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.

Good but not the original

I enjoyed it but when talking to other people about it the story wasnt the same and since this was the first time listening to any of hp lovecrafts stories it confused me, would recommend the call of cthulhu and other stories over this

Beautifully creepy

I know the base story very well. This adaptation is wonderful. Great presentation and performances, and perfectly encapsulates the creeping horror of the original. A great listen!

Great introduction for new listeners

I loved it, the performances from the actors were phenomenal. H.P Lovecraft's works are hard to read at times, grammatically not to mention the history of his prejudices. Some looking for Thrills, Horror and suspense will love this adaptation

A must-listen Lovecraftian story

Listened to it in one sitting, I loved the voice acting and build up. Climax was amazing.

Would listen more from these guys!
