Hey H.P. fans! We've been doing this audiodrama thing, but a little differently. We put tons of effort into our audio, sfx, and music, but then we add another layer with what we call and "infovision" window, where we display background info, historical tidbits, explanations of complex back story, and lots of fun imagery, and we also have a little window on the side, where we run definitions of all the rare words authors like to use (especially Lovecraft, he's why we started it! LOL). We find it to be lots of fun, maybe you will too. Hope you can check it out, and enjoy it, it really is an homage to all our favorite authors and stories. Thanks!

Thought the community would enjoy this small German production film adaptation of HP Lovecraft's The Colour Out Of Space. It nails the tone and sense of dread, and is a mostly faithful adaptation (as opposed to the Nicholas Cage movie). If you liked The Lighthouse let's say, there's a good chance you'd like this!

Production values are high, some interesting additions to the genre. Like Slay the Spire, but with Elder Gods

Though not specific to the Cthulhu Mythos, The Lovecraft Investigations is highly recommended to any lovers of Lovecraft. It's a spoof true crime podcast set in the present day and the plots are based on classic Lovecraft stories.

As it's BBC, I'm guessing it may be geolocked, but for anyone who can access BBC Sounds the previous three seasons are available and a new one is about to start soon.^___^

Link - From the nihilistic absurdity of Thomas Ligotti to the heavily science-fictional chills of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, the cosmic horror of today continues to tell tales of a vast, indifferent, and even carnivorous cosmos, through new lenses and fresh new perspectives.

Here are a few of the best cosmic horror books from exciting writers new and old—both those who were writing before Lovecraft appeared on the scene, and those who have come after.

Soedesco is adding to the horrors of Halloween on Switch as it's announced a 27th October release date for Superlumen's Lovecraftian point-and-click Desolatium.

Originally announced back in June 2023, Desolatium is a surreal, psychological graphic adventure where you'll come face-to-face with many of Lovecraft's iconic creatures — many of which "defy conventional description".

Desolatium has already been highly praised for its innovative structure and sound design, so don't go in expecting this to be your typical Lovecraftian horror experience
