The Sixth Doctor, accompanied by Flip, Mrs Constance Clarke and bounty hunter Calypso Jonze end up in Providence in 1937 and encounter HP Lovecraft in this slightly delayed release from Big Finish.

There’s no way that you can come away from this story not knowing that HP Lovecraft was a racist and a xenophobe, nor that he embodies so much of what the Doctor has stood against in all their incarnations, but Robert Valentine negotiates the path between creator and creations with aplomb.

It’s a story that deals with the problem of loving the creations but hating the creator. Read our full review here

Lovecraft has been in the news lately with the announcement of the “1945 Retro Hugo Awards” and the new TV series Lovecraft Country is out very soon (watch the trailer here).
