"...it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms"

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®: Dagon: War of Worlds lets you hear Lovecraft's tale of undersea horrors in the style of a 1930s radio drama. Dark Adventure Radio Theatre presents HPL's story with a huge cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and thrilling original music by Troy Sterling Nies. Click here for more information about our other Lovecraft stories in the Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® series. It's like a movie you can enjoy with your eyes closed.

We've adapted and expanded on Lovecraft's "Dagon" and the result is a globe-trotting adventure where humanity's very existence hangs in the balance. A hapless mariner finds himself run aground on an island apparently heaved up from beneath the sea. Will his glimpse into the world of a race of sea creatures push him over the brink to madness, or will it unleash forces from the deeps, bringing havoc and horror to all mankind? Lovecraft's provided a terrific starting place, but Dark Adventure Radio Theatre takes it for quite a spin in this bold adaptation.

As with all episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®, we like to enhance your listening pleasure by including physical props from the story. However, we feel the props from Dagon: War of Worlds could be spoilers. Accordingly, we'll only tell you a little about them. Each CD comes with:

  • an inmate identification card from a federal penitentiary
  • a memorandum from the US Navy to an important government official about important maritime events
  • a page from the Portsmouth newspaper about a dramatic law enforcement incident
  • an interesting message sent from a disabled submarine

All of these great extras are complemented by the fantastic artwork of illustrator Darrell Tutchton in the style you've come to know and love from other episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®.

The cover art is available on apparel and other great items in our Redbubble store!

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®: Dagon: War of Worlds is now shipping and available for digital download. The CD edition comes with a free digital download. We do this because we know some of you really want the props but no longer have CD drives.

Everything else you ever wanted to know about Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® is right here.

Your best that we've heard yet!

We own 25 DART releases (so far) and LOVE them all but this was your best yet! I'm a big fan of OTR and have a pretty large collection; I was a big fan of the War of the Worlds panic broadcast as a kid and it was AWESOME hearing your melding of that with the Dagon mythos! So much fun!

A new old take

It was great to listen to this, and to enjoy this old story (one of the first HPL-story I ever read, way back when) in a new way (well...). With a dimly lighted room shivvering with some flickering candles, a good drink and the props to spice the world this made for quite the ominously relaxing eve.

Love this one!

This is my current favorite of the series. Loved how the group intertwined this story with others in the mythos. I really enjoyed listening to this and had me wondering where it would lead next. The music was great and sound effects really give this one realism.

An amazing tale!

Come and listen to this. It's an amazing story with some really cool liberties taken. I had a blast listening to this one. The props are really awesome and if you want some extra fun get the newspaper prop too.

This was really very good!

I have not listened to an audio telling of a story since childhood, tens of years ago, and sat in darkness listening to this show. It was really good. I think I've lost a part of my imagination since childhood, which is likely due to Hollywood films and video games adding it all for you, and leaving nothing left. I thought this was a great show. Everyone involved with it must have had a great time and feel very proud of creating something like this. The only thing I'd say is that perhaps I should have listened to The Shadow Over Innsmouth first, then followed on with this show as it carries on from that prior story.
