Elder Sign is The best weird fiction podcast

Glenn and Brandon are passionate about genre fiction in all its forms and take particular delight in breaking down and explaining the elements and mechanics of authors such as Lovecraft, Poe, Howard as well as lesser known authors. Many of my favourite books and short stories have been discovered by listening to this podcast. I can’t recommend Elder Sign or Claytemple Media’s other projects enough.

Nice literature deep-dive

Enjoyed the show. Great deep-dive into the literary devices of pulp, science and weird fiction from the early 20th Century. Keep it up guys!

andre_brz ,

Amazing podcast!

I’m so glad for all the authors I heard about because of this amazing podcast. I’m not a native English speaker, but listening something that I’m passionate it’s something else. Thank you guys for the clear intonation, the bits of humour, it’s all very exciting
