Lovecraft eZine: A Horror Podcast That Feels Like Hanging Out With Friends Mike Davis

His daughter texted the following:
"It's a shock to us all. My mom had checked in on him at 2AM and he was his usual self, then he wasn't responsive a few hours later. I'm glad to hear that he was able to be with you guys recently--I know that brought him so much joy."
More information here, below my video on the website page: https://lovecraftzine.com/2024/04/30/our-dear-friend-rick-lai-passed-away-in-his-sleep-last-night/
This is the audio version of the YouTube video from earlier this week (Tuesday, April 30, 2024).
