Audiobook – The Lurking Fear by H. P. Lovecraft

A violent thunderstorm sweeps across Tempest Mountain. When it passes, an isolated settlement has been wiped from the earth.

The locals mutter about the deserted Martense mansion, a crumbling old house brooding over the Catskills. For more than a century it has attracted stories of disappearances, unnatural deaths and something enormous creeping through the summer darkness. Such tales are easy to dismiss—until the bodies begin appearing.

The Lurking Fear follows an unnamed investigator and self-professed connoisseur of horrors as he attempts to uncover what happened on the mountain. His search takes him through storm-lashed ruins, neglected graveyards and tunnels beneath the earth, where the truth has been hidden rather more successfully than buried.

Written in 1922, this is Lovecraft in a particularly lurid mood: thunderstorms, ancestral corruption, subterranean horrors and investigators whose response to mortal danger is to push their faces closer and have another look.

Felbrigg Herriot delivers an unabridged reading of this classic tale, allowing Lovecraft’s accumulating dread and grotesque revelations to unfold at their proper, deliberate pace.
