About this listen

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Whisperer in Darkness presents Lovecraft's classic tale of alien horror in a 1930s-style radio drama. The tale comes alive with a cast of professional actors and thrilling sound effects.

Albert Wilmarth, a professor of folklore at Miskatonic University, receives a curious piece of mail. It contains a recording of a man claiming that strange creatures live in the remote regions of the mountains of Vermont - just as described in old folklore. Its author presents compelling evidence and Professor Wilmarth eventually goes to Vermont to investigate for himself. What he discovers there is far, far worse than anything he could have imagined. Can the professor escape with his life and sanity, or will he become a part of a horror descended from interstellar space?

More reruns needed to make a proper review.

Unlike the previous dramatizations Dagon and At the Mountains of Madness, this one is in recording instead of radio broadcast. It's different and special in a good way.

This was a well-spent credit, the novel is better in this form, it gave me an eerie suspensuon and some jumpscare too.
