Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I've come to appreciate a narrator who can transport me into a story's world. Ian Gordon does just that, his voice a perfect match for Lovecraft's intricate prose. His pacing is spot-on, building tension and releasing it in all the right places. However, I found some of the older stories' language a bit challenging at times, with their Victorian-era phrasing. But that's a small price to pay for the chilling payoffs. Production-wise, it's clean and minimalistic, allowing the stories to take center stage. My only critique? The lack of any sort of introduction or transition between stories. A brief explanation of each tale's significance or a bit of context would have been welcome. But overall, 'Weird Tales' is a must-listen for fans of the strange and the supernatural.
