Any Lovecraft Fans? General Chat

He's developed his own mythos, and the podcasts are blending that with the Lovecraft one.

Time-honoured tradition in the horror world. The aforementioned Ramsey Campbell has his own Mythos. There are probably as many Mythoses as there are Mythos writers. And that is pretty much how he liked it. During Lovecraft's own lifetime, authors like Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard and even a young Robert Bloch added their takes on the Mythos, some of which HPL then incorporated into his own stories.

Where would you start with these? I listened to one of his shorts on the Dangerous Visions: Dark Vignettes section of the BBC Sounds app and thought it was thoroughly lacking, unfortunately. Hopefully these will be better and more akin to his Whisperer In Darkness which is wonderful.
