Backing now open. Although it's the 5th season, this is an "on-ramp" for new listeners so even if you missed S1-4, you won't be lost. But also listen to 1: Charles Dexter Ward, 2: Whisperer in Darkness, 3: Shadow Over Innsmouth, 4: Haunter of the Dark on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts.
