The horror, the horror November 5, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've only ever heard a handful of spoken word adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft's work (until quite recently), and they have varied greatly in quality. However, David Cade's interpretations of these three Lovecraft short stories are just outstanding. He manages to capture the author's odd rhythms and idiosyncratic tone perfectly, never has the phrase 'he makes them his own' been more true. These three stories showcase just how good the format can be: easily as good as David McCallum's `The Haunter of the Dark' or `The Rats in the Walls' or John Arthur's version of `The Fungi from Yuggoth'. I can highly recommend this recording, and I hope others will be available soon.
Superb! October 6, 2006

Ever since discovering Lovecraft I felt that his stories would be best suited to being read to me rather than by me. Dave Cade's theatrical performance on these recordings suits the material perfectly, bringing to life the sinister worlds of Lovecraft. He clearly enjoys it as much as we do.
Lovecraft at Last ! October 5, 2006

What a wonderful treat the listener has in store for this great CD of stories from the works of H.P.Lovecraft.
I starting playing this one myself planning to continue working at my desk but by the end of the first track I had stopped and devoted my full attention to this masterful reading.
I have been a collector and reader of HPL's work for many years and have heard a number of other recordings of his work, but David Cade's extraordinary sensitivity to his source material sets this apart from all others I have heard. THIS IS LOVECRAFT AS HE SHOULD BE PRESENTED !!. The music of Roberto Barzini complements the performances perfectly without overpowering Mr. Cade's performance.
I for one look forward to more of Mr. Cade's work, be it more of H.P.Lovecraft or otherwise, Buy this one, it's a keeper.
Great Reading!!!!! October 5, 2006

What a great find. It certainly comes off as a labor of love. Mr. Cade does a wonderful job, adding just the right amount of liveliness and emotion, with a true sense of dramatic silence. He also has a true ear for the rhythm in Lovecraft's writing style!
The Unnameable October 4, 2006

The clear recording matched with David Cade's clear, well-
spoken voice and unlaboured reading, free from the distractions
of ill-chosen and intrusive background music and sound-effects,
means that not a word of these tales is missed or obscured.
David Cade's voice is well suited to portraying Lovecraft's work
and his rendering of the tales brings out aspects of the stories
that may not be immediately obvious when reading them in print.
The last reading in particular is a true gem, being a masterful
telling, suffusing the tale with vibrant, shocking life.
