In the public domain in 2023

A quick look at what’s coming in 1923 in terms of the public domain. Not a great year, but there are items that may interest. Some of the non-fiction could become the basis for graphic novels, and some of the fiction could be plot-lifted into new science-fiction etc.


Published 1927 in the U.S.:

William Delbert Gann, The Tunnel Thru the Air (air war in the future, amazing inventions).

Presumably Weird Tales for 1927, if it isn’t already.


Films of 1927:

The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (early Hitchcock).

The Unknown (cult horror).

Various comedy shorts, and some say early Laurel & Hardy.


Author who died in 1952:

Arthur Leeds, Lovecraft’s friend and writer, with S.T. Joshi having “1952?”. Death date somewhat uncertain.

Eric Taylor, American crime writer for the 1930s pulps, later a screenwriter.

Fulton Oursler, popular British murder-mystery writer, father of writer Will Oursler.

John Morgan Walsh, prolific mystery novelist.

Bertram Atkey, British mystery-thrillers, recurring rascally gent character Smiler Bunn.

Laurence Dwight Smith, 1930s G-Men crime novels, also Cryptography: The Science Of Secret Writing, and Counterfeiting: Crime Against The People.

Jeffrey Farnol, prolific writer of mystery novels and more. The Loring Mystery was filmed in 1964.

Marjorie Bowen, very prolific British historical-romantic novelist. Some supernatural ‘twilight tales’ among her vast output. Some royal histories, and a 1936 non-fiction book on William Hogarth and Hogarthian London. Edited two horror anthologies?

Major General John Hay Beith, leading Edwardian playwright as ‘Ian Hay’, later worked with Hitchcock on films. Some mystery novels, some farcical comedy. The Great Wall of India is a travel book, across India in the late 1920s/early 30s. Also The King’s Service: History Of The British Infantry Soldier, and The British Infantryman: An Informal History.

John Vinycomb, Fictitious And Symbolic Creatures In Art.

Norman Douglas, Birds & Beasts Of The Greek Anthology, The Norman Douglas Limerick Book.

Jimmy Bancks, Australian cartoonist and nonsense poet.

Margaret Wise Brown, prolific writer of nursery books for young children. Mostly animal stories.

Charles Stuart Baybe, Exploring England: An Introduction To Nature-Craft.

Sven Hedin, explorer and writer, Riddles Of The Gobi Desert, The Silkroad, and many others.

Arthur Shearly Cripps, various South African novels and stories. Possible ‘big country’ adventure novels.

Edwin L. Sabin, a historian of the American West, wrote short stories and novels for boys about the American West (e.g. With George Washington Into The Wilderness). At least one story in Weird Tales. 1902 book of stories about golf, including one fantasy of a “golf ball which reacts to the emotions of players”.

Alexander Hamilton Thompson, wrote a biography of Bede.

Samuel Ogden Andrew, trans. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 1929.

Harold John Massingham, Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum: The Giants In England.

Sir George MacMunn, Rudyard Kipling, Craftsman.

Henry Winram Dickinson, many biographies of men of the early Industrial Revolution.

Major Desmond Chapman-Huston, Bavarian Fantasy: The Story Of Ludwig II (mad king), among others.

George Parker Winship, Odd Lot Of New England Puritan Personalities.

E.H.W. Meyerstein. British writer. Poetry, a book titled Wade’s Boat (indicating an interest in ancient British tales), some short stories, a life of Chatterton (1930), and a queer London novel published after his death.

Joseph Francis Rinn, American magician most active in the early decades of the 20th century, author of Sixty Years of Psychical Research. Met Lovecraft once.

Sam Henry, “Ulster folklorist and writer”.

Roger Vitrac, “French surrealist playwright and poet”.

Paul Eluard, French poet and author.

Santayana, the philosopher admired by Lovecraft.

Knut Hamsun, Norwegian writer, Nobel Prize for Literature 1920.

Edward Conor Marshall O’Brien, Sea-Boats, Oars and Sails. Still an “excellent book for the knowledgeable boater to better understand the world of design, building and boat operating”.


And finally, the Sherlock Holmes canon is said to be set to fall completely into the public domain as of January 2023. Apparently copyright claims had been holding up a few of the stories.

‘Picture Postals’ from Lovecraft: Brooklyn Botanical Gardens – part one

29 Friday Apr 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Historical context, Picture postals

≈ 2 Comments

This week on ‘Picture Postals’, part one of a look at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. The Japanese Gardens alongside the Brooklyn Museum became one of H.P. Lovecraft’s favourite places in New York City, his…

favourite Japanese garden beside the Brooklyn Museum

One can see the arrangement here. The Museum building is seen at the top of the picture, the run of conservatories are below, and the Japanese ‘hill and pond’ garden sits between them.

