The reason I can't recommend it is because despite how easy it would have been to switch out all the N-words for other terms, Leman and Branney (two white men) decided to leave in every single one of them.
We all know that Lovecraft was a eugenics supporting racist. He was a trash person. No debate. Despite that, people (myself included) love his stories but that doesn't mean we have to continue to stay true to his use of harmful racial slurs. They literally have no effect on the story AT ALL.
It's seriously disappointing.
It also means this audiobook is useless unless you either a) wear headphones or b) don't mind offending and/or harming the people around you.
There's no excuse for this.
They should have done better.
