The Miskatonic Missives: The Letters of H.P. Lovecraft Kickstarter is a HPL Historical Society project, so that’s promising. What they did in each Missive was take one of HPL’s letters and annotate the heck out of it, with explanations of the cultural references; they also added original artwork and fiction, plus the trademark props that makes HPLHS’s stuff so much fun. The Missives look gorgeous and I wish I could afford the full set of three. I may yet talk myself into getting it.

Possible snippet, DEATH SENDS A PACKAGE.
I came across this in my files, and I’m half-tempted to do the whole thing, because I read the reminder I wrote of whodunit and it made me laugh.

Because I need to get out of the black mood I’m in.

Patreon Microfiction: The Actual Magery Involves Slide Rules.
The oddity of ‘The Actual Magery Involves Slide Rules’ is, I don’t know who are the better guys. I mean, ‘cultist’ is diagnostic – but so is ‘deliberately setting people up for fatal radiation poisoning.’ That’s not exactly nice.
Book of the Week: Decisions: Four Tales of Choices.
Writer Moe Lane has warned – or maybe promised? – that Decisions: Four Tales of Choices will be the last self-published fiction of his in 2021. It’s made up of four stories, each illustrated with its own image drawn specifically for the story. Also not entirely horror, unlike his previous two chapbooks. Check it out!
10/07/21 Snippet, THE JOB’S THE JOB.
I finally figured out what’s happening! That’s always nice to know.

Nothing confirmed yet, but it’d be in early November. I should have enough stock on hand to handle signing for MORGAN BAROD (and maybe FROZEN DREAMS), but I’ll know more when I talk to the store owner. Actually, I have no idea how any of this works. …Guess I’ll learn!
Been looking for Book Fairs/conventions in MD to vend in.
Slightly slow going, alas: I don’t want to drive three hours, and I definitely don’t want to spend two hundred bucks on a table when I’m not going to make that money back. If people know of reasonably-price book fairs in Maryland, feel free to let me know. I’ll also happily participate in book signings at local bookstores! Aside from the sales, it’ll help get my name out.
