Reviews
Cosmic Horror At Its Finest
Dan
If you like H.P. Lovecraft or his ilk, you'll love Blackwood. His descriptions are magnificent; they really put you in the setting if you can wrap your head around what he's trying to say. Good narration, very easy to get caught up inside of it. Don't hate on it, the slow parts really flesh out the suspense.
A LibriVox Listener
Trippy is as trippy does. Apparently you weren't just freaking out that one time. Don't ignore your animals when they alert to intrusion for no apparent reason. Call the ghost hunters immediately. Tense and atmospheric as always from Blackwood. A definite precursor to the likes of King and Straub.
Paladin
Wow! The author never disappoints. Suspence and unpredictable plot.
Ethan Proctor
I never heard something quite like it. but if you know the show Mushishi, (蟲師) it reminds me so much of that, I always imagined John Silence as Ginko.
Didn't grip me
Timothy Ferguson
I listened to the first story then passed on the others. Just not for me, perhaps?
