About this audiobook
Volume 12 begins with Doug Bradley's well researched insight into the stories and their authors. This is followed by what H.P. Lovecraft considered to be one of his best stories, 'The Music of Eric Zann.' ‘The Tool’ by WF Harvey is a horrifying tale narrated by an inmate of a mental institution. Next Edgar Allan Poe revisits his terrifying fear of being buried alive in 'The Premature Burial'. Then an eavesdropper overhears five creepy and scary ghost stories in Charles Dickens 'To Be Read at Dusk'. Ambrose Bierce’s haunting ‘The Moonlit Road’ relates a murder tale from three perspectives, including the murdered wife's. Jeffery Combs reads Part 5 of ‘Herbert West Reanimator’ and this volume is completed with Edgar Allan Poe's 'Dreamland'. The poem describes the strange sights the speaker sees along his journey in a different and disturbing world.
Author
Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Renowned as one of the great horror-writers of all time, H.P. Lovecraft was born in 1890 and lived most of his life in Providence, Rhode Island. Among his many classic horror stories, many of which were published in book form only after his death in 1937, are ‘At the Mountains of Madness and Other Novels of Terror’ (1964), ‘Dagon and Other Macabre Tales’ (1965), and ‘The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions’ (1970).
