Tweet of the Day, This Is What Money Being Left On The Table Looks Like edition.

These would sell. These would absolutely sell. And the Lovecraft stories are public domain! It could be done. It could be done.

Book of the Week: At the Mountains of Madness Vol 1.

This is the illustrated Francois Baranger At the Mountains of Madness, and the only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I am trying to keep a reasonably up-to-date wish list for friends and family members trying to figure out what to get me. That can be a problem, especially when you have odd tastes. The more information, the better.

…Which is the opposite of the received wisdom of the Cthulhu Mythos, huh?

@HPLHS’s THE CALL OF CTHULHU and THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS now available on Tubi for free.

I’ve been meaning to mention this for a bit. THE CALL OF CTHULHU / THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS are the HPL Historical Society’s forays into filmmaking, and both are excellent reproductions of Lovecraft’s stories (people seem to like the first one better*, but I enjoy them both). Tubi has them up for free, but you’ll have to deal with ads. Such is life.

Lovecraft class, stopped hubris, and book revisions, oh my!

About a third through the latter, which should be enough to send to the editor, let her get started. The former was an informative look at various stories; it also was an opportunity for Ken Hite to convince me that there was not a living human capable of properly finishing THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD, which means that he did his part for Western Civilization this day. If not just the entirety of humanity.

Early night for me, though. I am very tired, and my brain is full.

The @HPLHS is doing a BOGO sale on E-DARTs for HPL’s birthday.

Yeah, that’s a lot of acronyms. Unpacked: the HP Lovecraft Historical Society is doing a buy-one, get-one free sale on the electronic versions of its Dark Adventure Radio Theater shows. This is a good deal, even if I’m not going to do it: I already have them all (well, except for Masks of Nylarathotep, because if I had $250 to spare I’d spend it on publishing more short stories) in physical form, complete with the binders and everything. But if you just want the DARTs and don’t care about the props, this is an excellent deal. They’re very good radio plays.

The GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES Trailer Teaser.


Word on the street is that a couple of the Cabinet of Curiosities are Lovecraft adaptations. Also note: Guillermo del Toro isn’t directing these himself, but that’s okay. Supposedly, ‘Dreams in the Witch House’ is one of the two Lovecraft works, and I’m happy to see that story get done with a decent budget.

PS: Of course I want to see del Toro do IN THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, instead. I also want world peace, an excellent working relationship with a reputable literary advertising agency, and a pony. I’m just managing my expectations.

The HPL Historical Society fundraiser was successful! …Also, their account was hacked and @TwitterSupport is being useless.

Oh, hi, Twitter Support! Note that your website is still calling mine dangerous. Why are you doing that? How the heck do you expect to keep getting away with this level of not-talking-to-people when you finally monetize your subscribers? Is this really what y’all wanted to do with your lives?

…Anyway: the HPL Historical Society had a fundraiser to help buy up a bunch of Lovecraft’s letters and donate them to Brown University’s existing HPL collection. They have succeeded. This, at least, is good news.

Alan Moore’s PROVIDENCE Compendium to be reissued (already got mine).

(Via Facebook) Come, I will conceal nothing from you: I did not rush here to reveal the news that Alan Moore is rereleasing his epic PROVIDENCE Lovecraftian comic series. Nope. First I went and pre-ordered a copy, because the Damned Thing sells at mildly obscene prices and I suspect they’re gonna sell out this print run pretty fast. But, now that I’ve confirmed that I pre-ordered it, I can safely let everybody else know.

Sorry not-sorry about that.

Tweet of the Day, NICK CAGE WILL BE DOING A COLOUR OUT OF SPACE MOVIE edition.

This is exactly the kind of news that makes up for today’s disastrous license renewal debacle*.
