Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: The Lurking Fear brings to life H.P. Lovecraft's tale of a lingering supernatural horror in a 1930s-style radio drama. Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents the tale with a huge cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects, and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies. It’s like movies you can enjoy with your eyes closed.

A student of Native American lore investigates Yig - the shadowy snake god of an extinct tribe of the Great Plains. His investigation uncovers an account from 1889 of settlers homesteading in the Indian Territories of Oklahoma. A pervasive fear of snakes nudges a simple settler towards madness. Are his fears of the dreaded snake god's curse just the result of hearing old stories, or is a new story unfolding as Yig's curse takes hold?

I loved all of these and this is no exception. It’s at the same level as the others and I would recommend it to fans of Lovecraft or radio dramas.

Just as good as all the others

This was an all new adventure from the wonderful crew at the HP Lovecraft Historical Society. Terror lurks from a curse of a Native American snake god. Settlers in the late 1800 get more than they bargained for. As always, the cast and production are superb.

Years from now, when the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, is history.
This outfit would be always remembered as one of the best organization that promoted HPLC's works.
For me, their audio interpretations of HPLC's works are the best.
Production, the actors and actresses, editing, audio quality completely captures that, "sense of dread" that made HPLC one of the most imaginative, influential horror story author ever.

Best audio dramatizations of HPLC's stories

While the production and quality of this one is top notch as always. The story for this one just wasn't as engaging as others done by the Society. While the story wasn't horrible, it didn't have any of the creeping dread or otherworldliness that other Lovecraft products have.

A great production, only so so story.

The actors do a superb job in portraying their parts, but a large portion of time is set aside for tellings of other stories that have no bearing on the overall narrative, seeming only to pad out what would otherwise be a great short story.

Great performance, not a great story

I think the performance and little ad-libs done by the performers made this story so much better than it ever had been on any of my readthrough's of lovecrafts works. The curse of Yig is one of the weakest in my opinion, and while i feel some parts added were a bit much, i think that the performance here really elevates the story. It seems as though the story was a tad padded out though. Overall, you are wanting the performances from these shorter ones as you can get lovecrafts whole work on audible for one credit, and much cheaper than all these singular tidbits. And so, i think it was a pretty fun time.

Excellent performance.
