  • So much more than a podcast

    I listen to and support many podcasts but this is by far my favorite. Mike Davis is such an invaluable source for all genres of horror in all forms- books, movies, radio dramas, etc. I have been turned on to so many incredible authors and amazing films. I highly recommend supporting Lovecraft eZine as a patron if you can afford it. It is a treasure trove for horror fans and a lovely community to boot.

Gothic Cosmic Horror: an interview with Nathan Ballingrud (and some surprise guests!)
Q: Is The Strange ever going to be made into a movie?
It's optioned and has drawn interest, but as with many options, there's no guarantee it will be produced; the author remains hopeful but realistic about the odds.
Gothic Cosmic Horror: an interview with Nathan Ballingrud (and some surprise guests!)
Q: Is Annabelle based on your daughter?
Sort of, though not identical; the seed came from imagining a young girl of that age growing up in a destabilizing world, which helped shape Annabelle's precocious yet flawed perspective.
PUNKTOWN is now an audiobook: an interview with the author & narrator
Q: What is involved in selecting a narrator and producing an audiobook?
Jerry describes the process from auditioning on ACX, selecting a strong candidate, preparing with pronunciation notes, and then the long editing and mastering workflow using DAWs and AI-assisted tooling to ensure a smooth, word-for-word faithful production.
PUNKTOWN is now an audiobook: an interview with the author & narrator
Q: How did the audiobook come about?

Cosmic Horror on the Eris Ridge Trail: an interview with Larry Hinkle
Q: What are your thoughts on the King in Yellow and related mythos in your work?
Larry discusses incorporating King in Yellow, Carcosa, and related mythos elements as Easter eggs and inspirations, while weaving them into his own stories without strictly retreading Lovecraft's exact plots, creating a fresh cosmic horror environment.
