Summary
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.

excellent adaption of classic lovecraft
Interesting premise with believable character interaction (nothing seems forced and characters are there for a reason, not just to shove an already established lovecraftian figure in and slap a miskatonic approved label on the book).
Plot was interesting but the interaction between the characters, something Lovecraft's work generally lacks, was the real star of this book.
Excellent performance by the cast.

Love a good drama
Was a fun engaging story based on HP Lovecrafts world but in the modern age.
It is a audio drama and not a book so don’t go in expecting descriptive dialogue about what’s happening and go in expecting a audio drama and you should enjoy it.

Pretty good
Don't understand the negative reviews. It's typical Lovecraft style - convoluted and scattergun. Because of this, it was so much easier to listen to than read. I've always struggled with the books so this suited me very well.

overall a descent horror
The voice actor and sound design did an amazing job. The story had a great start but lost my interest about half way through. may require a second sitting.
After a second sitting I've decided I really like it.

Rubbish
Hard to follow, full of noise and nonsense. I hated it. Don't bother because it doesn't get better

hp lovecraft fans
If you like hp lovecraft stories , you will love this . I think this is the only audible book i listened too in one day. The other reviews say about the screaming and the other narration viewpoints but it makes sense in the story . it supposed to be about madness ,terror, cosmic terror , and the unknowable. i really liked stanley tucci and the voice actor for herbert west. i look forward too a sequel.

Too many sounds?
My main problem with this is that there is little definition of what is happening in the complex sound scapes. There are so many cacophonic sounds clashing together that my brain couldnt keep up. Normally I’m a fan of cthonic horror but there a large spaces in this that in a visual media would help to define. Reminds me of my weird childhood where I would record tv programmes onto cassette tape (before video) and have to remember what happened in places with sound effects and music. It would have benefited from some kind of narration.
