While this may indeed be a decent compilation of horror stories or not, this
statement is simply empty and useless. To try and state that this would have been
HP's favorite IF he had listened to it on the radio tries to use the name of
Lovecraft to increase sales, nothing more. We have no idea what his "favorite"
would have been, and statements such as yours only come across as being without
knowledge and any basis in fact. You would have been better off to have left this
part off, and instead to simply have extolled the nature of the stories
themselves. 40 lashes with a wet noodle for you.

It's obvious what his favorite radio program would have been.

Although he would not see them, he must have known of those dead faces,
those unseeing eyes -- oh, the horror of...

Little Orphan Annie!
