A better narrator.Who was your favorite character and why?
Not the narrator.How could the performance have been better?
The performance was an awful sing-song take on H.P Lovecraft's literature.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Omnibus Collection, Volume I: 1917-1926?

As a long time super fan of Mr Lovecraft this collection (together with Vol2) are superbly put together and wonderfully narrated. The interspersed history of Lovecraft really helps to set the emotions that the author was experiencing at the time and enhances the listening experiences. As mentioned, the narration is exceptional and the almost laconic style builds the tension to fever pitch. Thank You!Brilliant

Would you listen to H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Omnibus Collection, Volume I: 1917-1926 again? Why?
Yes. Why? Because I want to run in to gibbous night and howl at the moon as a batrachian custodian of the silver key.What did you like best about this story?
Af ew stories here I'd not read/heard.Which character – as performed by Finn J.D. John – was your favourite?
Charles Dexter Ward.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if I had the stamina. Alas going to sleep with the headphones on didn't open the gateway that is Yog-Sothoth. Maybe tonight.Any additional comments?
Unlike most semi-professional productions, Finn J.D. John can actually read well. The collection is interspersed with a fair amount of Lovecraft's biographical background that puts the tales in context. A longer and deeper exposition of Cosmicism and its post-Lovecraft developments would have been interesting. Other than that it's an excellent and accomplished effort, and clearly a labour of love. Kudos to Finn J.D. John!Nicely done.
