About this listen

 The Balance of Wonder and Terror
Learn the truth of the secret war in space with both the Soviets and dark technomancers bent on world domination in Gods in Darkness. Thrill to incredible truths buried in the sands of ages or in our own Area 51 in The Dig. Ride along with some crazed truckers dealing with Lovecraftian horrors in At the Highways of Madness. Know the stark terror of reading a forbidden book of the damned when the stars are not right. Love knows no bounds through time and space--especially for one of Lovecraft's Elder Things in The Queen in Shadow. And finally, go beyond the past and future in The Sleepers of Tartarus. All these and more lurk at the edge of reason waiting to pounce.

I found this title fairly difficult to listen to for two very different reasons. Firstly, the AI narration really missed the mark on inflections and annunciation of the text. It was jarring at times pulling you right out of the story. Parts were just fine but others were very robotic and it reminds the listeners the narrator is a glorified Speak-&-Spell. The other challenge was some very ham-fisted attempt of sneaking in song lyrics ir pop culture references every few minutes. I found myself rolling my eyes after a time instead of enjoying them like Easter Eggs.

Such a great collection of stories to waste reading via virtual narration. Zero emotion was present. Words and phrases mispronounced constantly. The stories though, very well written.

Terrible narration.

Great stories. I really enjoyed three of them, and liked the others. The generated voice was emotionless, and that really took you out of it at times though. They should do this over with a voice actor.

Great Writing, Weak Performance

I liked nothing about it. Neither the characters, the plot line, even the sentence structure sucked.

Terrible, sounds like I wrote it.

Badly written to start with, the computer voice does it no favors.
For perspective, I waited two hours, just so I'd be past the 20% mark. Because I needed to warn other fans of Weird Fiction, to avoid this pile of drivel.

Wow, that was bad.