Sadly, as you can see, the quality of these pictures is not great. The Museum does have some of its public domain glass-plate pictures online (at rather pointless sizes), but those are only some of the pictures to be seen in old books and journals. But you get the idea from the pictures below.

Inside would be exotic steam-heat, which Lovecraft enjoyed, and which he might have especially welcomed if he had visited on a chilly Christmas / New Year visit. Also to be seen would be strange plants and sinister pods.

Interestingly in the mid 1920s there were film shows there that might have entertained him. This example is from 1923…

So far as I’m aware, however, he does not mention visiting the hothouse after the Japanese Gardens. But it would seem unusual if he had never set foot in the place, when he made many visits to its next-door neighbours. It’s also known that he enjoyed other hothouses on his various antiquarian trips. I’d welcome any references to where he might mention the Brooklyn hothouses.

If they didn’t influence Lovecraft, it seems difficult to imagine them not influencing his good friend and Brooklyn native Frank Belknap Long. In the war years of the 1940s Long produced a series of pulp stories of exotic alien plants which go under the general title of John Carstairs, Curator of the Interplanetary Botanical Gardens.

“I felt obliged to drop a line to the mighty Conan…”

Tentaclii has gone a bit quiet on Robert E. Howard and Conan et al. It’s not because I’ve lost interested, but because the material isn’t there to note. There seems to have been a lack of suitable items recently, other than the new cash-in comics and foreign translations and suchlike so ably tracked by Messages from Crom.

But now the Robert E. Howard Days (aka Howard Days) in Cross Plains, Texas, are just over six weeks away. It may be that various scholarly and thoughtful publications are being timed to appear for that.

In the meantime I see that Exploring the Worlds of REH Omnibus collects Fred Blosser’s themed ebooks (Howard’s Weird Texas, etc) into a single paperback. Along with eight new articles. I see he also has the survey ebooks Sons of Ringo: The Great Spaghetti Western Heroes and More Sons of Ringo.

One item I thought might be of note was Conan the Barbarian Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years – Queen of the Black Coast. This was a chunky Marvel 1970s Buscema/Thomas reprint volume released last Christmas. But be warned that the cover and title is misleading. On reading the details you find this is only the run-up to his meeting Belit the ‘Queen of the Black Coast’ (issues #43-59). Conan meets her in #58 and then #59-to-#100 or thereabouts is the rest of the Belit run, as ably collected in Dark Horse’s earlier reprint book Chronicles of Conan, Volumes 8-12. So, be warned that you’re not getting the run that the new ‘Original Marvel Years’ cover seems to promise.

I took a look to see if I had missed anything else in the last year or so, and noted “Der Barbar aus dem Norden: Nordenbilder in Robert E. Howards Conan-Erzahlungen”, in the journal NORDEUROPAforum, 2020. On ‘images of the ancient North as they appear in R.E. Howard’s Conan’. It may interest some readers here, especially because it’s under full Creative Commons Attribution and is thus available to be translated from the German.

Also there’s now a new and mighty-thewed blog-post category here at Tentaclii, REH. I’ve gone back and retrospectively tagged as many posts as I can find.

Dipping into the tidal-wave…

Eurogamer magazine has a new interview with the maker of one of the best games of 2020, the acclaimed and strongly Lovecraftian Call of the Sea, “Lovecraft, new studios, and the legacy of Myst”…

“It was one of my favourite games of last year. And you’ve just been nominated for a BAFTA…” [British version of the Oscars, which includes games and TV]

There is of course a constant weekly tidal-wave of Lovecraftian games, comics, metal albums, table-top RPGs and suchlike, and Tentaclii can only briefly note the best here. Of which…

* The Sinking City (2019), the big Lovecraftian Innsmouth-alike videogame of 2019, is now said to be back on the retail shelves after a legal dispute.

* Gou Tanabe’s eagerly awaited manga graphic-novel of “The Dunwich Horror” is taking a break from serial publication in Japanese and will be back in July, which will likely put the English edition back by four months or so.

“a mighty slab of stone rests on the forest floor”

This faint similarity may interest some…

The vast oaks grew thicker as he pushed on beyond the village, and he looked sharply for a certain spot where they would thin somewhat, standing quite dead or dying among the unnaturally dense fungi and the rotting mould and mushy logs of their fallen brothers. There he would turn sharply aside, for at that spot a mighty slab of stone rests on the forest floor; and those who have dared approach it say that it bears an iron ring three feet wide.

