Robert Price is best known as an essayist on Lovecraft who enjoys writing related fiction that doesn’t try to be purely pastiche. He does detour into politics a little but he gets back on subject. His mishmash of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas’ and Poe’s the ‘Raven’ is worth hearing.

What price are you willing to pay?

Author Nikki Nelson-Hicks explains why she is the lovechild of Flannery O'Connor and H. P. Lovecraft and why her stories are so short. She’s trying to change that. The Bell Witch even comes up.

Waiting for David C. Smith’s sequel to the Whisperer in the Darkness

Most people would think Lovecraft would be the most eccentric of his hometown of Providence, but there was at least one other – Clark Stanley, the Rattlesnake King. David Griffin separates the myths, the fact, and the unknowns of this showman.

Don’t have a hissy fit, read Lovecraft.

What did Lovecraft think of the Irish? Did he look down on them as much as the other ethnic groups? Ken Faig Jr. returns to talk about the horror writer’s view on the Hibernians.

For peat's sake, read “The Moon-Bog!”

2025 was deemed the Summer of Lovecraft and we are not just talking about Deep Ones in San Francisco. We discuss what Lovecraftiana encountered since last year -- from the disappointing finale of Stranger Things to a rare gem in Marvel Comics' Bring Out the Bad Guys series. We’re still laughing about P.U. Evilcraft. He definitely should have been a Garbage Pail Kid.

Favorite episode of Stranger Things: Conformity Gate

Dave Spence, park ranger of Mammoth Cave National Park, talks about how Lovecraft's story, "Beast in the Cave" is so accurate to the geography he thought Lovecraft visited there. He also goes deep into the history and lore of the cave, and even brings up the Hollow Earth conspiracy theory.
