The German Lovecraftians have a “new newsletter format” for members under the title Lovecraft Lore… “In which we send daily emails about events in H.P. Lovecraft’s stories.”

That sounds interesting. I guess one could now have an AI extract any ‘date like strings’ from within the Lovecraft fiction corpus, covert them to a consistent date format and then sort them into a per-month year list. And alongside each, the story title and a snippet of the original context. The Python-based open source datefinder looks like it’s half way towards that.

The booklet The Chronology Out of Time (1986) made a first try at a simple megalist of dates in Lovecraft’s fiction. But it is now well out-of-print, and not on Archive.org. Perhaps time for a new AI-assisted expanded edition?
