Neil Gaiman’s A Study in Emerald. Lovecraft Meets Sherlock Holmes. Yes.

I’ve been talking about this story to anyone who might have any interest at all in it over the past few weeks. That’s a much smaller circle than I’d like it to be, but what can I tell you. not everyone is a nut for Holmes, Gaiman’s writing and Lovecraft’s dark universe like I am.

Anyway, I just found out there’s a PDF available of the story available from Gaiman’s site. So now I can share my geeked out enjoyment of this story with the whole Internet. That expands the circle of people who might care significantly.

It lives on Neil Gaiman’s Short Stories page and is available as a PDF- A Study in Emerald.

Check it out, and if you like it, buy a volume or ten of Sandman or one of his proper novels the next time you’re in a place with words for sale.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish Men

Get in the Christmas spirit HP Lovecraft style :)

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men

Based on the classic:

The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft

A little bit of Lovecraft, no?

Dagon: Not much worth mentioning. It was “Okay.”

Cthulhu for President

The Home Page for Evil
“Cthulhu for President. Why vote for a lesser evil?
This site is dedicated to the great old one, who should return from his slumber to take over the U.S. government and make this country a whole hell of a lot better as the leader of our executive branch. Or destroy it and drive everyone insane, kill us all, or something really nasty! Remember, Cthulhu for President, why vote for the lesser of two evils? “

Books #3

The Doom That Came to Sarnath. another collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories. This collection is basically the literary equivalent of Lovecraft B-Sides- good stuff that’s especially interesting if you’re a fan. It just doesn’t compare to his “main” body of work.

Sweet!

I am Great Cthulhu!

“And for them shall be set the greatest of the Star-Spawned, and he shall be their Priest!” or so it is written in the Grimiore Helesh Nasheed. The being known as Great Cthulhu is the intermediary between the aspirant and the other great powers. He is envisioned as a towering giant with an eight-tentacled face. His prodigious corpus is shrouded in wicked shadows cast by his chiropteran wings. We believe he rests dreaming beneath this world’s oceans emitting dreams to his chosen. The time of his awakening is known.

Which Great Old One are you?
