The Wrath of the iOtians

For our Halloween episode...Jake introduces Ron to the world of H.P. Lovecraft!

Joyce Carol Oates (ed.), Tales of H. P. Lovecraft: https://www.indiebound.org/book/%209780061374609

T.E.D. Klein, The Ceremonies: https://www.pspublishing.co.uk/the-ceremonies-trade-paperback-by-ted-klein-4424-p.asp

H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society: https://store.hplhs.org/

Necessary Reading: Joyce Carol Oates, "King of the Weird," New York Review of Books (10/31/1996): https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1996/10/31/the-king-of-weird/

There are also a fair number of Lovecraft adaptations in film (a list of "Lovecraftian" films would be impossibly long); amongst my favorites are Dagon (2001), Whisperer in Darkness (2011), Call of Cthulhu (2005), Color out of Space (2019), and pretty much anything with actor Jeffrey Combs.
New Lovecraft fans should also check out the fabulous "Whisperer in Darkness" podcast from BBC Podcasts: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06spb8w
