Overview[]

Herbert West, an ambitious young medical student at Miskatonic University, and his colleague embark down a path filled with dubious science and horrifying results as they endeavor to bring life back to dead bodies that they harvest from the margins of society. Their unholy quest leads them across New England and eventually into the trenches of the Great War as West's scientific obsession degenerates into a hellish and perverse addiction to the abnormal.

Presented as a 1930s-style radio broadcast, Herbert West--Reanimator runs to slightly under 70 minutes and is available in both jewel-case compact disc and digital download formats. As is the norm with Dark Adventure productions, a set of thematic props is available to complement the ambience. These include:

  • An article from the Arkham Advertiser detailing the attacks made by one of West's escaped experiments.
  • A page from West's diary.
  • A document from West's Canadian military service.
  • Dr. Allan Halsey's funeral memorial card.
