The Temple

By: H. P. Lovecraft

Narrated by: John W. Michaels

The influence of the First World War was strong on H. P. Lovecraft, for in his youth he was an ardent Anglophile and remained almost fanatically so long after the end of that conflict. Thus the portrayal of the "Prussian beast" created by propagandists was accepted by him at face value and utilized in this story of a U-boat that ran afoul of an unearthly foe. Notwithstanding the fact of Nazi horror during the Second World War, we must perforce admit the artificial nature of Lovecraft's protagonist's boasting - yet even so the author's mastery of suspenseful terror carries "The Temple" along to a real climax of ocean-bottom shock.

Pretty Rough Read

I was really struggling to finish this book. The voice acting is not very good.
