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.

Story
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.
Publisher's Summary
A meteorite from cosmic space falls to earth on a backwoods Massachusetts farm. The space rock possesses peculiar qualities and mystifies even the brightest university scientists. But it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary meteor, as its otherworldly influence unleashes a creeping wave of despair, death, and decay into the land and its inhabitants.

A Great Adaptation
I’ve encountered various adaptations of “The Colour Out of Space” (including the recent film version by director Richard Stanley featuring Nicolas Cage) and I must say this is one of the best. It hews much more closely to Lovecraft’s original and what it does add just fills in some gaps rather than altering anything significant. Recommended to all fans of Lovecraft and old time radio drama.

Dark and brooding intergalactic terror!
Color out of Space is a tale that features an intrusion from other realms into our own, and the horrors which follow.
The performance was, as always for any piece by the HP Lovecraft historical society, exceptional.
The one thing that would vastly improve Lovecraft is that there are nearly no female characters of note. It is important to remember that Lovecraft is a product of his age, but it does get a little bland in that regard.
