H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Though not specific to the Cthulhu Mythos, The Lovecraft Investigations is highly recommended to any lovers of Lovecraft. It's a spoof true crime podcast set in the present day and the plots are based on classic Lovecraft stories.
As it's BBC, I'm guessing it may be geolocked, but for anyone who can access BBC Sounds the previous three seasons are available and a new one is about to start soon.
As long as is " based on works" is fine π. The rules are more of a guideline to avoid too many different contents. BTW for more "cosmic horror" contents i suggest you all this great community as well >> Lovecraftian cosmic horror !CosmicHorror@kbin.social
They are respectful to the original plots and very cleverly done. Quite dark as well, they're not playing it for laughs.
Yup, season one was Charles Dexter Ward. Theyβve nailed it so far, super excited for this season!
