Publisher's summary

A random murder in a public park. An artist wracked by fantastical and haunting dreams. A police inspector confronting the depraved rites of a voodoo cult. Intrepid sailors pitted against a diabolical monstrosity risen from the bottom of the sea. And one man, doomed to understand that such things foretell madness and the end of mankind.

Audible needs more dramatizations

This has inadvertently set my standard for dramatizations... Which this app desperately needs more of.

Dramatized Favorite Tale of Horror

Another wonderful adaptation of an HP Lovecraft story, expertly brought to life by the multitalented members of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. The cast and production are superb. These dramas are highly addictive and I will be collecting them all!

A Fantastic Story for the Imagination

I love this book! The narration is theatrical and professional (the first audiobook I heard in such a format, FYI). Aside from its incredible presentation, the story itself is a timeless classic! Horror/ mystery/ thriller.... it’s short enough to keep interest and doesn’t drag at any point. It keeps you on edge - captivated.

I highly recommend this!

Listen to one of the most notable books of HP Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. I will be reading the others, for sure!

Very well done!

Very well done, I enjoyed the feel of this being an old 1930s radio show.

Fantastic Performance!

Loved every minute of it! This adaptation of Lovecraft’s The Call Of Cthulhu is so fun and really pulls the listener in. The voice acting is phenomenal. I only wish it could be longer.
