I have a new home public radio station. Of a sort.

Lovecraft was "you cannot look upon this alien geometry or you will go mad"; Night Vale is "and if you find yourself disturbed by the geometry, the clinic is open from 3 to 7 weekdays, 11 to 5 Saturday, closed on Sunday."

Cecil is also a master of the non-reassuring letter home, which is one of my favorite comedy tropes, so it delights me to hear it in cozy horror.

May I metaquotes?

[azurelunatic]

Certainly.

Cozy horror is the perfect term for it.

[azurelunatic]

It's got the same attention to small-town detail as the cozy murder mystery, so I figured it fit.

My favorite tag thusfar, as seen on tumblr, has been "This Lovecraftian Life", which suits it terribly well.

(As an aside: I am dorkily delighted that you are listening and enjoying in the way of "OMG my friends across many boards are all enjoying this thing! Including friends with whom I do not often have shared interests!" :D :D :D)

[azurelunatic]

That so very suits.

This is a perfect description of Welcome to Night Vale. I'll admit, I wasn't sold on it until about episode six, but now I'm hooked.

[azurelunatic]

I was sold at Hiram McDaniels. Rather, I was sold at the mention of the local equalities groups becoming outraged at the use of profiling. Because yes, that is exactly what would happen.

Have recommended to BFF.
