“Paul Giamatti's reading of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space is nothing short of a revelation. With masterful precision, he captures the eerie, unsettling beauty of Lovecraft's New England landscapes. His voice, layered and expressive, seems to carry every haunted note of Lovecraft’s Victorian-inspired prose, transforming the poetic, vivid language into a haunting melody that lingers in the listener's mind. Giamatti doesn’t just narrate—he conjures an atmosphere, pulling us into a surreal world where horror and beauty meet, guided by Lovecraft's rich, textured storytelling.
Listening to Giamatti's reading is like attending an exceptionally engaging humanities seminar, one that unfolds the complexities of cosmic horror and Victorian narrative style with each chilling, meticulously rendered passage. His interpretation is so captivating that it feels like a calling for an entire audiobook series, where he could delve even deeper into Lovecraftian horror and beyond, drawing listeners into a web of dark atmospheres and supernatural allure with his singular voice.
The experience of Chinwag, Giamatti's podcast, is no different—every episode feels like stepping into a warmly lit classroom, evoking the rich, nostalgic ambiance of classic intellectual gatherings. Each discussion is as nourishing as a grand winter meal: a table spread with glazed ham, mashed potatoes, string beans, and rolls, filling both the mind and the spirit. Every episode is a banquet of thought, served with warmth and insight, inviting listeners to return again and again to savor the rich blend of humor, analysis, and timeless storytelling that Giamatti brings to every word he speaks. -sandboxworld.com”Read full review »
