277: The Shadow Over Innsmouth – Sequels and Adaptations (advert free)
Added 2024-01-02 12:18:54 +0000 UTCFollowing our extended discussion of HP Lovecraft’s classic weird tale, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”, we’re taking a quick look at some of the various sequels and adaptations spawned by the story. As we mentioned in the first episode, this is by far Lovecraft’s most influential tale. Our overview is far from exhaustive, given the hundreds of tales that owe their origins to Innsmouth and its residents.
As well as a few favourite stories, we also take in some batrachian films, podcasts and even video games. Even so, we have doubtless missed some of your favourites. Please do let us know on social media which works you think we need to check out.
Happy New Year!
Somehow, we’ve made it to 2024. Happy new year, everyone! Here’s to another year of the fun kind of horrors.
