Perhaps the most influential science book ever written, On the Origin of Species has continued to fascinate for more than a century after its initial publication. Its controversial theory that populations evolve and adapt through a process known as natural selection led to heated scientific, philosophical, and religious debate, revolutionizing every discipline in its wake. With its clear, concise, and surprisingly enjoyable prose, On the Origin of Species is both captivating and edifying.

Not the first edition.
Revisado: 05-13-22
For those who care about these things, this audiobook is based on a later edition of the book--probably the sixth, though this is not specified in the description. If you're looking for the first edition, try the Penguin audiobook.

The Lurking Fear includes examples of Lovecraft's earliest weird fiction including "Hypnos", "What the Moon Brings", "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs", and "Memory" (inspiration for the 2014 film of the same name), as well as the title story, "The Lurking Fear", a traditional horror study commissioned by George Julian Houtain to be run as a serial in Home Brew magazine in 1923 that has served as the source material for multiple films and been adapted into a comic book.

Missing a couple pages of text
Revisado: 09-19-20
Great readings overall, but about five minutes worth of reading of the second installment of "The Lurking Fear" are inexplicably missing from the middle of this chapter (and clearly not left out as an editorial "choice"). Note that the "Pharaohs" story is also known as "Under the Pyramids": the unnamed narrator is Harry Houdini and the story was originally published under his name (i.e., Lovecraft was the ghostwriter).

Poe is best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre and this story is no exception. In it, a man's life is seemingly ruined by one he considers an arch enemy - until a startling revelation at the end of the story.

Falsely advertised as unabridged
Revisado: 12-31-18
Extensive passages of descriptive text have been excised. Probably explains why this reading of the story is about 10-15 minutes shorter than other versions available on Audible. Can't recommend this.

This volume is not unabridged inasumch as it contains only five of the seven stories that were originally included in James's More Ghost Stories. The stories Casting the Runes and Martin's Close are missing. Otherwise the reading is okay and the stories themselves are classic James.

Well at least it was free from Audible. Hard to believe Patterson is one of the world's best selling authors with drek like this.

Chapter 17 is completely missing from recording
Revisado: 12-24-15
Would you try another book from Alan Garner and/or Wayne Forester?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
The performance of this book is very good, but the apparently accidental omission of an entire chapter is inexcusable. Chapter 17 is short but contains key exposition, and the rest of the book is confusing in its absence. If you purchase this audiobook, you should have a print copy handy if you don't want to be confused by the missing chapter.
