P. Lovecraft was a master of pulp horror and, love him or hate him, his influence on modern culture cannot be ignored. Name-dropped by such authors as Stephen King and Robert Bloch; referenced on such television programs as The Night Gallery, The Venture Brothers, and Supernatural; and influential in comics such as Bat-Man (yes, Arkham Asylum really was a nod to Lovecraft) Lovecraft&#8217;s reach is long indeed. His communication and collaboration with other greats such as Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and the rest of the &#8220;Lovecraft Circle&#8221; have shaped fantasy and horror for generations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tonight we merely skim the surface, discussing two of Lovecraft&#8217;s works, delving into the squamous side of things we discuss <em>Dagon<\/em> and <em>The Shadow Over Innsmouth<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast.
