Product Description

Product Description

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, has been hailed by literary critics as the inventor of modern horror, and a cultivating force behind such modern writers as Robert Bloch (Psycho), Wes Craven (The Craft, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream), and Stephen King (Pet Semetary, Carrie, Children of the Corn), just to name a few. The Rats In The Walls: After its complete restoration, the narrator of this tale moves into his ancestral family home. Soon afterward, however, he begins to hear noises in the walls. Suspecting rats, he sets out traps but finds these vermin are not the kind so easily dispatched. One of the all-time creepiest of Lovecraft's tales. The Shunned House: In the city of Providence stands an antique home of which everyone whispers. Never called haunted exactly, it is known as a place unlucky, one in which people have supposedly died in alarmingly great numbers. This is what Lovecraft's narrator tells us, just before he and his uncle begin a series of investigations into the old place, a place with a terrible odor, one that is stronger in the basement than any place else. The Music Of Eric Zann: In the city of Lights, an impoverished student hears incredible music coming from peaked garret overhead. He knows little of the violin, but is certain from the fantastic pieces he hears night after night that he is in the presence of a highly original genius. But, it isn't long before he finds himself wondering, why does Zann only play at night? And why every night? Brought to life again by the incomparable Wayne June, come horrors from the mind of the Master himself, in the way that only he can. Approx. 3.5 Hours

5.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric 'straight' reading of HPL, May 11 2010

This review is from: The Dark Worlds of H. P. Lovecraft, Volume 4 (Audio CD)
Unlike other audio recordings I've listened to of Lovecraft's work, Wayne June's eschews hamminess or camping it up even at the stories' most lurid moments: he takes it all uniformly seriously throughout, which is all to the good, and his voice has a pleasing timbre. This set contains three unabridged readings of some of Lovecraft's best stories, 'The Rats In The Walls', 'The Shunned House', and 'The Music of Eric Zann'. All make for good audio experiences, though perhaps the 'historical' segment of 'The Shunned House' feels a little slow. One minor note, and one minor criticism. The minor note: in the original 'Rats' the narrator's cat was named Niggerman (after Lovecraft's own childhood pet). Here, to avoid needless offence, he is re-christened 'Mister Blackman', which is fine but of course fails to achieve the same stress-pattern in terms of prose-rhythm. The minor criticism: Mr June isn't too hot on French pronunciation, rendering Gilles de Rais as (hard-g) Gillis der Rates, as opposed to Jeelz de Ray, and fumbles a few other French names. Otherwise entirely a pleasure.
