Sanctum Secorum #57 - The Trail of Cthulhu




Sanctum Secorum show

Summary: Tonight… We celebrate the Halloween season with something that is… Lovecraft adjacent. While August Derleth is known for rescuing the works of HP Lovecraft from obscurity through the founding of Arkham House, he also wrote his own stories tying in to Lovecraft’s works. Some were original works by Derleth and others were “posthumous collaborations with Lovecraft” (which were also original works by Derleth - essentially with Lovecraft’s name slapped on them). This is one of the former, not too unlike the latter. Tonight, we travel the Trail of Cthulhu! The Trail of Cthulhu is a series of interconnected short stories which chronicle the struggles of Laban Shrewsbury and his companions against the Great Old Ones, particularly Cthulhu.
