About this listen
A random murder in a public park. An artist wracked by fantastical and haunting dreams. A police inspector confronting the depraved rites of a voodoo cult. Intrepid sailors pitted against a diabolical monstrosity risen from the bottom of the sea. And one man, doomed to understand that such things foretell madness and the end of mankind.

A student of Native American lore investigates Yig - the shadowy snake god of an extinct tribe of the Great Plains.

In great cities of the world, humanity congregates, and commerce, culture, and cosmopolitan sophistication blossom in their gardens. But in the shadows that lie beyond the broad boulevards and glare of electric lights, great cities give birth to something else. In these shadows thrives a dim underworld, peopled by nefarious characters brought together from every godforsaken corner of the globe. Can a lone policeman make a stand for decency against the godless denizens of New York’s most loathsome slum, or will he find himself consumed by the filth and depravity of nameless cults?

a classic
I understand the influence Lovecraft has had on pop culture, his stories influenced things like hellboy(one of my favorite comic books) but consider this, I hate h.p. Lovecraft. in his work, he often uses words like "otherworldly" or "indescribable" to avoid actually describing things and the racism is another topic entirely, however this was enjoyable putting aside all of that. you can really tell the people making this audiobook made it with love

Another great retelling
I was curious how'd they do this one as it is all just diaries and newspaper clippings that made up this story originally. Doing this instead of from Dr Angel's Nephew as he goes through Angel's things; having this story take place by an investigator that has found Angel's notes at the now dead Nephew (because in the original it ends with the Nephew suggesting he would be next to be killed by the Cult) gave this a far more immersive drama feel compared to reference after reference to journals and clippings
