Madness gave birth to twins...one of them not quite there. A family isolated from town and from this world. One twin try to bring the other in this world, and reading of the Necromicon.A world where whipperwills are a cacophany of sounds, where vegetations are decaying and a mountain that has a monument older than the inhabitations of the local Native Americans.This is one of Lovecraft's best works. Tom Bougha

hmmmmmmm interesting, totally overacted. although it does cheer me up at times. Although I have to admit, if I want to get rid of people at the end of an evening, then this is the tape that will do it! Listening to this version is sure to set any shivers down your spine, than any un-namable, amorphous, writhing mass of tentacles (choose your preference) that any of Lovecraft's creations possess. If you're a lover of Lovecraft's work, then I would advise getting hold of the version read by Robert M. Price, which is produced by Necronomicon Press

Where is it written that all dramatizations of Lovecraft have to be done by overacting, community theater rejects? I tried listening to this ridiculous excuse for a radio drama, and I had high hopes. Instead, I heard over-acting that made me cringe! The adaptation was scatter-brained and thin. It was far too short to properly handle this story, which is one of the greatest Lovecraft stories. If you love Lovecraft, as I do, STAY AWAY FROM THIS VERSION! I have gotten rid of my copy of this horrible tape, but I still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth.
