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.

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.

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.

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.

Terror in New England Town

This was another fabulous episode of the Dark Adventure Radio Theater. A young man learns the horrors of a town, not believing the warnings and stories he’s been told. Fantastic cast and excellent production. If you enjoyed this, be sure to pick up more episodes to delight and entertain you.
