- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very entertaining! Have wanted to read or listen to this story for some time so that I could learn the origin of Cthulhu, and I was not disappointed. It is not a traditional story, but I personally think that makes it more interesting.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A classic for good reason. The narrator was really really good but he did say Chutuhlu in a weird, kind of garbled way. The story of course is a classic, never disappoints. If you've never read it I'd start with this edition. The narrator really makes the story come alive.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pretty damn good. I certainly like the reader. 5 stars.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was my first H.P. Lovecraft book.
I found the story really interesting, not really scary, to be honest.
It did not age well socially as he is a racist misogynistic bigot, but as the story goes, I am glad I finally know what all the fuss is about. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5i hope this man is burning in hell with all of his racism.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best audiobooks out there. Subject matter aside, the narrator reads with passion and gravitas. Plus the addition to the music. Amazing. Felt like being at a play in a theatre

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So entertaining and interesting. The narrator did a wonderful job.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great classic horror story, that is excellently read. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Racist piece of shit. Don't read. It's filled with racial slurs. I could listen past 2 chapters.
