"These classic tales, elegantly eerie, hypnotic and unsettling, are perfectly rendered here, in a manner that would have thrilled Lovecraft."
S.T. Joshi, January 2006. Specialist in Literary Horror, and author of H. P. Lovecraft - A Life (1996) and A Subtler Magick: The Writings and Philosophy of H. P. Lovecraft (1995).
"Superlative reading of some of Lovecraft's most intriguing shorter tales. Mr Cade's recitals bring out new beauties and new terrors."
Amy Sturgis, Belmont University, Tennessee, June 2006. Lecturer & writer in science fiction/fantasy, media, & Native American studies; 'Scholarly Guest of Honor' for the international 'Gathering of the Fellowship Celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien', 2003.
"David Cade's masterful, evocative reading makes this a 'must own' work for those who appreciate Lovecraft's storytelling."
David Faucheaux MLIS, Reviewer for `Necropsy` - the online journal of literary horror, Louisiana State University, May 2006
"Cade’s voice and the music become a pas-de-deux of sound, a forceful duet hurling the listener through Lovecraft’s narratives."
Peter Sharp, Hackham, South Australia. June 2006.
"David Cade reads with a singular intensity and eloquence, as if dynamically skipping another dimension. Is he channelling H.P. Lovecraft?"

From the Inside Flap
"Howard Phillips Lovecraft is now acknowledged as the master of the literary tale of terror. His many fantastic and macabre stories have won a fiercely devout following across the globe and are today available in the collections of a number of different international publishing houses. Originally, however, they appeared only in simple American horror magazines. Lovecraft's excellence is in his subtle and suggestive generation of situations of alarming atmosphere which erupt into encounters with phenomena not only terrifying but possessing a remarkable degree of verisimilitude. Usually delivering his stories by way of interlocutors of powerful intellect, such as scientists or scholars, Lovecraft succeeded in elevating the frightening world of the macabre to a level of poetic beauty and profundity which few other writers in his particular fictional genre have been able to equal."
