Great literary review podcast of H. P. Lovecraft, Chambers, Hodgson, Poe, Dunsany, Machen and other classic weird fiction, as well as more contemporary authors like Ligotti and Mieville. Each ep is part clear summary, part clever analysis.

Description

College-level conversations about the masters of horror literature from H.P. Lovecraft to Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King.
