"Some secrets should stay submerged..."

In The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Lovecraft guides listeners into a decaying coastal town shrouded in mystery, where ancient pacts and unnatural beings have shaped generations. What begins as an innocent detour for a young traveler turns into a spiraling descent into horror, madness, and the terrifying realization of what lurks beneath the surface—both of the sea and of his own ancestry.

When the narrator visits the almost-forgotten town of Innsmouth, he finds boarded-up homes, hostile townsfolk, and whispers of the Deep Ones—an aquatic race with whom the townspeople made a ghastly bargain. As he delves deeper, uncovering the town’s hideous legacy and its ties to ancient gods of the sea, he learns a chilling truth that will change his identity—and his destiny—forever.
