Oui, d'ailleurs j'ai rejoins le groupe

La voix du narrateur est effectivement convaincante, et la musique au début va très bien avec. Mais en ce qui me concerne, il me faudrait tenir les supports écrits en main, car l'Anglais n'est hélas pas mon fort - je peux le lire ou à peu près le deviner, mais sans support, j'étais un peu perdu par ce qu'il disait...

Avis aux anglophones : le même lecteur a aussi enregistré "At the Mountains of Madness" il n'y a pas longtemps : http://www.naxosaudiobooks.com/0090.htm

À signaler : la réédition par Joshi chez Hippocampus Press de "The Ancient Track", l'intégrale des poèmes de Lovecraft.
Édition revue, corrigée et légèrement augmentée par quelques poèmes ou fragments découverts récemment. Les notes de Joshi en fin de volumes sont très intéressantes et éclairent bien la genèse de chaque oeuvre.
25€ sur Amazon.fr (quand la première édition épuisée se vendait d'occaz à près de 600€ !)

The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft sort le 13 octobre. Il est écrit par le spécialiste des annotations Leslie S. Klinger déjà responsable des New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, New Annotated Dracula et The Annotated Sandman. L'ouvrage comprendra 21 nouvelles de Lovecraft et une intro signée Alan Moore.

From across strange aeons comes the long-awaited annotated edition of “the twentieth century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale” (Stephen King).

“With an increasing distance from the twentieth century . . . the New England poet, author, essayist, and stunningly profuse epistolary Howard Phillips Lovecraft is beginning to emerge as one of that tumultuous period’s most critically fascinating and yet enigmatic figures,” writes Alan Moore. But at the time of his death, Lovecraft was maligned by critics and ignored by the public. Now, Leslie S. Klinger reanimates Lovecraft as never before, charting the rise of the pulp writer, whose rediscovery is almost unprecedented in American literary history. Following a trajectory not unlike Melville or Poe, Lovecraft’s vast body of work—a mythos in which humanity is a blissfully unaware speck in a cosmos shared by ancient alien beings—is increasingly being recognized as the foundation for American horror and science fiction.

With nearly 300 illustrations and more than 1,000 annotations, Klinger illuminates every hidden dimension of 22 of Lovecraft’s most canonical works.

This will be another lavish annotated edition, with a brilliant introduction by Alan Moore (who has his own Lovecraft project coming soon, a graphic novel called Providence, featuring H. P. Lovecraft as the protagonist). The first hard choice was selecting the stories. I may have wished to be complete, but with 85 stories by Lovecraft, I had to be selective. The ones I chose focus on what I’ll call the “Arkham cycle,” including The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and At the Mountains of Madness. Unlike the previous annotated editions of some of Lovecraft’s stories, edited by the estimable S. T. Joshi, I’ve attempted to show the range of Lovecraftian scholarship and focus on explanatory material rather than biographical details. With his assistance, I’ve used Joshi’s carefully edited texts, rather than other slipshod sources. The 21 stories span Lovecraft’s career, and I’ve added a long detailed foreword placing 21 Lovecraft’s work in context, as well as close to 90,000 words of editorial content and almost 1,100 footnotes. The edition will also contain over 250 images, many of them photographs of the places mentioned in the stories, as well as all of the original Weird Tales illustrations. Yup, probably another 5-pound book!

I’m hopeful that for those of you unfamiliar with Lovecraft’s work, you’ll come away with a sense of why he belongs in the pantheon of the founders of the science-fiction and horror genre, among the most influential writers of the 20th century. For those who are already Lovecraft devotees, I’m very grateful for the support of the long-time Lovecraft scholars in assembling this book, and I hope that you will find new insights of which you never dreamed!
