For the first time ever, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced an audio recording of all of Lovecraft's stories. These are not dramatizations like our Dark Adventure Radio Theatre - rather, this is an audiobook of the original stories, in all-new, never-before-heard recordings made by the HPLHS' own Andrew Leman and Sean Branney exclusively for this collection. This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

Disappointed with sound quality.
I have been loving the historical society's radio theater up until this addition. the old timey radio static and volume loss makes half this audiobook largely inaudible. A sad departure from their other titles, which I highly recommend.

Great dramatization!!!
I think this was the first production of Dark Adventure and its amazing! Unlike many modern productions of Lovecraft's work this is not campy or silly. It's a faithful dramatization of the story that goes beyond just listening to someone read the book. The news broadcasts give it a realistic feel in the same vein as Orson Wells production of War of the Worlds. Fans of Lovecraft and/or old time radio will love this!

Keep in mind it's DART's first radio play
So it is understandable that they're still tweaking things. As other reviewers have said, the "old news" segments are indeed really, really noisy. It's not incomprehensible, but if you're wearing hearing aid or have problem hearing in noise, I suggest that you avoid it. Otherwise, if you can make through that part, the rest of the play is really good. Performances of Professor Dyer and Danforth are commendable, the framing device works very well, and managed to overcome a lot of the excessive exposition problems that HPL originally had.

Very good, when you can hear it
This was really well done, and gives that authentic old-timey radio show feel. My only real criticism was how inaudible some of the (supposed to be static-heavy) early transmissions about the antarctic expeditions were. Listening on a commute with background noise made those parts practically impossible to understand, and I had to try listening to them again later in total silence to try and make anything out.

Dreadful!
Big fan of the works HP Lovecraft, but this production is so intentionally distorted in post production that it is almost unlistenable. The attempt at period audio processing makes this a travesty of a production and the HP Lovecraft historical society should be ashamed of its release.

Not an audiobook
Be warned, as Alexa did not warn me before I purchased this: This is not an audiobook, it is a radio play. Framed as an old-timey radio news show interviewing the people involved, they set it up well, but they go way too deep with the audio effects; you're not thinking, "Wow that really sounds like someone broadcasting from the south pole," you're thinking, "Wow I can't make out a single word that guy is saying."

I appreciate the effort
I felt this performance was a genuine effort to retell this story in a theatrical manner, an effort which I appreciate. However, I felt most of the static-ridden radio calls were nearly unintelligible and, while era appropriate, made my listening experience difficult.
