I don’t know if the HPL Historical Society’s quite finished with the physical version yet, but the digital version of their latest Dark Adventure Radio Theater play THE TEMPLE is available. Or at least if you pre-ordered. I’m listening to it now, in fact.
Surprises are awesome.
This would be the annual Christmas/Solstice gift exchange between various members of the HPL Historical Society. If you’re a member, check your email for the sign-up link. If you are not a member, consider joining (I have a lifetime membership, myself). The HPLHS makes great Mythos-related props and materials, in a wide range of media. They are eminently worth supporting.
THE TEMPLE. Should be fun.
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.

As it happens, I have a lifetime membership, so time to go take a look… ooh. The illustrated Barangers are finally available in English translation! Let me just pick up his Call of Cthulhu, then. Now I just have to wait until 9 AM for the sale to start.
Sale ends June 24th.
I am a sucker for maps. Always have been. When I was a kid, I’d buy old National Geographics – but only if they came with the maps. So when the HPL Historical Society put up their Gamer Prop Pack of maps, I was instantly sold:
Don’t know what I’m gonna do with them (I am going to do something), but they’re really pretty.
Because the HPL Historical Society knows what makes their target audience fail their save vs. shiny roll: GAMER PROP PACK – MAP COLLECTION. I mean. That thing should come with a warning label.
THE IRON MAIDEN is the HPL Historical Society’s latest Dark Adventure Radio Theater (DART). It’s not based on a Lovecraft story, because they’re out of those; but the good folks of the HPLHS have their little ways to bring something into the Mythos, yes, they do. I’m listening to it right now; the props will come in a few weeks. As always: check it out.
THE IRON MAIDEN isn’t coming out until March 20th, but you can pre-order it now: “Dark Adventure Radio Theatre® presents an adaptation of Prosper Mérimée’s classic weird tale “The Venus of Ille” as a Nate Ward adventure! The story bounds to life with a cast of professional actors, thrilling sound effects and an original orchestral score by Reber Clark.” Looking forward to it!
Note: the cover found on the website is temporary concept art, not the final product.
This is the English edition of the French book illustrated by Francois Baranger. It is beautiful, it is haunting, and it is rather large. The illustrated THE DUNWICH HORROR is a coffee table book, for an appropriately esoteric value of ‘coffee table,’ and the large size definitely lets you appreciate the detail and flow of the illustrations. 10/10, will be getting the other books Baranger has done.
No Amazon link: you should pick this one up at the HPLHS Store.
