Thomas Olney has spent years longing for something beyond the safe, predictable world he knows. When he finally reaches a place where impossible visitors cross the threshold, he may discover that a man can return home without bringing all of himself back. The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts US, this from sinisteracyd, “Sir you have a great voice and I absolutely devoured these stories.” Thanks Sinister, we appreciate the review and the 5 stars. H. P. Lovecraft achieved little financial success during his lifetime, earning modest payments for stories that would eventually establish him as one of the most influential horror writers in history. His influence extended to numerous other authors who continued to expand the strange fictional universe he created long after his death.
