Summer of Lovecraft

18 Tuesday Jul 2023

The German city of Hamburg appears to be enjoying a “Summer of Lovecraft”. With at least three outdoor theatre productions in the city’s main park. Stagings of “Innsmouth”, “Dagon”, which have seemingly already happened. And now a possibly localised or new “The Horror of Hamburg”. This latter being a promenade “theatrical walk through Hamburg’s city park”, with an appearance by HPL himself…

An eerie theatre walk through undiscovered corners of the park. Actors stand at special places in the park, presenting particularly famous Lovecraft stories as monologues, while the master personally provides clarifications and biographical facts.

10 performances across 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th July, free admission.

Miscellaneous Writings

New on Archive.org to borrow, Miscellaneous Writings. Most will have access to this material elsewhere. But some may want to look up old ‘page-number references’, found in scholarly writing on Lovecraft, that they have been unable to check due to lack of access.

Talking of once-obscure items, S.T. Joshi brings news of a “major auction of books and other matter devoted to the field of weird fiction”, set for Halloween 2023 at Bonhams in Boston. Sounds like the plot of a Mythos story, already. What may interest readers of Tentaclii is that Bonhams are still seeking consignments of quality/rare eldritch items for the auction. In that regard, don’t forget there’s also PulpFest 2023 in August.

Joshi’s latest blog post also spots a late ‘Lovecraft as character’ appearance, at the end of the movie Incident in a Ghostland (2018), and he useful identifies the actor.

Out Of Mind (1998)

New to me, the well-made film Out Of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft (1998), now in full on YouTube at 720px…

Made for Canadian television in 1998, the film offers an encounter with Lovecraft and enters into his world. Engaging in a kind of ‘game’ around the writer, the film playfully winks at some of the themes characteristic of his work: the occult, cursed books, monstrous creatures. Out of Mind draws its inspiration from Lovecraft’s personal correspondence and many of his stories, carrying the viewer through a labyrinth ‘beyond the wall of sleep’.

Also to be had on Archive.org. As well as being a 57 minute TV movie it was also released on VHS tape, but Amazon UK knows nothing of it.

Malign Providence

News to me, Malign Providence (2022), a new Centipede Press book offering a “collection of stories by Jonathan Thomas”…

sixteen tales that depict a time and place from our recent past that is at once familiar yet distorted through Thomas’ cosmic horror lens. His Providence isn’t just that of Lovecraft’s home, but of his own brand of mythos [and the] creatures of Lovecraft’s most revered work are only present in whispers and rumblings.

Has titles such as “King of Cat Swamp”, although I’m uncertain if Lovecraft himself puts it some sort of appearance. Yet I know that Jonathan Thomas has written at least one story in which (it is said) the shade of Lovecraft rises to revisit modern Providence. Thus this book seems close enough for me to use the “Lovecraft as character” tag for the blog post.

Unfortunately for those wanting a copy, the 500-copy edition has sold out.

Forthcoming: Midnight Rambles: H.P. Lovecraft in Gotham

≈ Leave a comment

David J. Goodwin’s ‘Lovecraft in New York’ book has a title and a date. According to Amazon UK, Midnight Rambles: H.P. Lovecraft in Gotham will appear in Kindle and hardback on 7th November 2023, and is billed as a 272-page…

chronological micro-biography of Lovecraft’s New York years emphasizing Lovecraft’s exploration of the city environment, the greater metropolitan region, and other locales and how they molded him as a writer and as an individual.

I’ll no doubt be reviewing it when I get a copy, probably in the company of the other 2023-expected book on Lovecraft in Florida.

Also of possible interest, and to be published in the same month, A Lovecraftian Biography of H.P. Lovecraft by Osvaldo Felipe Amorarte. Billed as biography of “Lovecraft’s private life and, using his own writing style and atmosphere” to convey his “relationships, illnesses, disillusions and his own fear of the unknown”. Although it looks like it might be a work assisted by a ChatGTP-type AI re-writer, judging by the descriptions of the author’s previous books.

Still, it’s an interesting idea. Tell of Lovecraft’s life, with factual accuracy, but in a series of linked stories written in his own style. Writing convincingly with Lovecraft’s style and language is easier said than done, of course. But who knows what style-morphing wonders AIs may yet unfold?

“Lovecraft, mon amour” – three shows for 2023

≈ Leave a comment

Three performances of the stage play “Lovecraft, mon amour”, in the French city of Lyon. 28th – 29th April 2023.

