Lovecraft stuff, week 17, 2017: Lots of books and an Alien statue

Lots of new upcoming stuff from Hippocampus Press, including H. P. Lovecraft: Letters to C. L. Moore and Others, Collected Fiction Volume 4 (Revisions and Collaborations): A Variorum Edition, Lovecraftian Proceedings No. 2, Lovecraftian Voyages by Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., and Dawnward Spire, Lonely Hill: The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith.

The latest from S. T. Joshi includes his appearance in Alan Moore’s Providence.

A recent interview with W. H. Pugmire can be found on this Danish blog. The introduction to the interview is in Danish, but the interview itself is in English. It’s called “Digteren der gik i Lovecrafts fodspor” (which I would translate to, “The poet who walked in Lovecraft’s footsteps”).

Top-down shooter Tesla vs Lovecraft is now on Steam Greenlight, trailer here, press release here.

And here’s a teaser for Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure.

Bleeding Cool: Caliber Comics is launching five more graphic novels in July, among them H.P. Lovecraft’s Worlds – Volume One:

A chilling collection of four Lovecraft tales adapted by award winning comic writer Steven Philip Jones. Lovecraft, to this day, is considered one of America’s most innovative and popular horror writers. Jones takes his classic tales and, while remaining true to the source, brings them into the modern age which can sometimes make the horror even more terrifying. These tales are illustrated by Octavio Cariello.

ScreenAnarchy has an interview with Julien Jauniaux about his short film “An Eldritch Place.”

If you have $450 to spare, you can get this Giger-inspired limited edition Internecivus raptus Alien statue from Sideshow Collectibles:

And here’s Film School Rejects, exploring the art of H.R. Giger. Another celebration of Alien Day (which was April 26) comes from Den of Geek.

PlayingBoardGames play Arkham Horror: The Card Game here, here, and here, and Eldritch Horror here.

And here’s a live playthrough of Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu, courtesy of Rob Oren from the Dice Tower.

Reviews from R’lyeh looks at issue 1 of the From the Shroud fanzine.

Bagthulhu, the “diabolically adorable Cthulhu dicebag,” is now on Kickstarter.

Also on Kickstarter, Sweet Dreams Cthulhu: A Lovecraftian Bedtime Board Book, from the people behind C Is for Cthulhu.

Unspeakable: Sigil & Sign is a Cthulhu Mythos role-playing game from Cubicle 7 and Make Believe Games in which the players are cultists instead of the usual investigators:

Unspeakable: Sigil & Sign is a roleplaying game that challenges some of the more traditional conventions of the hobby. In this RPG you assume the role of the cultist, servant, cast-off, or misbegotten child of the Old Ones. In this game you are of the Mythos.

In Sigil & Sign, you are not the all-too-ordinary human. You are the Outsider.

The cover and the table of contents have been released for Arkham Detective Agency by editor Brian M. Sammons, to be published by Dark Regions Press as part of their Cthulhu Mythos campaign on Kickstarter that should start later today. Here are some comments by Josh Reynolds about his contribution to this anthology.

Broken Eye Books is looking for submissions to their Welcome to Miskatonic University anthology, which will be out in fall this year:

We want weird fiction set in a modern-day Miskatonic University. Stories should be set within or be inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos. We want to see the Mythos continue to grow and evolve, to expand as a shared literary world and not be tied to outdated and limiting sensibilities. We are not interested in stories with bigoted views on race and gender.

In other words, this is for those people (all four or five of you) who have enjoyed the barrage of anti-Lovecraft SJW books that have come out lately. (Via DarkMarkets.com.)

Finally, Lovecraft makes an appearance on Articulate with Jim Cotter on PBS: “For generations, the early 20th century American writer H.P. Lovecraft has been terrifying readers. We find out how.”

As was only to be expected, the segment, despite how brief it is, makes a big deal about Lovecraft’s racism, and features an interview with some English professor – so you know what you’re in for.
