Super fun!

Very good drama reading. Real unique horror! Tantalizingly frightful! A bunch more synonyms for unnerving.

So Good!

Love these Dark Adventure Radio Theater audio dramas! Excellent timey-like production complete with fake commercials. Amazing voice, actor, music, and special effects. I highly recommend them.

Wow I never knew this story was so good!!!

I have always found this Lovecraft story to be a little less interesting than some of his better know work. Wow was I wrong. This just became one of my favorite Lovecraft stories and the best episode of Dark Adventure yet! The way these radio shows bring to life Lovecraft's work while still maintaining the elements of the written versions that make his writing so captivating is amazing.

Terrifying Secret Buried by Amnesia

Another fantastic episode of Dark Adventure Radio Theater. A professor loses the memory of five years of his life. This adaptation was outstanding as usual. The production, sound effects and music are wonderful. What really sets this apart is the superb vocal talents of the actors. Every voice is pitch perfect in character and they perfectly immerse you in this world. So much fun!

Not as great

But still good!
Some of the acting and accents were not as convincing as usual and this story didn't capture me as many of the others have. Still a fun ride.

Riveting

A story to almost pulls you to the edge of your seat as your ears listen for the next sound, the next questionable piece of the puzzle, to hope to grasp the shadow out of Time

Enjoyed it!

As a huge fan of lovecraft and radio shows I just enjoyed the whole experience and can't wait for more.

Perhaps one of the best audio presentations ever

I wrote previously on another, earlier, title - not by the same publishers - in which the narration and sound effects were annoying and distracting. Amateurish and infantile. This book ... nay, it is not a book .. it is a PERFORMANCE ... was the exact opposite. Engaging, well acted, and a wonderful original story. Would look to get more of these theater pieces, for sure. BRAVO! *standing applause*

Favorite of the Dark Adventure series

This is exceptionally well produced and performed. I particularly commend the performance of the main character, but they all do an excellent job with the diction and vocabulary of the time period. It’s quite immersive.

The intro announcer is a bit corny, but if you listen to the other HPLHS radio dramas, you might catch a few references to the “sponsors”, which I found clever.

Another DARP rescue!

DARP has rescued several of the lesser known Lovecraft stories with their signature format, this amongst them.
