Oct 28, 2009 177 The Alchemy of the Imagination

In this Halloween episode of the podcast, KMO welcomes Erik Davis back to the program to discuss pulp horror author H. P. Lovecraft, who has achieved an astonishing level of posthumous legitimacy and is now recognized as a seminal influence in the popular imagination. In the second half of the discussion, KMO and Erik use the themes explored in Lovecraft’s work as a jumping off point for a more general discussion of the role of the human faculty of imagination.
