I love this series of HP Lovecraft radio adaptations. But this is not one of the better shows or stories.This is another wonderful Dark Adventure Radio Theatre adaptation of a H.P. Lovecraft short story. It has all the superb old-time radio program touches that make HPLHS's DART programs a delight to listen to. A extra bravo is merited for the artful scripting on this DART program as this particular program also has the added benefit of taking one of H.P. Lovecraft's most virulently xenophobic stories and gently shaping it into something that emphasizes the cosmic horror, the aspect HPL fans admire him for, without wallowing HPL's ethnocentrism and racism, something HPL fans are aware of but does not attract them to the writer of weird fiction from Providence. Highly recommended, especially the CD which comes with a slew of props to support the radio drama.Note: This listener picked this one up at NecronomiCon 2015 and thus the lack of the confirmed purchaser (from Amazon) notation on this review.Excellent, as usual.The HP Lovecraft Historical Society have rediscovered the art of the Radio Play. They recapture those childhood evenings, listening to the radio, complete with 'a word from our sponsor'Remember how good the Radio version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was, compared to the movie, the TV series and even the book?There's a reason for that - Radio plays evoke images in your own imagination, using sound and spoken word: TV and Movies supply someone else's images.The Horror at Red Hook wasn't the greatest of Lovecraft's stories, but the radio version is splendid. It even includes some sly digs at Lovecraft's xenophobia, well to the fore in the original short story.As always, strongly recommended.Another fun romp in the 'what if HPL stories were adapted for radio'. The Horror at Red Hook is one of HPL's more infamous stories due to his rants on immigrants and racism in NYC in the 20's. The HPLHS manage to tread the line between ignoring it utterly, and being offensive with a deft hand (and some humor). The play itself is pretty faithful to the story, with some added bits to make it work as a radio play over a short story. Definitely worth a listen (as are all HPLHS Dark Adventure Radio Theatre productions) if you like HPL, or old time radio stories.These Dark Adventure Radio Theater productions keep getting better and better! The professionals at the HP Lovecraft Historical Society have created an entire series of old-style radio shows, complete with sound effects, a marvelous musical score, and excellent acting--and this installment is one of the best. I've read HP Lovecraft's short story "The Horror at Red Hook" many times, and have to say this was an entertaining, exciting, and faithful adaptation.Dark Adventure Radio Theater does it again with a creepy and mesmerizing take on H.P. Lovecraft's tale of a police officer's investigation into a New York cult and its otherworldly attentions. I highly recommend this atmospheric series as a must for fans of Lovecraft and radio show entertainment.Just finished listening to this masterful and gripping adaptation of a problematic HPL story. Congratulations to Sean, Andrew, and the DART Players for a captivating performance.
