Bed and Breakfast at the Gilman House. - By: G. Thomas, 10 Jun 2008
I absolutely love "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" I think it's one of the two best stories that Mr Lovecraft wrote (what's the other one?.....well it's on volume 6 ^^)
I had to order volumes 3,4,5 & 6 direct from Audiorealms because this very site you're on couldn't source them even though they were listed as available......

..but moving on.....

Wayne June, who reads all six available volumes, has once again done a magnificent jobin bringing this audiobook to creeping, slithering life.
Lovecraft's prose can sometimes be intimidatingly dense & complex but Wayne June paces the readings perfectly, allowing for all the charged emotional gravitas that these stories require.
"Shadow Over Innsmouth" is a tale of earth-shattering psychological horror setin a shunned & decaying coastal fishing town. This story could easily be destroyed by an over-the-top or uncommitted reading but Mr June convincingly conveys the narrator's growing unease & eventual blind panic as he slowly uncovers the grim secret of Innsmouth & pieces together the horrid truth of Obed Marsh's legacy.

"Dagon" is a very short tale but is an extremely relevant & atmospheric companion piece to the main presentation.

These readings from Audiorealms have proved to be exceptional & seriously deserve shelf-spacein the home of anyone who appreciates high quality tales of fear, apprehension & (mostly) unseen terrors.
