“I will never read Lovecraft’s work, but I am curious as to what it’s all about.
This is a spectacular way to do that.
Thanks for creating this!”

“I like the concept and execution of the show, but found it rather distasteful when they dismissed the concept of people committing suicide out of grief as a humorous novelty in the episode about Arthur German. People have self immolated on many notable occasions throughout the decades, many in...”Read full review »

“It’s not often that you come across a podcast where the hosts banter and insight is as entertaining or frequently more entertaining than the subject materials itself.
This is one of those podcasts”

“Unfortunately, the hosts are a little lackadaisical and casual about investigating these stories. The insights provided are usually obvious conclusions that an average reader would arrive at. So, it's okay but lacking in depth. I will cite a comment I just found odd during the Polaris...”Read full review »
