THE CALL OF CTHULHU AND OTHER STORIES

by | Read by William Roberts

Classics • 4.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1926

Reading Lovecraft is challenge enough, but listening to his work can be fraught with peril—unless William Roberts is at the mike. Readers and listeners either love or hate Lovecraft, most commonly because of his complex language and near overwhelming sentence structure. Roberts takes on this challenge and delivers these short stories beautifully. He seems to have wrangled the leviathan that is Lovecraft’s style and bullied it into submission. His delivery is engaging and dramatic. It shows that he has spent time with the text and understands the author’s sometimes dizzying style. Best of all, he is able to communicate that understanding to the listener. Roberts’s narration provides a perfect introduction for newcomers who are interested in Lovecraft’s work but who are intimidated by his reputation.
