dramatization of one of lovecraft's greatest stories

This is one of HP lovecraft's greatest horror stories, IMO, and this is an excellent dramatization. Even so, there's nothing like the original Lovecraft writing so you might want to read or listen on audible to the original story prior to listing to this dramatization.

Great Stuff

This dramatization mostly follows the original story. It has a story telling frame not in the original. The HPLHS has produced another fine presentation. This is both entertaining and an interpretation of Lovecraft 's work.

It's like a movie in your head

Performance, acting, voice over, sfx all top notch quality production. It legit sucks you in and you just want more!

Another Dark Adventure Radio success

This is probably my favorite interpretation of this story. Cast and production are top notch.

Faithful to a fault

Really awesome adaptation. Keeps a lot of the original prose, sometimes to its detriment but given that it is the HPL Historical Society it is understandable if not even admirable.

A Fantastic Story as always.

In these spooky time of Halloween, or just a fine spooky day. I would recommend the provocatively produced; mind altering story the HPLS prepared for you with this gruesome tale.

Excellent example of HPLHS’s fine work.

Love crafts classic the shadow over in Smith has given the old time radio treatment to excellent effect.

My favorite one!

I've listened to so many of these HPLHS Dark adventure, audio dramas. This one is my favorite. I can't even count how many times I've listen to it. I can't recommend these enough. I highly recommend you find all the ones you can and buy them all. The vast majority of them are only like an hour and 15 minutes, but it's so well done. Especially if you have any sort of a commute back-and-forth to work or something. This is a fantastic way to spend it.

Fantastic!!

I love these productions of Lovecrafts work!! Great performance. The sound effects amd music amplify the story perfectly. I'm buying the whole set.

Splendid Narration

Love the folks that do these theatrical versions of lovecrafts stories. Worth the listen and my favorite version of the story.
