I just had a chance to listen to Audio Realms recording of At The Mountains of Madness, read in unabridged form by Wayne June.   It’s on four CDs and racking in at 4h45m it’s perfect for a long plane trip.   There are no special tricks, no musical accompaniment or special effects, just Wayne June’s magnificent voice reading the tale as our narrator, Professor William Dyer, as he unfolds his tale of adventure and ultimate horror in the Antarctic wastes.   The story is riveting and June’s reading is most effective as the near mad narrator, desperate to tell his tale.   At USD $27.95, it’s about on par with typical audiobook prices, though it can be downloaded for half that from Audio Realms online distribution site, TheAudioBookshop.Com (USD $13.98).   Whether as a CD or download, it’s well worth the price.