Strange Roads on Librivox

25 Monday Apr 2022

New on Librivox, an audio reading of Strange Roads by Arthur Machen, read by Ben Tucker.

In 2019 I noted this as…

…his little travel book Strange Roads (1924). A letter to Dwyer shows that Lovecraft also knew this, and considered it a bookend to the autobiographical trilogy” by Machen.

Vaudeville at Keith’s, March 1908

25 Monday Apr 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Historical context

≈ Leave a comment

A sample of the vaudeville programme at Keith’s theatre, March 1908.

Lovecraft fondly recalled, in a letter to Moe, “Keith’s Continuous Vaudeville” and the “new biograph travel films to chase the audiences out of Keith’s at six-o’clock”. He was recalling the years 1900-02 when he was ten to twelve years old. He is known to have visited “the old Keith’s Theatre” c. 1905 to see Houdini. The 1908 date of the above programme may be a bit late, as he would then have been around 17 years old, but the sort of vaudeville programme at Keith’s would not have changed much.

More link fixing after the move

More link-fixing this evening.

For some reason, after the fresh WordPress as first installed, this was fine for getting the PDFs…

/tentaclii/index.php/pdfs/

Now it’s not and it’s just…

/tentaclii/pdfs/

Yet the /index.php/ is needed for the links to the HTML blog post pages. ‘Go figure’, as Americans say.

The other problem is that a direct link to a PDF respects capitalisation. A free WordPress blog forces the filename down to the_cats_of_ulthar_annotated_2019_fontsembedded.pdf in the link and on the server. But a paid hosting server will have it as the original filename of The_Cats_of_Ulthar_annotated_2019_fontsembedded.pdf (note the uppercase) and will thus refuse to serve the PDF. The filenames of all my .PDFs are now lower-cased to match the links.

Anyway, PDFs and freebies links have all been check by hand, again. They should now all be working.

Also, I’ve been able to restore the pictures on my little RPG adventure A pictorial RPG scenario: The Assemblage of Dr. Arnold Astrall.

The sidebar now looks nicer and neater.

I’ve spent a further hour with a regex plugin (search/replace) rooting out any remaining jurn .org links, and as far as I can see they are now fixed and gone.

The PayPal donations link has been restored to the blog’s sidebar.

“The Protoplasmic Imagination: Ernst Haeckel and H.P. Lovecraft”. (“For Haeckel, [protoplasm] was the missing piece in the puzzle that Darwin had almost completed, and with it the whole mystery and wonder of life was within explanatory reach.

Notes on Selected Letters – part one

24 Sunday Apr 2022

Notes on the Selected Letters – part one:

I’ve decided to re-read Lovecraft’s Selected Letters over the summer. Here are my ‘Note on Selected Letters‘ for Volume 1, which I was lucky enough to get in a cheap ex-library copy some years ago. Thanks to my Patreon patrons who made that purchase possible. One of the nice things about such a hardback, compared to the paperback volumes of letters, is that the binding is such that they can lay flat when you open them and lay them on a table or book-stand.

Note that I skimmed and sometimes skipped a few letters from people I already have in their dedicated volumes, such as Moe and Kleiner.

* The planet Venus is noted, along with Develan’s Comet. Page 5.

* Lovecraft is hailed by key members of the audience as a “born public speaker”, after laying aside his script and giving his talk impromptu at the Hub Club. Page 124.

* He saw the movie David Garrick. He mentions the name of the leading man, so we know this was the 1916 version, seen below. Page 127.

* His amateur colleague Jackson kept scrap books of the best of amateur publications, in which Lovecraft found he featured heavily when he was shown them in Boston. I’m not sure if these scrap-books have survived. Page 126.

* In 1921 Lovecraft anticipates “the next war”. Page 160.

* “Don’t complain of the youth’s high-powered motor-car unless you can give him an horse and armour and send him to conquer the domains of the neighbouring kings!” Page 209.

* With his youthful telescope he… “gazed upon the moon’s frightful abysses where no diffusing air softens the nighted blackness of distorted shadows.” and “It has always been my intention to write a set of tales involving other planets”. The latter said in 1923. Page 214.

* He reveals why he ceased publishing his astronomy articles in the local newspaper… “The paper was sold to the Democrats”. Page 214.

* There is a magnificent extended description of a Portsmouth garden, which is almost a prose-poem in itself…

When it is twilight in the worlds, there are heard in that garden the invisible steps of MĀNA-YOOD-SUSHĀI, who is weary of Sardathrion’s gleaming walls and onyx lions, and would gaze softly and gently on that loveliness he hath created in his dreams.

