"Conflict with time seems to me the most potent and fruitful theme in all human expression," wrote the acclaimed writer of weird fiction H.P. Lovecraft, who noted that time was often emphasized in his stories because he viewed it as "the most profoundly dramatic and grimly terrible thing in the universe." 

In this special Halloween installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at scientific and literary themes involving time, as well as its role in cosmic horror, theories involving time travel, and also the possible relationship between time and UFOs, artificial intelligence, and much more, in an eerie exploration of one of Lovecraft's most famous and frightening motifs.
