Episode 117: (01/17/2022)

Episode 117 features a retelling of “The Picture in the House” by H.P. Lovecraft.
Bob explores some of the light that is shed on the reclusiveness and racism of the author through this story and how this is more blatantly portrayed in this story as opposed to becoming more hidden in some of his later work.
This story was prompted by an accompanying series on the Lunatics Radio Hour that starts with Episode 95
Thanks for listening everyone. Enjoy!
