They’re raising funds at the moment to do Call of the Cthulhu. They have also released a mini series called Crowley on Kickstarter, which is excellent @juliansimpson.bsky.social
I only discovered it last year…I must have listened to the entire thing a dozen times over since (even though bbc sounds have removed some). It’s quite simply the best Lovecraft adaptation I’ve ever heard or seen. I’m unfeasibly excited for this

This image is a digital newsletter or announcement titled Back on the BBC, dated 11 April 2026. Layout and Visuals At the top, the title is followed by the byline ‘By Kennedy Fisher & Matthew Heawood’. Below this is a horizontal banner featuring four promotional posters for BBC Radio 4 audio dramas, each based on H.P. Lovecraft stories: • The Case of Charles Dexter Ward • The Whisperer in Darkness • The Shadow Over Innsmouth • The Haunter of the Dark Text Content The body text provides an update on the availability of these shows: ‘After quite a lot of back and forth and uncertainty, our first two seasons; The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and The Whisperer in Darkness are now back up on BBC Sounds, and available via whichever podcast service you use. Now that all the shows are together in one place, and available for free, we'll be retiring the RSS feed we have been using in the interim. The BBC deal applies only to our first four seasons. Crowley is still subscriber-only and our forthcoming season will also be crowdfunded and subscriber-only.’
Fantastic news - can’t wait to hear Crowley

A close-up of Richard Burton as John Morlar in the 1978 film The Medusa Touch. He has a wide-eyed, intense, and slightly distressed expression, staring directly at the camera. Below the image, the words ‘General Witchfinders’ are written in a large, white, gothic-style font against a black background.

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.
He is risen

I just finished reading an advance copy of Ray’s new collection of stories ‘Thin Places in Hard Concrete.’ Highly recommended. Much to admire but ‘Unreleased’ is the stand-out story for me. I won’t say any more, the less you know, the more you’ll enjoy it. Stunning work.

The opening title card for the 1978 film The Medusa Touch. The image features a circular, bronze-coloured relief of a screaming woman’s face surrounded by writhing snakes in place of hair, representing the mythological Medusa. The film’s title is superimposed over the centre in a bold, yellow, stylised font with sharp angles. Small white text at the bottom provides the copyright information for ITC Entertainment Ltd from 1978.

“Ray Newman is an M. R. James for the 21st century. His haunting stories unfold in familiar, even banal settings – a rented flat, a holiday let, an inexplicable motorway interchange, the corner of a room... ” says @davidcollard.bsky.social
Telegraph headline: Paul Daniels injured in Sooty pizza-throwing accident Paul Daniels, the magician, was taken to hospital with head injuries after being hit in the face by a pizza thrown by the puppet Sooty.
