In this episode, Nate and Mike enjoy a robust Bolivar Cofradia Robusto cigar while diving into the complicated legacy of H.P. Lovecraft—a pioneering cosmic horror writer whose vivid mythos remains hugely influential despite his overt racism and white supremacist beliefs. They discuss Lovecraft's life, his troubling views, and how his work has been embraced, adapted, and reinterpreted by many creators who reject his bigotry. The hosts also explore the challenge of separating art from the artist, recommend various Lovecraftian stories and modern takes, and reflect on the continued popularity of Lovecraft’s mythos in literature, games, and culture today. Plus, they wrap up with their detailed cigar review.
