Deep dives
Background on Philip Gibson and Robert Blake
Philip Gibson, an occultist and descendant of the leader of the Church of Story Wisdom, was working with Robert Blake, an anti-fascist journalist. It is believed that Gibson may have taken possession of Blake's notebook before his disappearance in 2010.
The Significance of the Marston House
The Marston House, where a family was murdered in 1935, holds mythical and folkloric importance. Occult practices were conducted there by the Church of Story Wisdom, and Philip Gibson, a descendant of the church's leader, was aware of its significance. The house is connected to a demonic entity that may have been contacted during the Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980.
Exploring the Blake House
A modern structure built by Jonathan Blake, architect and son of Robert Blake, the Blake House holds clues about the missing notebook. During the exploration, eerie phenomena and strange occurrences suggest a liminal space or supernatural presence. Despite searching, the notebook is not found.
Could a murder at the Marston House in 1935 have connections to the mysterious disappearances at the Blake House in 2010? How does Philip Gibson fit in? And why do so many roads seem to lead back to Joseph Curwen? More questions than answers as Kennedy and Byron move from Essex to Suffolk.
Three years on from The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Heawood's disappearance at Pleasant Green, the Lovecraft Investigations are back and podcaster Kennedy Fisher is following new clues in Julian Simpson’s H P Lovecraft-inspired universe.
