I listened to all three seasons of this and they were entertaining. The audio production and voice acting is top-notch. It's a modern-day version of Lovecraft's stories. They're presented as though they're part of a true-crime podcast, but otherwise close to the source material. This is unlike the Lovecraft-inspired stories I am more used to (such as [a:Jordan L. Hawk 6519692 Jordan L. Hawk https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1521548404p2/6519692.jpg]'s books or Peter Clines's [b:14 15062217 14 (Threshold, #1) Peter Clines https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1338999953l/15062217.SX50.jpg 20716929]), in that those are original stories using Lovecraft's ideas, and it's very unlike [b:Winter Tide 29939089 Winter Tide (The Innsmouth Legacy, #1) Ruthanna Emrys https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1463670456l/29939089.SY75.jpg 47306624], which is a thoughtful exploration of Lovecraft. This podcast isn't really deep in any way, just something fun to listen to. But if you like cosmic horror and unsolved mysteries, it's done well.
