S.T. Joshi’s blog has updated. He notes the passing of Richard L. Tierney, who first revealed the Derleth mythos to the world…
Tierney initiated a revolution in Lovecraft studies with an essay, “The Derleth Mythos,” that occupied exactly one page in the impressive anthology HPL, edited by Meade and Penny Frierson (1972). This article exposed the egregious misinterpretations of Lovecraft’s mythos perpetrated by August Derleth.
Among many current projects noted by Joshi…
a documentary on Lovecraft for ITV, the independent television station in England” and the musical “My Songs from Lovecraft and Others [is set] to appear (with accompanying CD) from Hippocampus Press later this year.
The documentary is being filmed with Joshi in Providence. ITV is a major name in British TV production, and has historically tended to skew more toward the mass-market end of TV viewership. Though (not having had a TV for three decades now) I don’t know if that skew continues. I’d imagine the natural broadcast slot would be just before Halloween 2022.
