HPLHS Releases "The Dunwich Horror" Album

Sunday, June 15, 2008


The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has released another installment of its period-appropriate radio shows. "The Dunwich Horror" is currently retailing on CD for about $20 (or a stand alone MP3 download for $10) on the organization's website. HPLHS' previous production of "At the Mountains of Madness" won rave reviews for attention to detail in both the Lovecraftian and radio realms. The society, as a historical and Lovecraftian venue for appreciation, continues to make a good name for itself in both. Their story selection is very fitting this time as well. Something about "The Dunwich Horror" has always screamed for an audio adaption. Maybe it's the action and mystery of Dunwich's decrepit dabbling in the occult--resulting in the awful confrontations with both Wilbur Whateley and his unspeakable sibling. Whatever the case, it shouldn't be surprising to see this newest HPLHS release bolster their earlier success, and hopefully their coffers for future films and radio plays.

As if a full blown play of "The Dunwich Horror" isn't enough, the society is currently offering bonuses bundled with the $20 CD. Physical copies of articles, diary pages, and maps lifted from H.P. Lovecraft's story are among the offerings. These treats are sure to not only enhance the listening experience of the weird tale, but to appeal to gamers as well. Call of Cthulhu players and other RPG fans may find these accurate new props for scenarios involving haunted Dunwich.
