Of course HP Lovecrafts stories stand on their own regarding quality: some are excellent, others not as much. The narrators laboured hard to make this collection an enjoyable listen. And they largely succeeded. This collection is by no means ALL of HPL's fiction writings. And the last item in this recording is erroneously titled. However, it is enjoyable. (No spoilers here😉)

Ah, the plight of the beleaguered narrator! What polysyllabic eruditions must he employ in HP Lovecrafts cyclopean and cosmically horrific portrayals of the grotesque!

I am a fan of the HPLHS and enjoy their Dark Adventure Radio Theatre.

Inspite of no PDF, Im still giving this audible version a 5 star. Well-done on the writing and narration.

Of course King's story is excellent....good characters, good plot,.etc. Eli Wallach does a great job narrating, but sadly the intrusive, screeching music that makes the listener miss parts of the narrative made this listen an overall 3-star review. If it werent for the music, this would be a 5-star listen. I tried to listen, but the music was so irritating that I had to return the book unfinished. I plan to get the Kindle version instead.

I liked this production, obviously.
But I give a One star to Audible trying to force people to write an essay on how much and why they liked the book when the reader has already indicated this in the star rating.

I am a big fan of Stephen King's writing. He's a master novelist and he narrated this audible version excellently. However, "Desperation" fell short of his usual high standards.

While the setting of a resident evil was excellent, and the characters' heroism, including their increasing conversion to the Christian religion was well done, King's additional preachiness on TOP of the character development was superfluous to the story. It detracted from an otherwise excellent story.

That said, I would still recommend people to read it or listen to it.

Stephen King yet again delivers. And Mr Miller's narration is excellent. However, it would have been helpful in the written chapters shown to the listener on his Audible device to have the novellas named. The chapters are only numbered regardless of any change in the actual change of novella. There is no division delineating the name of the novellas as they are changed. This is not helpful to the listener.

That said, the stories are well worth your credit🖖

Well, I'm a late bloomer to the joys of listening/reading Mrs. Christie. This is my first novel of hers and I look forward to reading/listening to more! The plot and character portrayals were excellent as was the narrator.

Good plot and character development. The only difficulty was the flashbacks I had from all the dated computer lingo and elderly forensics😉 Aside from that, the story and narrator were excellent. It was an enjoyable read/listen.

An engaging story of a First Nations woman caught between white society and her Native heritage. Both heart warming and heart rending, the author weaves a murder mystery that is well worth the reader's time. The character development is well done as is the narration.

1). Note to Author: Do your research. Witches are not the same as Satanists and vice versa. Neither the Church of Satan nor most Wiccans are into sacrifices or malevolent magic. If Ms. Barton had actually visited with Wiccans and also Church of Satan members, surely she would have written a better description of what they respectively believe and practise. Now, to give her credit, she did delineate between positive magic and malevolent magic.

2). Audible needs to warn readers in the synopsis that this mystery book is sexually graphic so that readers who are sensitive to such things don't stumble upon something they regret paying for. As I am a horror fiction fan, I've read worse both sexual and violent. And quite frankly I enjoyed the one sex scene between the two main protagonists. It was tender and loving. But yeah, I get it that such graphics are not everyone's cup of tea.

These points made, overall the story was well done, good character development, and I thought the narrator was fine.
