Acerca de esta escucha

The perfect H. P. Lovecraft title to follow on from 2010's At the Mountains of Madness, and the only HPL title not to appear in a periodical! Perfect also because it is split in to 5 distinct chapters...ripe for abridgement into five half-hour episodes!

The Shadow Over Innsmouth tells the first-person story of a young historian, Robert Olmstead, who, while investigating his family genealogy in New England, is intrigued to learn about a hated and mysterious fishing town called Innsmouth. When he visits he finds the place to be run-down and near-deserted, with a cult-like religion and a strange, degenerate population. His investigation soon turns into a race to escape the town and the the evil creatures he sees emerging from the sea.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth was written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1931 and is the only one of his works of fiction not to have initially been published as part of a periodical. It continues HPL's Cthulhu Mythos, featuring townspeople worshipping the elder sea god Dagon and mentioning the mysterious Shoggoth creature of his other works.

Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction. As early as the 1940s, Lovecraft had developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of humanity-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical.

Although Lovecraft's audience was limited during his life, his reputation has grown and he is now regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century. Stephen King called him "the 20th century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale." This 2011 adaptation comprises five episodes, originally aired on BBC Radio 4 Extra, once again read by the superb Richard Coyle and featuring music by acclaimed composer Jon Nicholls. The series is offered here in exclusive extended edition.

Lovecraft writes wonderful stories. I'm being pulled deeper and deeper Into his offerings. Maybe one day I will turn into something that can worship the others undeserving as I am.

Love Lovecraftian stories, timeless as ever.

I am a huge fan of HP Lovecraft, and this is one of the finest readings of his work I have ever heard. I plan to find out if this reader has recorded other Lovecraft works and if so I plan to listen to them. This reading is augmented by very effective and spooky background music. I was skeptical at first about the music but it heightened the sense of horror and suspense of the storymn

incredibly powerful performance

Almost perfect,
Best sound effects, narration and pacing of an version of this story I've found.
My only complaint is that for some reason they found it necessary to introduce the book and do the credits at the beginning of EVERY chapter... it's a short story, give me a break. Weird, unfortunate choice.
Very minor in the scheme of things.

best narration for this story

The story is one of the essential Lovecraft reads and the performance was absolutely on point.

Excellent portrayal! Classic terror from Lovecraft

I did not know about H.P. Lovecraft. But this short story was a nice introduction to him as a writer. I found the book dark and frightening. it was so riveting, I had to listen to the book in one sitting. In addition to a really good story, the Narrator was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!
I will be looking for him in other stories. His tone when the tense moments happened had me on the edge of my seat. And of course that music....I was scared for the protagonist before the danger even happened. I have found a new author and a new narrator!

Great Story, Narrator, Music!
