≈ Comments Off on Cyaegha
Added to the Lovecraft on the Web directory… the Lovecraftian zine Cyaegha. Sadly the format is an old school print-sniffer’s limited edition print chapbook, several of which are marked “SOLD OUT” /sigh/. But the contents look quite fabulous.

Interesting news from S.T. Joshi, in his latest blog post, on a definitive Lovecraft ‘starter’ bibliography…
“I have been asked by Oxford University Press to prepare a bibliography of Lovecraft for some online venue. The idea is to present a list of the most important works by and about Lovecraft, with an emphasis on scholarly books and articles on all aspects of Lovecraft’s life, work, and thought. The bibliography will be continually updated. I have already prepared a rough draft of the work and hope to send it to the publisher well in advance of the due date of December 31.”

≈ Comments Off on Jersey Devil Press special “Lovecraft like Gaiman” issue
The Jersey Devil Press is doing a Lovecraft mash-ups issue…
“inspired by Gaiman stories like “A Study in Emerald” and “I Cthulhu” we’re looking for something special… a mash-up of one literary style or theme with ol’ Howard Phillips to create something new, ideally something dark and ferocious, very possibly with a healthy dose of humor. In short, write Lovecraft like Neil Gaiman!”
Deadline: 1st May 2013.
