric and sparingly drawn. You'll not soon forget this 1920's tale. Also an excellent and generous narration style. Thank you for our hard work!
Great short horror story

Lovecraft fashion through and through. A great little tale of mystery and mysticism with imagery that chills and makes one feel as if walking in the shaking books of the story's charcters.

The ending gets me every time I've read this. "It looked more like the father than he did" makes you really think about the whole mess that the book built up to.
