Has there ever been any talk of adapting Sewer, Gas and Electric? It would be difficult to adapt, but could make a crazy fun limited series.
Matt Ruff
Sewer, Gas & Electric actually was adapted – as a German-language radio play – by the public broadcasting company Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln. This was back in the year 2000. Since I don’t speak German, I can’t judge how good or faithful an adaptation it was – nor do I know whether there’s any way to listen to it now – but I think it’s very cool that it existed.
More recently, but still a few years ago, I did have a conversation with a TV producer who was interested in adapting Sewer, Gas as a limited series. Nothing further came of that, but in the wake of the Lovecraft Country series, who knows? It could still happen.

Your book uses the Lovecraft mythos, but veers far from the tone of Lovecraft. Was that a conscious decision?
