1 – [Introduction]: RIP to Lovecraft But I'm Different

HP Lovecraft is a popular weird fiction author from the early 20th century. The depths of his stories have wrought games, movies, and a slithering mass of stories by other, better authors. The famed creator of Cthulhu, Herbert West, and a myriad of Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, Lovecraft is a household name for a certain kind of dreary, salt-encrusted household.

Meanwhile, Jay Beccus and Banyan White are a couple of 30-somethings in Michigan who have opinions about that.

Join us as we embark on a journey exploring and re-exploring the works of HP Lovecraft.
