Chris Perridas notes that old copies of the Providence Evening Tribune newspaper are now available on the Google News historical archives. There are some gaps, such as the whole of Dec 1907 – Jan 1908, presumably where issues never survived for modern scanning.

Baxter’s Xeelee series – the chronological reading order

13 Saturday Nov 2010

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Unnamable

≈ 2 Comments

I’m still waiting for Joshi’s complete Lovecraft biography to find its way across the Atlantic, and in the meantime I’m getting ready to tackle Stephen Baxter’s immense Xeelee series of SF books and stories. For those, like me, who like the idea of reading these works in chronological order, Baxter has a chronology of all the Xeelee stories / novels (to 2009) on his official website, although it’s not easy to find via a Google search. It does seem to contain plot spoilers. So, below is my version of his chronological list of novels/stories without the plot spoilers, and all short stories and novelettes have their parent book noted in brackets. They’re spread across 12 print books, three of which are anthologies that contain other authors.

Note that Ring, Timelike Infinity, Transcendent, and Mayflower II appear several times in Baxter’s list — this seems to indicate that they straddle a long time-period? Presumably an intelligent reader will realise when to make the switch. I have starred * these overlapping texts when they make a second appearance in the list below.

Xeelee series, chronological reading order:

Coalescent (book one of Destiny’s Children – only tangentially related to the rest of the timeline)

Lovecraft on BBC Radio 3

BBC Radio 3’s Art and Ideas podcast has a short look at H.P. Lovecraft (25th Oct 2010). It’s the BBC, so their ridiculous “Brits-only” policy might kick in when you try to download the MP3 from outside the UK.

BBC Radio does the first Lovecraft adaptation

07 Sunday Nov 2010

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Lovecraftian arts

≈ Leave a comment

BBC Radio has done what appears to be its first substantial Lovecraft reading (with excellent new original music, and radio-report FX). Let’s hope they’re now inspired to do their first full-cast adaptation, since I’m pretty sure that the BBC has never undertaken one for Lovecraft.

The serialised reading is of At The Mountains of Madness. Currently available on the ridiculously time-limited and UK-only ‘Listen Again’ online service, or freely available in MP3 form from a torrent near you.