MĀNA-YOOD-SUSHĀI is Dunsany’s ‘Dreamer of All Things’ god. Page 245-46. Lovecraft is writing fan-fiction, in 1923.

* In a 1923 exploration of the front part of Nentaconhant Hill [Neutaconkanut] he notes that at the summit an… “observatory in the Gothick manner, somewhat in disrepair, crowns this majestick acclivity”. Although the lack of any further description of his climbing this tower suggests there may have been no public access. The Rhode Island Historical Preservation 1976 survey listing for Johnson makes no mention of this tower, but this 1926 map shows the “King Observatory” and its location on the hill…

This was Abby A. King’s ‘The King Observatory’, a 60-foot tower “topped by an observation cupola”, though if for night-time astronomy rather than daytime sight-seeing is now uncertain. Perhaps the intent was to allow both. But Rhode Island Historical Notes for 1977 has a footnote, to an article on an early Boy Scouts trip to the hill, that reveals the above map was out of date. Since the tower, it states… “was burned to rubble by vandals in 1925”. This probably suggests that local youths had a clandestine way into the tower, and also suggests a heavy timber frame inside stone facing. Given this the setting thus presumably inspired ‘the tower scene’ in the excellent recent biographical graphic-novel Une nuit avec Lovecraft, although the tower is there imagined as having survived into the 1930s.

Only much later in his life did he discover the little-visited faun-haunted meads and twilit glades at the back of the same hill, then just outside the city boundaries…

* In early 1924 Lovecraft recalls of his earlier self..

In those middle years [after leaving High School I was] practically out of the world until three years ago [i.e. 1921]” … “the poor devil was such a nervous wreck that he hated to speak to any human being, or even to see or be seen by one; and every trip to town was an ordeal.

By “trip to town” he must mean for daytime or evening shopping and suchlike in the central market and business district, or for the Public Library / bookstores, rather than any hypothetical night-walks (he appears to have been largely nocturnal during this period).

* In early 1924 his planned “big novel” Azathoth will be “exotic and highbrow” and “wholly unsuited” to Weird Tales. While his lesser novel for the Weird Tales masses will be a “hideous thing … The House of the Worm“. Neither were written, of course. Page 295.

* There is a useful plain explanation, to a puzzled Frank Belknap Long, of what the submarine city in his “The Temple” is meant to be…

My submarine city is a work of man – a templed and glittering metropolis that once reared its copper domes and colonnades of chrysolite to glowing Atlantean suns. Fair Nordick bearded men dwelt in my city, and spoke a polish’d tongue akin to Greek; and the flame that the Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein beheld was a witch-fire lit by spirits many millennia old.

There are only oblique hints of this in the tale…

1). The reader in the year 1921 is presumably expected to parse several mid-Atlantic locations. The submarine is preying on the “Liverpool-New York” civilian shipping lanes at “N. Latitude 45° 16′, W. Longitude 28° 34′”, something most schoolboys would then be familiar with via their school Atlas, which showed the shipping lanes. Later the submarine drifts well “south” of these shipping lanes, so… she is somewhere north of the Azores and thus outside the well-trafficked routes.

2). As for the underwater city, it is clearly prior to even the earliest Greek art… “impression of terrible antiquity, as though it were the remotest rather than the immediate ancestor of Greek art”. The reader, informed elsewhere by the historical-ethnographic categories known to the early 1920s, must thus deduce that due to its stated age the city was built by a primal unknown ‘Nordic’ culture which only later informed the known historical ‘Mediterranean’ type culture. There was in the 1910s a simplistic ‘Nordic vs. Mediterranean’ argument relating to the wider questions of Indo-European cultural origins and diffusion. Lovecraft is probably assuming that everyone is familiar with these divisions.

3). As for the “witch-light”, the story does offer a… “rhythmic, melodic sound as of some wild yet beautiful chant or choral hymn … vividly aglow with a flickering radiance, as from a mighty altar-flame far within”. Which seems clear enough. But by “witch-light” Lovecraft presumably means ‘a large but somewhat faint flickering radiance’, rather than ‘a light lit by witches’.

4). But that the flickering light (implied flame) has been lit by “spirits” is only meant to be deduced from the general ghostly underwater setting + the immense age of the place. Perhaps also by the carvings on the temple doors “exquisite carvings like the figures of Bacchanals in relief”, which indicates the spirited scene that awaits beyond. I can find no details on ancient temple Bacchanals which indicate that some sort of special large flickering flame was present at the interior aspect of these (the processions are better attested) but perhaps Lovecraft knew differently and expected others to know it too.
