297: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward part 2 (long cut)
Added 2024-10-07 23:01:01 +0000 UTCThis is the unedited version for backers only.
Following last episode's look into the story's origins, we are continuing our investigation into HP Lovecraft's novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. This time, we move on to one of the more action-packed parts of the book, and, indeed, of Lovecraft's work in general. The jilted Ezra Weeden gathers together an investigator organisation that might be more accurately described as an angry mob, and leads a raid on the Curwen farm in Pawtuxet. Expect lots of sinister chants, indescribable odours, and beams of light shooting into the sky for some reason.
