Lovecraft Anthology 2

31 Tuesday Jan 2012

Here’s a peek at the cover of The Lovecraft Anthology Vol.2. It’s a 128-page anthology of comic book adaptations, edited by Dan Lockwood and due from Self Made Hero in March 2012. Judging by the choice of cover illustration (it seems brave of Self Made, not to put tentacles on the cover) we get a comics adaptation of “The Terrible Old Man”. Also…

Pat Mills and Attila Futaki (“The Nameless City”), Ben Dickson and Mick McMahon (“The Picture in the House”), Jamie Delano and Steve Pugh (“Pickman’s Model”).

The Undead: Life Science and Pulp Fiction – proceedings now online

The archive of the Die Untonen [The Undead]: Life Science and Pulp Fiction symposium proceedings are now online, for free. The event was held in Hamburg, Germany (12-14th May 2011) and was an interesting mashup of academic talks, science, art, workshops and performances…

“A unique interdisciplinary meeting of experts from the biotechnology, medical professionals, bioethicists, philosophers, theologians, legal jurists, health workers, artists, film and media makers and pop icons. The visitors and experts come together in unexpected combinations and on various issues in rooms that modeled after film sets (Hospital, Cemetery, Laboratory and Cinema – and so typical places of production and negotiation of the “undead”). The visitors can move freely through the entire setting at any time. All conversations, lectures, presentations, performances and experiments are recorded and broadcast live, so that the recipient can independently of their position in a set of infrared receivers and headphones to listen to every situation.”

Here’s one that might interest connoisseurs of Lovecraft’s poetry. A 1977 first-edition Lovecraft poetry collection, with what’s said to be an extensive introduction. On eBay now.

Dagon, a stage play in three acts

Sean Hartter takes a different angle on the Lovecraft graphic remix meme, by re-imagining Lovecraft as a playwright — who had his plays published in vintage paperback form in the 1960s…

Hartter’s blog has a lot of similar faux re-imaginings.

Dumb Google

While Google chases an anti-trust suit with Google+, search doesn’t seem to be getting better. Even with personalisation turned on, and my heavy record of years of searching for Lovecraft items, my top ten results for “Lovecraft” include links to: a craft shop in the UK; and sex shop in Totonto.

Nice concept. WistRec‘s “sound report” (soundtrack) is specially designed for listening while reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space”, in the form of a 3″ CD and a printed booklet of the story. Limited to 100 copies. WistRec is a niche Irish label.

Sandro D. Fossemo. “Cosmic terror from Poe to Lovecraft: the fear of unknown from the abyss of the soul to cosmic chaos“. (Seems to have been published online Dec 2010. No traces found suggesting it has been made available other than online).

Astrowright muses today on what Lovecraft got right from the perspective on xenoarchaeology (the scientific imagining of the archaeological discovery of physical remains of alien civilisations).

Footnotes for WordPress

A nice new footnotes plugin for WordPress, which may be of interest to blogging Lovecraft scholars. It uses simple square brackets, which must have a number at the start of them. It accepts HTML links inside the brackets. I’d love to see this plugin come as standard with the free WordPress.com -hosted blogs…

To have the smaller font size on the footnotes, paste this CSS into your theme’s styles CSS, probably at the foot of the font section. The plugin doesn’t add this CSS automatically.

A super new digital painting by Thomas Debitus…

See it full-size here. Looks as though it could be fairly easily expanded to the right, to make it the right size for a book cover.
