About this listen

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents H.P. Lovecraft’s tale of a house with a horrifying history in a 1930s-style radio drama. The story bounds to life with a cast of nineteen professional actors, thrilling sound effects and an original orchestral score by Troy Sterling Nies.

On picturesque College Hill in Providence, Rhode Island, an old colonial house has sat empty for decades. No one would consider renting the house with its long history of woes and unexplained deaths. Can a young man and his elderly great-uncle get to the bottom of the unspeakable causes of the house's affliction? Or will their investigation bring them face to face with an enduring evil?

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

absolutely loved the story.

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shunned House" is a masterful exploration of cosmic horror that grips the reader from the very first page. The narrator's voice, both curious and fearful, draws the reader into a world of eerie mystery and supernatural dread.
The story unfolds with a slow, deliberate pace, building tension as the protagonist delves deeper into the secrets of the abandoned house. Lovecraft's vivid descriptions of the decaying mansion and the unsettling atmosphere create a palpable sense of unease. The underlying theme of cosmic horror is expertly woven into the narrative, hinting at a reality beyond human comprehension.
The ending, a chilling revelation that shatters the protagonist's understanding of the world, is a testament to Lovecraft's ability to shock and disturb. "The Shunned House" is a must-read for fans of the genre and a perfect introduction to the world of Lovecraftian horror.
