Well, that was educational. I have in the past listened to a scattering of Lovecraft audio stories, and now I must wonder if the narrators were accurate.
Confession -- I've never read any Lovecraft, he wasn't available in the small-town libraries or drug-store bookracks when I was growing up, and anyway, horror wasn't my bag as a pre-teen. Then it was too late -- Shirley Jackson, Richard Matheson, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King caught me in their snare.
