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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

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.
