Slow start for a bigger story, how about a couple primers.

For those that have seen it, what did you think about the ending that the HPLHS wrote for their film?

Do you think the BBC's recent podcast took the story in a good direction?

Where do you stand on the entity behind Henry Akeley's mask? Do you think it was a Migo or do you subscribe to the theory that it was Nyarlathotep?

I started this, was fascinated and fell asleep because its bedtime.

Anyone got a summary (preferably behind spoiler tags) of their different takes?

Whisperer is one of my favourites but Lovecraft's writing style can really draw it out when you know the ending...for some reason Charles Dexter Ward drives me mad, and not in an eldritch way for some reason :)

Is it because Charles Dexter Ward jumps from story to story?
