The third and final part of Julian Simpson’s true-crime style drama podcast The Lovecraft Investigations will be live from Thursday November 19 on BBC Sounds.

This instalment, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, follows on from The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and The Whisperer in Darkness – both available on BBC Sounds.

A foggy seafront town where something’s coming from the water. An ancient cult, a stranger with a bandaged face and a body in a shallow grave. The story continues.

Matthew Heawood and Kennedy Fisher return and this time the story is Kennedy… A simple investigation into the disappearance of a young man from a mental health facility has taken them from Rhode Island to Iraq, to the Suffolk countryside – as they realised that everything uncovered in season one threaded through to season two.

Towards the end of The Whisperer In Darkness, the investigation turned inward as Kennedy discovered a possible family connection to the uncovered conspiracy. This evidence forces Heawood to question the veracity of Kennedy’s account of her time in Iraq. As Kennedy heads off to Innsmouth, to look into her apparently spooky ancestry, Heawood is going to Iraq to answer the most disturbing of all questions; could Kennedy be a killer?

Both Kennedy and Heawood make shocking, life-changing discoveries as the two investigations come together and reach a gripping conclusion – just as the coronavirus pandemic is sweeping the world.

Barnaby Kay and Jana Carpenter star in writer/director Julian Simpson’s HP Lovecraft-inspired universe.
