About Pulp Archive: Weird Horror

The true weird tale has something more than secret murder, bloody bones, or a sheeted form clanking chains according to rule. A certain atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present; and there must be a hint, expressed with a seriousness and portentousness becoming its subject, of that most terrible conception of the human brain—a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space. --Hp Lovecraft on Weird Horror This genre of horror first appeared in early twentieth-century pulp magazines such as Weird Tales and Strange Tales. Writers including Seabury Quinn, William Hope Hodgson, M. R. James, Clark Ashton Smith, and H. P. Lovecraft pioneered its techniques, themes, and narrative structures, many of which continue to influence horror and speculative fiction today. Weird Horror Podcast restores and presents these long-neglected works through careful narration and preservation-focused production. The podcast aims to recover stories scattered across defunct magazines and fragile archives, making them accessible to modern listeners while maintaining their original tone, structure, and historical character. This podcast is part of a broader preservation project, Pulp Archive, dedicated to documenting, restoring, and maintaining Pulp Fiction.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
