What is cosmic horror, and what makes it so effective? After last week's episode on Lovecraftian horror, we're diving into cosmic horror as a separate entity from Lovecraft--and yes, we then proceed to discuss more Lovecraftian horror for the first half of the episode. Also including Sarah's potential clown fetish, Amelia's unquestionable mushroom fetish, and a joke about hentai that Amelia was going to cut but Sarah made her keep in so look forward to that. 

In this episode we discuss the following pieces of media: 

• Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan
• The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
• The Dream Quest of Vellit Boe by Kij Johnson
• Bloodborne (game)
• The Magnus Archives (podcast)
• Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw
• Catfish Lullaby by A. C. Wise
• The Fisherman by John Langan 
• The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
• Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
