In which Tod and Claire discuss HP Lovecraft's "The Picture in the House," first published in the July, 1919 issue of The National Amateur. You can read the complete text at hplovecraft.com.
As this is a horror podcast, this episode might not be for everyone. Specifically, this story focuses quite a bit on cannibalism, as practiced in the unexplored Congo and backwoods New England, as well as an overstuffing of queso, a probable death by lightning strike (or, as Claire believes, an axe to the head), a singularly unkempt front lawn, and a side discussion of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and how it's the greatest "folk horror" movie of all time. If such elements are likely to disturb or offend you, you are urged to skip this episode.
