Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror

975 readers

H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

The audiodrama that has got a few mentions on here before switches from BBC Radio 4 to Kickstarter. Not sure why, as it has gone down well at the Beeb but that is how they are doing things.

Someone should do a buddy comedy in which Lovecraft and Crowley—two incompatibly different personalities, think weird loner nerd and loud, hyper-extroverted alpha-chad—are forced by circumstance to cooperate to solve some kind of supernatural mystery.

Interesting thanks for sharing. I've not caught the latest Lovecraft investigations but it's certainly well made

Did you listen to cold tapes?

Did you listen to cold tapes?

I did not - is it suitably Lovecraftian?

Not really but it has the same performative feel as Lovecraft investigations. Weirdly, although I listen to podcasts all the time, I find these narrative audio play things really hard to listen to
