The Festival, by H.P. Lovecraft - eZine Podcast FICTION Episode!
12/23/22 β’ 29 min
β‘οΈ A horror podcast that feels like hanging around with friends! A few quotes from listeners:
π "I am deeply, deeply grateful for this group and the guests you have. When I listen/watch, I feel like after a lifetime of being a square peg in a round world, I've finally found my peer group. Thank you, thank you, thank you." -- Sandy Hale
π "Iβve had a pretty bad bout of depression this week and took half the week off of work and listening to some episodes of you all is helping a lot to occupy the mind. Too much information obviously, I know, but I appreciate all you do!!" - Jason
π "This podcast helped get me through lockdown. Love it!" - Jennifer Carstens
π "I usually try to catch your show Sunday afternoons on YouTube. I've come to look at you, Rick, Pete, Matt and others as buddies." - Ed Kinter
π "Listening to the Michael Shea episode. I have one of his books, and I want to get everything now. This is exactly why the eZine is so valuable to the community, for people like me who maybe SHOULD be reading a certain writer, but havenβt taken the plunge yet." - Robert Ottone
π Keep the eZine going! I can't do it without my Patreons -- full stop. They keep this going. Get access to EXCLUSIVE content: videos, books, and other perks: https://www.patreon.com/lovecraftezine

π As you know, The Lovecraft eZine Podcast is a group of friends who get together each week and chat with guests about all things horror. But from now on, I'm going to occasionally post a FICTION episode! And to start, since it's the Holiday Season, here is H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival". It's a Lovecraft story that I read each year about this time. π Our narrator is none other than my friend Soren Narnia of Knifepoint Horror. I think you'll agree that he does a fantastic job. And if you haven't yet checked out his podcast Knifepoint Horror, I encourage you to do so... you won't regret it. Start with a story titled "Staircase".
