Story4.5 out of 5 stars 122
The ocean's imponderable depths contain mysteries far beyond the grasp of mortal men. From the adventurous mariners of ancient times, to simple fishermen of our own New England of yesteryear, mankind has found the seven seas to be both the source of life, and a watery grave. When man seeks to delve too deeply into that abyss, what appalling secrets will rise to the surface? And what will mankind do when faced with the unnamed horrors of the deep?

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?

Dark Adventure's best, imo
I consider Dark Adventure Radio Theater's top 3 to be this, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and The Shadow over Innsmouth, with this one being at the top of the heap (I own all of their stuff). The thing I love about this one (and to a lesser extent, Dexter Ward), is it's sense of humor. The chatter of the townspeople is especially good, along with Wilbur Whately sticking out like a hilarious sore thumb in the town (and everywhere else he goes). If you're on the fence about purchasing any of the Dark Adventure stuff, I can pretty much guarantee you'll enjoy this one.
By the way, it used to be the only way to get these was directly through Lovecraft Society's website, and they were spendy. This stuff being on audible is just a steal. Actually, it really does sort of feel dirty. They deserve more for these quality productions.

Awesome Adaptation
This was a ton of fun with the acting and music quite reminiscent of the Creature Features of the 1950's. Professor Armitage sounds suitably academic; Wilbur Whatley appropriately booming and weird; the Dunwich yokels terrified amusedly out of their wits; and the Horror itself is awesomely squishy. I can't wait to investigate other Lovecraft "radio dramas" done by this group.

A Great Adaptation by the HPLHS
I think this would be a nice way of getting people into Lovecraft. Bit easier to understand for some than how Lovecraft writes.
Love the Radio Drama aspect!

Ape man and cosmic horror monster
I prefer a story with focus on one person instead of a big group. It makes it easer to follow along with. The Dunwich Horror is quite the opposite on singular focus. Despite not having my prefered setting I still liked the story.
It tells the story of the folks in Dunwich and their experience with a weird family and a lurking cosmic horror.

Hated this one
I immensely enjoyed the Herbert West Reanimator production, but this story didn’t grab me at all.... I tried to listen to it three times but kept falling asleep in it, as it didn’t engage me at all.
It was quite awful at the start where they are talking about the baby Wilbur and how ugly he and his mother are. I know it was meant to convey the idea that he was evil and inhuman, but it just came across like a bunch of gossipy a-holes saying horrible things about the village outcasts.
Also some of the voices were hard to understand. I had to listen at 0.75% speed.

Don't head to Dunwich by Night!
A chilling tale that reminds us that, regardless of the kind of terrors the power of evil in human hearts can bring forth, humanity is insignificant in the end.
Dunwich Horror is at the heart of the later Cthulhu Mythos. It's a brilliant tale, and brilliantly narrated by the HP Lovecraft Historical society. I can thoroughly recommend their work for anyone who wishes to enjoy a spine chilling tale.
