Historia
A mysterious suicide. Horrific specters walking the streets. A drug that promises to change the world. An apocalyptic cult. Something is stirring in the city of Duluth, Minnesota. Ever since a celebrated researcher announced the creation of a new experimental drug - a drug with the potential to cure the mind of countless ills - people have been disappearing. When a grad student involved with the drug's development unexpectedly commits suicide, a private detective is tasked with unearthing the details of her tumultuous final days. This miracle drug may not be what it seems.

Wasn't really impressed.
Revisado: 07-12-18
Seems like a Cthulu wannabe. Also, there were some unanswered questions. It seems to me that someone went to a lot of trouble to throw a god-like being into a hole. I'd bet they'd be wanting to keep him there, regardless of how they felt about Humanity. I certainly would and thus the story misses a great opportunity for actual conflict.
The main human antagonist was pretty much like an after thought. Also, this "Godhead" thing while not only coming across with its one-line- one-trick gimmick was definitely a poor man's Cthulu. Also, the creature and his toadies came across in my mind like something ripped from a Samurai Jack cartoon. As a result of these deficiencies the whole story was pretty much toothless. There were some good moments, to be sure, but much of it felt like he'd watched a bad horror movie one night and thought he could top it.
On the whole, while I respect the fact that the Mr. Ibsen has most certainly published more than I have. I'd never have tried to publish this, not unless I was coming to my publisher shame faced and hat in hand. I certainly hope he does a sequel and uses the opportunity to correct this half-hearted effort.
To be sure, I mostly enjoyed Hempels narration, and I hate to add further criticism, but he did seem to have trouble with simple words and couldn't seem to get away from his female voice even with male characters. Like Tommy.

Historia
There's something out there in the dark. There's always something watching. There's always something reaching for you. Always. And sometimes there?s someone you can call. Someone you can hire. Someone who knows these dark streets and back alleys. Someone who knows how things work in this part of town. Private eyes who are often as dark as the things they hunt. Investigators who know how to look in the shadows for the things that go bump. Good guys but not always nice guys. Hardboiled Horror collects fifteen original tales of noir mystery shot through with elements of horror and the supernatural.

Well written and interesting tales.
Revisado: 07-10-18
I truly enjoyed these stories. a couple were so-so for me personally like the very last one. It made me think of that Canadian series Lost Girl. I couldn't stand that show.
I really must say, Audible, if you guys have any control over this, then please for the love of literature get female narrators for stories like the one with Artemis. ALL the characters were female and read by a male narrator. It truly takes away from the story.
I'm not sure I'm Gonna be reading Heather Graham anytime soon. That Krew of Hunters story really threw me off the rest of the series.

Definitely worth the buy I particularly enjoyed the second Jack O' Lantern story. Well done!

Historia
This statement was true when H. P. Lovecraft first wrote it at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it remains true at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The only thing that has changed is what is unknown. With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint. But this light creates its own shadows. The Best Horror of the Year, edited by Ellen Datlow, chronicles these shifting shadows.

It was okay.

I don't fault the writing. But maybe Narrators could be vetted more? For sperformance sake, I mean. Also, with stories, like the very last, perhaps hiring female narrators would be best. I don't see anything wrong with coed narration for parts where a woman is speaking. Men can be a little harder to listen to for female characters though.

Historia
The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

Good stories, to-do to the readings.

I felt that there could be more diversity to the readers. I don't think they all worked well with the stories. one guy made everything sound like a a hard boiled detective story. The woman, Teresa, sounds older and all of her characters came across that way too. I found this particularly difficult with the Shoggoth Lord story.
