Tesla vs Lovecraft: Big Fish.
ZAM: Conarium is lore-heavy Lovecraft:
If Conarium can claim anything, it can claim that it’s accurate to the HP Lovecraft Experience. It’s got accurate Elder Things! References to mythology and the occult! Language patterns and foibles drawn precisely from HP Lovecraft’s writing style! A protagonist who exclaims hopeless statements of despair to himself between questions in a conversation with a messed-up robot which believes it’s a human!
The website for this upcoming horror adventure game from Zoetrope can be found here.
Vulture has a list of eight new books “you need to read” this month, and (inevitably) The Night Ocean by Paul La Farge is included. The thing is also on a BBC list of ten books “you should read,” and a Chicago Review of Books list of ten “best new books to read.” There are more links at La Farge’s website. The book seems to be based on the slanderous nonsense that Lovecraft and R. H. Barlow had a gay love affair when Barlow was a teenager (during Lovecraft’s visits to Florida in the 1930s), so the less said about this the better.
