 Like the first omnibus of the collection of HP Lovecraft, I enjoyed this second omnibus quite a lot. I appreciate the production's effort in organizing the works by year, which gives the listener a chapter-style look into Lovecraft's career and works, plus offering little snippets of his life at the time of each. My favourites, At The Mountains Of Madness and Shadow Over Innsmouth, are both in this collection which I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend for any fans of Lovecraft and/or the Cthulhu Mythos.

While Lovecraft's life was difficult, he wrote some of his best stories during his final years. Mountains of Madness is still a favorite of mine, but there are plenty of other great stories in this collection, too.

I really liked the commentary that accompanied each story - the background information was very enlightening for certain stories. I also enjoyed reading some of my favorites again, and some of the great stories that I had missed before.

A truly legendary collection of short stories that peaks at "At the Mountains of Madness" and (almost) ends with one of my favourite lovecraft stories, Haunter in the Dark.

Truly a visionary of his time, his voice still echoes almost a century after his death and we keep feeding off of his own work.

The stories were are good as I remembered from my youth and the narrator brings a note of whimsy to them that I also enjoyed.
