this is great

it's so pulpy and funny. I dunno what I expected but I'm impressed. Loved it.

A lovely adaptation for a Lovecraft fan

This tail is truly one of my favorite works by the HPLHS it is a tail that strikes a perfect balance between original and adaptation. Highly recommended!!!

A wildly off-kilter version of A Christmas Carol

A fun take on the Dickens classic, as witnessed by H. P. Lovecraft. Yes, it's as strange as you think it is from that description. I can only say that this was a fun listen and that I recommend it to anyone who likes Lovecraft or has a sense of humor.

A Christmas Tradition For Me

A very creative way of using 3 Lovecraft short stories and making a DART episode. I got this about 3 years ago, and it's now become a tradition to listen to it every Christmas.

Merry Christmas with Lovecraft

This mashup of Dickens’s Christmas Carol and three Lovecraft works is clever and provides an entertaining tribute to the man and an interpretation of his work.

great for the holidays

another great radio play from the HPLHS, it's Lovecraft meets Dickens and is most wonderful!

Fantastic Cast, Excellent Production

This was an excellent adaptation of A Christmas Carol, HP Lovecraft style. The author is in a foul mood for the Solstice , shutting himself away from the world. Fate has other plans and the specters give him a trip through past, present and future. Fantastic cast and production.

A Thrilling Nightmare Before Christmas!

Take your imagination on one hades of a sleigh ride. Speck the hells with bowels of Crowley, fhtagn-l'a-l'a-l'a-l'a!

So Creative!!!

This retelling of "A Christmas Carol" was very original and so creative and well written. It was a great way to tell three of Lovecraft's short stories as part of telling a larger story rather than just retelling the stories on their own. This gave each a greater appeal especially "The Outsider" which had never been one of my favorites. While not the best episode of DART, this is still a good episode and the originality of it is so impressive!

This one made me grin

You can feel so much nerdy love for Lovecraft baked into this holiday masterpiece. Goofy and cool at the same time.
Tiny Tim is now my favorite DART character ever btw.
