À propos de cet audio
Welcome to Arkham County. Population: 749,824. But that number’s dropping all of the time....
Lying northeast of Massachusetts, just south of Hell, Arkham County is somewhere you find yourself, not somewhere you ever mean to go. Once you do find it though, you'd better get used to living there, as you may be there for however long you have left to live.
From within the walls of Arkham’s asylum, reclusive writer Randolph Carter tells the story of orphan Violet Flintock, who arrives in Arkham County in search of her own history only to be instantly greeted by the bloody realities of this small town, whose foundations are built from the lore and mythology of HP Lovecraft.
In this Audible Original production, Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada, Fortitude) leads a cast to introduce you to the horrific, bizarre and just plain weird world of Arkham County. This HP Lovecraft-inspired tale will delight fans and those unfamiliar with his wild, surreal and terrifying horror stories.

intriguing story line

The story and concept was interesting however it seemed all over the place. They introduced too many plot threads and didnt have enough time to explore each of them. They felt really rushed. There was also a plot line that built up during the story and then sort of rushed and cut it off to finish it. Much of the production felt that way.
Overall It had a lot of promise, it want horrible or bad however it fell short of other Audible productions, It's free so add it to your library in case you dont have anything else to listen too.
An over the top, melodramatic production

First, the voices of the characters Violet Flintock and Morrigan Lee are completely indistinguishable from each other. I could distinguish between Herbert West and Walter, but for the first several chapters, I believed Violet's events were the same as Morrigans, I believed them the same people, so I believed Violet was the one working with Herbert. But that was Morrigan. The saving grace was that Violet's character is slightly more meek than Morrigans, so when I finally put it together that they were different characters, it was a big "aha" moment, and that's when it started making sense a little better.
Stanly Tucci's Randolph Carter made it a worthwhile listen, he, of course, is recognizable every time. You know who he is, and it's fun to discover progressively what he gets up to.
I found it distasteful that virtually all of the young female characters conduct themselves with a casual and timid flippancy. I felt like this made them appear inferior to the male characters, who carried themselves with a confident superiority, with the exception of Walter, who is pretty whiny. Maybe this H.P Lovecraft guy was a little misogynistic, and that accounts for it. But the flippancy in the ladies makes them come across as immature and spiteful, which is an unfortunate underlying echo throughout the themes. The Witch lady, (Livinia?) was confident, but I think she was older.
The actors gave their lines confusingly at times, putting emphasis on the wrong words. That's my opinion. "You don't HAVE to tell me," I think was supposed to be "You DONT have to tell ME," for instance. But I liked the idea of Arkham County. I want to see more of these types of things. It was fun, it was fresh! It can be built and improved upon as the genre gains momentum.

Also, I think there were some really great ideas in the story, but the presentation fell a bit flat. I had a very hard time distinguishing some of the characters (especially the female voices), and spent a lot of the time a bit lost in regards to the story. There were many times when the background sound, special effects and music were outrageously loud, forcing me to turn the audio down, just to have to crank it back up again because I couldn't hear the speaking parts. I also didn't understand a word of what Brown Jenkins said. Many times, the background audio was louder than the voices, which made it impossible to hear.
All that said, I believe the story was great, I just really wish more thought would have been put into the sound mixing for the final product. I love audio plays, this one just had a lot of problems.
