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.

Super fun!

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

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

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.
