Editor reviews
Master of pulp horror H.P. Lovecraft’s enduring legacy is celebrated with an anthology of short fiction inspired by his writings and ideas. Teresa DeBerry and Fleet Cooper share performances ranging from awed to eerie as they vocally create the cosmic horror, the indifference of the universe to individual suffering, and the machinations of The Great Old Ones that are the hallmarks of Lovecraftian tales. Editor Lockhart combines previously published works with some written originally for this volume. Authors in this volume whose imagination Lovecraft inspired include Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, Fritz Leiber, and Caitlin Kiernan.
Summary
Last year, Night Shade Books unleashed The Book of Cthulhu onto an unsuspecting world. Critically acclaimed as the ultimate Cthulhu anthology” and a must read’ for fans of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos,” The Book of Cthulhu went where no collection of mythos tales had gone before: to the very edge of madness and beyond.
For nearly a century, H. P. Lovecraft’s tales of malevolent Great Old Ones existing beyond the dimensions of this world, beyond the borders of sanity, have captured and held the imaginations of writers and aficionados of the dark, the macabre, the fantastic, and the horrible. Now, because you demanded more, anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has risked all to dive back into the Cthulhu canon, combing through mind-shattering manuscripts and moldering tomes to bring you The Book of Cthulhu 2, with even more tales of tentacles, terror, and madness.
Featuring monstrous stories by many of weird fiction’s brightest lights, The Book of Cthulhu 2 brings you even more tales inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s greatest creation: The Cthulhu mythos. This year, the stars are rightI! I! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Warning - dodgy attempts at British accent.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Get British actors to do the British voices.
What three words best describe Teresa DeBerry and Fleet Cooper ’s voice?
Neither of them should ever be allowed to attempt a British accent again - . Over emphasised consonants and long drawn out vowels - quite often the wrong ones, all over the place
Any additional comments?
I did enjoy the book, but it does ruin the mood when you keep laughing at the weird pronunciation on the stories that were done in a cod-British accent

An Enjoyably Rich Collection
Where does The Book of Cthulhu II rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very highly indeed. I really enjoy books that take a variety of perspectives on a certain subject, or in this case mythos, and does strange and interesting things with it.
What other book might you compare The Book of Cthulhu II to, and why?
Possibly World War Z for the variety of perspectives on a central subject. The idea of humanity reacting, or indeed ignoring, a terrible event is prevalent in both books as well as seeing people's very human reactions to events.
What about Teresa DeBerry and Fleet Cooper ’s performance did you like?
Both did a fantastic job in adapting their performances to the very different stories. Quite often it is easy to forget there are only two performers.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Very much so. With each story taking a different perspective and being so well written you can't help but empathise with the characters. For some stories the author and you are laughing at what the poor characters are going through, others the world created makes you feel extremely uncomfortable... extremely.
Any additional comments?
With a wide range of authors contributing to this collection there are some fantastic stories to amuse, bemuse and confuse. Each story takes the tried and tested mythos and does some very interesting things with it. I highly recommend this book just for the fantastic variety of stories and how well they are performed.

R E Lockhart edits another amazing anthology
As with the book of cthulhu 1, this second anthology of lovecraftian tales edited by Ross e Lockhart gets my five stars. I only wish his third volume Cthulhu fhtagn was available as an audiobook. having read the print versions of all three I can honestly say that listening to the audio version really added to my enjoyment of each story. The selection of stories is good and the readers are wonderful . I'd go as far as saying the interpretation by the narrators is perfect they show a real understanding of the tales and I have listened to each many times. These collections are a worthy addition to the canon .
more please.
Please can we have more audiobook versions of other cthulhu mythos anthologys as there are very few. use this as a model on how to do it right.
as I've said my only complaint is that I need more of the same. ☺
perfect

Great stuff.
i listen to a lot of Lovecraft based stories...in fact i have ran out of them to listen too on audible:-(
I have listened too this set of tales four times now. its the best set of stories i have listened too by far. The narrators, especially the male narrator are great. Some of the stories stay with you and demand another listen.

Astounding read of suspense and horror
A nice collection and tribute to Mr. Lovecraft. Its been a while since I enjoyed so many different stories with varying morbid details along with suspense and horror. The narration and the pace of the book was brilliant and engaging
