Sale on HorrorBabble Audiobooks

In the past, I've linked to some HorrorBabble audiobooks on YouTube. The narrator reads horror and ghost stories on which the copyright has expired, so his selections are mainly tales that would have been published in Weird Tales or similar pulp magazines, including a tremendous amount of H.P. Lovecraft's works. 

    This week, there is a sale on HorrorBabble audiobooks at Groupees. Essentially, Groupees allows you to spend various amounts (in this case, ranging from $2 to $6) to unlock books which you can download. In this case, for $2, you get 7 audiobooks: A Christmas Carol; a collection of Edger Allen Poe poems; a collection of horror stories related to the sea; a collection of vampire stories; a collection of "pulp classics"; a collection of 7 Lovecraft short stories; and The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson. For $4, you get all of the above, plus an additional 5 audio books. And, for $6, you get an additional 5 books, including the complete collection of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos stories ("The Call of Cthulhu", "At The Mountains of Madness", etc., etc.). Some of the proceeds go to a charity, so you can also donate additional amounts; and it appears that if you donate $25 or more, you will get bonuses of additional books of your choice.

     In any event, you get a lot for the money. While I've been able to listen to some of these stories via YouTube during commutes, the MP3 versions obviously don't rely on having an internet connection and should be good for future trips where I have to fly or travel through areas without cellular coverage.
