In great cities of the world, humanity congregates, and commerce, culture, and cosmopolitan sophistication blossom in their gardens. But in the shadows that lie beyond the broad boulevards and glare of electric lights, great cities give birth to something else. In these shadows thrives a dim underworld, peopled by nefarious characters brought together from every godforsaken corner of the globe. Can a lone policeman make a stand for decency against the godless denizens of New York’s most loathsome slum, or will he find himself consumed by the filth and depravity of nameless cults?

A Trilogy of Medicinal Terrorized
This was a great trilogy of horrible healing. Two stories adapted from H.P. Lovecraft and one from Lovecraft’s favorite, Edgar Allan Poe. All were highly entertaining and masterfully performed by the Historical Society. Be sure to check out more Dark Adventure Radio Theater from these talented folks. I’m collecting them all!

Truly thrilling radio dramatizations
Lovecraft, if still alive, would be really proud of these radio dramatizations of his works by the HPLS.
Simply, too notch productions and actors.
Faithful, yet enjoyable radio adaptations of Lovecraft's works!!
These adaptations are a joy to listen and re-listen, during those times, when you have a craving for Lovecraft's works.
I am really happy, Audible, carries them.
Thanks!!

Superbly creepy stuff!
I’m a big fan of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society productions, and I’m thrilled to see them available on Audible. This one’s a bit of a departure, adapting three stories (two from Lovecraft, one from Poe), but it’s a great introduction to the HPLHS. Give it a try, then pick up the rest. You won’t be sorry!

Despite short they all fit well together in this magnificent anthology. Being short also helps the non-native-speaking listener to follow along more easily.
The shared theme is death and mesmerization.
