  • Superb adaptation of Lovecraft

    Production quality and performances are truly top! I’m a huge fan of horror fiction but few other same genre podcasts made me feel this edgy. Big mystery tho is what happened to the FIRST SEASON?

  • Seasons 1 and 2 are listed as separate podcasts- not missing!

  • Extraordinary drama

    I keep going back to this amazing series. But where have series one and two gone? I thought it was a mistake but this has not been fixed so I guess they are just letting the seasons die. Sad.
