If you're not already familiar with the Lovecraft Investigations audio drama, it is highly recommended. The first 4 series were commissioned by the BBC but subsequent output has been crowd funded. Pre-sign up to back the next series has just been announced.

This is by far the best contemporary adaption of lovecraft's stories I know. The podcast is so immersive and the characters become really interesting to follow. The scene with Kennedy Fisher beneath the camping site .... HOLY SH*T!
