The perfect HP 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 in to 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 in to a race to escape the town and the the evil creatures he sees emerging from the sea. “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” was written by HP 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. This 2011 adaptation comprises 5 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 EDITIONS.

If you’re looking for an introduction to Lovecraft, this is a good place to start. Excellent narration too.

I immensely enjoy HP Lovecraft’s style and this story is as captivating as expected. His use of language lends a depth of meaning to even the most basic of descriptions. Truly magnificent. The way in which Lovecraft manages to intertwine dark fantasy with every day life is both enthralling and fascinating. A master like no other.

Jag älskar Lovecraft. Han skriver på ett så omständigt sätt att man blir utmattad av att läsa honom ibland. Den här ljudboken är vad jag förstår redigerad från originalet. Det stämmer nog då jag tycker mig ha minnen ur avsnitt som saknas. Den här inläsningen är mycket bra, tyvärr gillar jag icke musiken i bakgrunden. Betyget 4/5 reflekterar den här utgåvan, inte berättelsen som sådan.

Mästerligt skrivet! Mästerligt uppläst! Lovecraft är oslagbar i krypande skräck!
