Arkham County

An Audible Original Drama

By: Guy Adams, AK Benedict

Narrated by: David Annen, Emily Barber, Burn Gorman, Alex Kingston, Stuart Milligan, Stanley Tucci

Welcome to Arkham County. Population: 749,824. But that number’s dropping all of the time....

Lying northeast of Massachusetts, just south of Hell, Arkham County is somewhere you find yourself, not somewhere you ever mean to go. Once you do find it though, you'd better get used to living there, as you may be there for however long you have left to live.

From within the walls of Arkham’s asylum, reclusive writer Randolph Carter tells the story of orphan Violet Flintock, who arrives in Arkham County in search of her own history only to be instantly greeted by the bloody realities of this small town, whose foundations are built from the lore and mythology of HP Lovecraft.

In this Audible Original production, Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada, Fortitude) leads a cast to introduce you to the horrific, bizarre and just plain weird world of Arkham County. This HP Lovecraft-inspired tale will delight fans and those unfamiliar with his wild, surreal and terrifying horror stories.

Get rid of the background noise!

Why are you drowning out the amazing Stanley Tucci!!?? I really enjoyed the story and the performers. I was completely distracted by the overwhelming background noise. I had a hard time hearing the performers at some points and had to keep backtracking.

A brilliant Lovecraftian Crossover

This was a wonderfully integrated audiodrama made up of Lovecrafts most notable characters, all whipped into something original and divoid of the author's unfortunate beliefs regarding people.

what the heck

I dont know what I just listened to. Sound design was a bit over the top. By a bit I mean way way way over. Stanely Tucci stole the show when his character appeared. Sans his character I would have turned this off.

awesome very good sound depth.

very well done gory and just very much for adults but very good story of a crazy town that just won't let go.

too much noise

I agree with other reviewers, background music and noise is not necessary had to turn it off
