Director Huan Vu’s movie Die Farbe (2010, based on “The Color Out Of Space”) was well reviewed. Now he’s back, with The Dreamlands. The new movie will be freely adapted from Lovecraft’s various Dreamlands stories. Here’s a teaser video, which appears to be inspired by “The Strange High House in the Mist”, but perhaps with a slight touch of the studio from “Pickman’s Model” (Pickman, you’ll remember, later becomes a ghoul in the Dreamlands)…

A million medium-res scans of 19th century pictures, from the British Library. Too fuzzy and small for print, but fine for perking up your blog posts…

The Village Green and Other Pieces by Edith Miniter

A new collection of work by Lovecraft’s friend and amateur press associate Mrs Miniter, The Village Green and Other Pieces by Edith Miniter…

“… editors Faig and Donnelly renew their determination to establish Mrs. Miniter in her rightful place as a New England Regionalist. Three unfinished novels form the core of this volume, together with numerous short stories. Two unusual items round out the collection: “A Rearward Glance,” an autobiographical summary of a life in amateur journalism; and “How to Dress on $40 a Year,” a humorous piece displaying Miniter’s characteristic wit.”
