Forty-eight of H.P. Lovecraft’s most important stories are brought together in this collection–available only from Audible–selected and with introductions by the award-winning, best-selling Lovecraft editor Leslie S. Klinger. Howard Philips Lovecraft was the early 20th-century genius who, almost singlehandedly, pioneered horror and scientific fiction, only to die in near-obscurity. Rediscovered by critics and scholars in the 1970s, Lovecraft’s work has influenced—by their own admission—every major horror or science-fiction writer of today.

More kvetching about racism
Revisado: 10-28-24
is it possible to enjoy Lovecraft without hamfisted commentary telling us what we should think about hos racism, or proclamations on how we all must accept our "collective guilt?" (actual words)
Also, the narration is often highly stilted, and the narrator for Dagon weirdly sounds like a southern antebellum gentleman. Skip this, check out the HPLHS collection instead.

Origin is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes. Origin provides an overview of these new histories throughout North and South America, and a glimpse into how the tools of genetics reveal details about human history and evolution.

25% good info about the peopling of the Americas

50% "white man bad" browbeating and "indigenous people good" sycophantic reddit tier moralizing.

In Kindred, Neanderthal expert Becky Wragg Sykes shoves aside the cliché of the shivering ragged figure in an icy wasteland and reveals the Neanderthal you don’t know, who lived across vast and diverse tracts of Eurasia and survived through hundreds of thousands of years of massive climate change. Using a thematic rather than chronological approach, this book will shed new light on where they lived, what they ate and the increasingly complex Neanderthal culture that is being discovered.

could be shorter
Revisado: 05-02-24
Lots of good info, but also a lot of speculation/romanticism, reaching, and sanctimony.
Could easily be 50% shorter but the author loves wax poetic.
Narrator is excellent.

"Ants are the most warlike of all animals, with colony pitted against colony.... Their clashes dwarf Waterloo and Gettysburg", writes Edward O. Wilson in his most finely observed work in decades. In a myrmecological tour to such far-flung destinations as Mozambique and New Guinea, the Gulf of Mexico's Dauphin Island and even his parents' overgrown yard back in Alabama, Wilson thrillingly evokes his nine-decade-long scientific obsession with more than 15,000 ant species.

EO Wilspnis a great writer and naturalist and this is worth a read. Unfortunately, the narrator sounds like he has cotton balls in his mouth and might fall asleep any second

On September 21, 1897, the New York Sun published what was to become the most widely read letter to a newspaper. It was sent by 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, who lived with her parents in Manhattan. She asked, "Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" Sun editorial writer Francis Pharcellus Church gave her an amazingly beautiful "Yes."

great potential ruined by principle narration
Revisado: 12-11-20
the narrator tries too hard to sound sensual, and comes off as creepy. the production is obviously well done, but the way the narrator is frankly bizarre.

Good (but dated) history with awful narration
Revisado: 05-15-20
The history is obviously dated due to how old it is, but a worthy read.
narration is terrible. comparable to what you might get for free off librivox. Heavily monotonous and frequently mispronounces proper nouns (semitic =/= semantic). she is clearly not familiar with the material.
