“A hidden race of monstrous beings which lurks somewhere among the remoter hills, in the deep woods of the highest peaks.” Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents Lovecraft's classic tale of alien horror as a 1930s-style radio drama, performed by professional actors with full sound effects. It's the sort of thing you enjoy best with your eyes closed and the lights low.

The story

Albert Wilmarth, a professor of folklore at Miskatonic University, receives a curious piece of mail: a recording of a man claiming that strange creatures live in the remote mountains of Vermont, exactly as the old folklore describes. The evidence is compelling enough that Wilmarth heads to Vermont to see for himself, and what he finds is far worse than anything he imagined. Whether he escapes with his life and his sanity is another question entirely.

This is the Special Pandemic Edition, written and produced during stay-at-home orders so that no two members of the team were ever in the studio at the same time.

What's in the CD edition

The CD holds the roughly 70-minute audio show and comes with a collection of props to deepen the listening experience, all illustrated by Darrell Tutchton in the familiar Dark Adventure Radio Theatre style. The CD version also includes a free digital download.
