About this listen

Last year, Night Shade Books unleashed The Book of Cthulhu onto an unsuspecting world. Critically acclaimed as the ultimate Cthulhu anthology” and a must read’ for fans of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos,” The Book of Cthulhu went where no collection of mythos tales had gone before: to the very edge of madness and beyond.

For nearly a century, H. P. Lovecraft’s tales of malevolent Great Old Ones existing beyond the dimensions of this world, beyond the borders of sanity, have captured and held the imaginations of writers and aficionados of the dark, the macabre, the fantastic, and the horrible. Now, because you demanded more, anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has risked all to dive back into the Cthulhu canon, combing through mind-shattering manuscripts and moldering tomes to bring you The Book of Cthulhu 2, with even more tales of tentacles, terror, and madness.

Featuring monstrous stories by many of weird fiction’s brightest lights, The Book of Cthulhu 2 brings you even more tales inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s greatest creation: The Cthulhu mythos. This year, the stars are rightI! I! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Editor reviews

Master of pulp horror H.P. Lovecraft’s enduring legacy is celebrated with an anthology of short fiction inspired by his writings and ideas. Teresa DeBerry and Fleet Cooper share performances ranging from awed to eerie as they vocally create the cosmic horror, the indifference of the universe to individual suffering, and the machinations of The Great Old Ones that are the hallmarks of Lovecraftian tales. Editor Lockhart combines previously published works with some written originally for this volume. Authors in this volume whose imagination Lovecraft inspired include Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, Fritz Leiber, and Caitlin Kiernan.

Any additional comments?

very good book well read and a good long listen that is always good I'd advise it for any lovecraft fan the stories are varied and take the mythos in some interesting directions

why part 2 first?

As with the book of cthulhu 1, this second anthology of lovecraftian tales edited by Ross e Lockhart gets my five stars. I only wish his third volume Cthulhu fhtagn was available as an audiobook. having read the print versions of all three I can honestly say that listening to the audio version really added to my enjoyment of each story. The selection of stories is good and the readers are wonderful . I'd go as far as saying the interpretation by the narrators is perfect they show a real understanding of the tales and I have listened to each many times. These collections are a worthy addition to the canon .

more please.

Please can we have more audiobook versions of other cthulhu mythos anthologys as there are very few. use this as a model on how to do it right.

as I've said my only complaint is that I need more of the same. ☺

perfect

R E Lockhart edits another amazing anthology

i listen to a lot of Lovecraft based stories...in fact i have ran out of them to listen too on audible:-(
I have listened too this set of tales four times now. its the best set of stories i have listened too by far. The narrators, especially the male narrator are great. Some of the stories stay with you and demand another listen.

Great stuff.
