Are you looking for your people? Your tribe? You’ve found us! We’re a fun, friendly, horror community and podcast. Join us!

I’m Mike Davis. Each week, I bring you the Lovecraft eZine Podcast: a bunch of geeks talking about cosmic horror, weird fiction, and all things horror related. It’s a lot of fun, but Patreons get even more. For example:

• Hang out with us on Friday nights for our chat and trivia Zoom calls
• Join our Call of Cthulhu games
• Access to my Deep Background series
• Access to the HPL story discussions
• and much, much more.

For only $5 a month — less than the price of a fast food meal — you’ll have access to all of that. And at higher reward levels, you can get free Kindle and print books, stories by established writers like John Langan and Laird Barron, and more. You can even be a guest panelist on the show!

Click here to join the Patreon! You’ll be in good company: my Patreons include Victor LaValle, Laird Barron, Linda Addison, Paul Tremblay, Jeffrey Ford, Emma J. Gibbon, Philip Gelatt, Christopher Buehlman, and many others.

I am deeply, deeply grateful for this group and the guests you have. When I listen/watch, I feel like after a lifetime of being a square peg in a round world, I’ve finally found my peer group. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ~ a Patreon

Want more examples of what Patreons receive? Here are some of my favorite episodes:

• JOHN LANGAN: His life and work — plus, John’s advice for writers – Plus: John’s advice for writers! (The great Jeffrey Ford once wrote that this episode alone was worth the price of the Patreon.)
• Sandy Petersen VIDEO Interview: The 30th Anniversary of DOOM, the CALL OF CTHULHU RPG, and more – Sandy Peterson talks with us about Cthulhu Wars, Doom, Call of Cthulhu, and more!
• Laird Barron shares some of his strange, chilling, but TRUE life experiences – I was on the phone with Laird a while back, just catching up. Somehow we got on the topic of strange but true life experiences that we’ve had. Sunshine was streaming through the window, but as Laird spoke, my blood ran cold. I suggested that we do a Patreon Podcast so that he could relate these experiences to YOU, the Patreons, and he agreed to do so.
• The KING IN YELLOW patreon podcast – With show notes! I would have paid $100 (if I had that kind of money) just to listen to Rick Lai, Pete Rawlik, and Matthew Carpenter share their King in Yellow knowledge. Not trying to be hyperbolic, but it was absolutely incredible listening to them. I know you’ll love this episode.
• A discussion of the life and work of Michael Shea – With Linda Shea, Laird Barron, Sam Hamm, Marc Laidlaw, John Langan, Henrik Möller, and Mike Davis.
• The Stephen King multiverse – With Paul Tremblay, Bridgette Brenmark, Ben Handelman, and Mike Davis
• An interview with the creator of “The Dark Somnium” YouTube Channel – In 2018, Ronnie was homeless for a time, but he didn’t give up. In fact, he recorded videos from the back seat of his car! Soon after, the numbers swelled, and he’s had a large following ever since.
• The Forgotten Tapes of H.P. Lovecraft – Along lost recording of H.P. Lovecraft dictating some bits of memoir as he works through a notion for a short story. Is it real? Is it a fake? We may never know.
• EXCLUSIVE story read by Soren Narnia from Knifepoint Horror – Listen to “The Oldest Soldier” by Fritz Lieber! A bizarre rearguard action fought through the shadowed streets of nighttime Chicago, where the flap and scurry above you might be wind-blown trash or the beating of dark wings; where the smoldering red pinpoints behind you might he car taillights or cigarette butts or the hungry eyes of something alien and evil.
• Five (so far) narrations of Thomas Ligotti stories – $10 level and up. Jon Padgett reads Ligotti! (Note: this link only works if you are a Patreon.)
• DEEP BACKGROUND 5: Ramsey Campbell – A wonderful conversation with arguably the most decorated horror writer of all time. My “Deep Background” interviews get real about who the (writer, in this case) really IS. Their history… their STORY.
• Pete Rawlik talks about classifying Mythos Monsters – Pete is an expert on the Cthulhu Mythos.
• A Discussion of GHOSTWATCH – Halloween night, 1992. A Saturday. That evening, a faux documentary aired on  BBC1. Though it was clearly labeled as a drama, the style and people  involved caused many to believe that everything that was happening was real. Writer Emma Gibbon is a Patreon, and she suggested this Patreon  Podcast episode. I watched it again recently myself. It holds up and I  really enjoyed it. BUT… hearing Emma describe the actual experience of being 16, babysitting several younger brothers and sisters as they all  watched Ghostwatch, was truly amazing!
• LAKE MUNGO discussion, with Paul Tremblay, Nadia Bulkin, Mike Davis – Lake Mungo is one of the most unsettling films I’ve ever seen. Paul Tremblay and Nadia Bulkin love it as well, and in this Patreon Podcast, we discuss the film.

As you can see, there is a wealth of content waiting for you.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet. — W.B. Yeats
