About this listen

The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft: a brand new anthology that collects the 12 principal deities of the Lovecraftian Mythos and sets them loose. Featuring the biggest names in horror and dark fantasy, including many New York Times best sellers; full of original fiction; and individual commentary on each of the deities by Donald Tyson.

Lovecraft's bestiary of gods has had a major influence on the horror scene from the time these sacred names were first evoked. Cthulhu, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth - this pantheon of the horrific calls to mind the very worst of cosmic nightmares and the very darkest signs of human nature. The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft brings together 12 all-new Mythos tales from: Cthulhu (Adam Nevill) , Yog-Sothoth (Martha Wells), Azathoth (Laird Barron) , Nyarlathotep (Bentley Little), Shub-Niggurath (David Liss), Tsathoggua (Brett Talley), The Mi-Go (Christopher Golden and James A. Moore); Night-gaunts (Jonathan Maberry); Elder Things (Joe Lansdale); Great Race (Rachel Caine); Yig (Douglas Wynne); and The Deep Ones (Seanan McGuire).

Some of the stories were excellent. The delivery was a bit jarring/patronising for some of the female voices. The mispronunciation of UK place-names that were key to the first story also spoilt it a little.

Some excellent stories

The stories themselves are fine but the narrator sounds like a computer generated voice - uttery monotonous and oddly stilted. To be honest, I think the written version would have been a better choice.

Great stories, poor narration

Easily the finest of the many Cthulhu Mythos anthologies I've been exposed to. Not a dud to be found. Each story is followed by a description of a different monster. The narration is energetic while never overpowering. Worth multiple listens.

Superb.

So many books that try to make bread from the mythology building of H.P. Lovecraft fail miserably. This collection of efforts were impressive. Original stories using the Lovecraftian mythology. Loved every second of every story.

A decent homage to H.P. Lovecraft