A fantastic theatrical and musical biopic, which immerses us musically in America from the 1920s to 1947. The play begins in 1947, Sonia has just learned of the death of Lovecraft, ten years after his death. This news upsets her and provokes a torrent of memories. But she begins to have the strange impression that Howard is actually there with her. As they move from confidence to confidence, these two characters reconstruct the course of their thwarted, extraordinary, overwhelming love… Will Sonia recognise Howard? Is love stronger than death?

“Of his madness many things are told…”

A new consideration of Lovecraft’s own “psychopathologie” and also a survey of “the various diagnoses that have been issued” for him posthumously. Regrettably the new article in the journal L’Evolution Psychiatrique is both in French and behind a paywall. But there’s a generous sampling for free and in HTML, which means Google Translate can be used. The author concludes that not only did Lovecraft keep madness at bay by writing it out in various ways…

Writing is for him an addictive, continuous, protective and necessary exercise: he never stops writing.

But that he also embarked on…

an extraordinary journey of self-therapy

New book: El Asesinato de Robert Barlow

29 Saturday Oct 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Lovecraft as character, Lovecraftian arts, New books

≈ Leave a comment

A new novel about Lovecraft’s friend Robert Barlow, El Asesinato de Robert Barlow (The Assassination of Robert Barlow, 2022), by Veronica Evers and available now in Spanish. It appears to be a murder-mystery police-procedural novel, set in the 1950s or perhaps into the early 60s in Mexico. A Lovecraftian homage, apparently. My translation and digest of the blurb…

Some years after Robert Barlow’s death, the historian Galo finds an unknown manuscript. It is a prequel to “The Call of Cthulhu”. This, he thinks, contains hidden keys relating to Cthulhu. Simultaneously, there is another and related mysterious death. Detective Acosta will not leave the cases unsolved, and he uncovers a whirlwind of old stories and unknown parts of Barlow’s life. He even has talks with William Burroughs and other beatniks, and discovers that his crumbling old Mexico City harbours some very dark places…

I can’t find out much more about it, and the dates are a little uncertain (Burroughs was in Mexico City in the early 1950s for five years, I recall, and so the tale may stretch into the early 1960s if the detective is pursuing the trail some years later?). There’s a YouTube recording of the author at a literary festival, though that may just be a reading rather than a Q&A. YouTube can offer no transcript to translate.

Apparently the “old Mexico City” was very different from the “new Mexico City”, and the author tries to evoke the latter. So I assume a lot of vintage local colour is involved, and I’d guess the author is also a knowledgeable citizen of the city. Level of gay content, and the angle it take on that… unknown. But it’s not being tagged as a gay novel.

No sign that Lovecraft appears in the book as a character, though if I was writing such a novel I’d at least have a cameo. Perhaps via a letter between Barlow and Burroughs that recalled the Lovecraft he had known.

New book: The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence

15 Saturday Oct 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Lovecraft as character, Lovecraftian arts, New books

≈ Leave a comment

A new review by Arciapod of the graphic novel The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence (2022), albeit reviewed from one of those annoying highly-compressed…

free preliminary, and likely unedited copy of this book

…of the sort that gets sent out for a graphic-novel review.

But his review usefully reveals that…

One’s enjoyment of this book is directly proportional to how much somebody likes or knows about H.P. Lovecraft. … people familiar with his works will get a far better appreciation for this story than others, and honestly without knowing a bit about him, the finer points of this may fly right over their heads.

Sounds good. Warning: the review has some big spoilers. The Arciapod review has only just been published, but it turns out the book has actually been out since June 2022. I had noticed it in passing, but until now had not heard about the direct Lovecraft connection.

Now… a while back Tentaclii noted the similar-looking ‘A Bestiary of the Twilight’ (Le Bestiaire du Crepuscule, June 2022), a French ‘BD’ (i.e. oversized graphic novel, often in hardcover) also featuring Lovecraft as a character. The French Lovecraftians had mentioned it, and I assumed it had not yet been translated.

Yet I now see that this ‘BD’ has the same 120 page-count as Mr. Providence, and has the same Parisian artist/writer in Daria Schmitt. A little digging finds European comics sources noting the name change. Yes, Le Bestiaire du Crepuscule has been re-titled as The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence for the English edition, and since summer 2022 can now be enjoyed by English readers.

Only as an ebook, admittedly, but at a very reasonable price (probably around $5, for U.S. readers). If you want the dead-tree version it seems you’d have to get the French ‘BD’ and a phrasebook.


The news of this prompted me to see if there was an ebook of the graphic novel biography Some Notes on a Nonentity: The Life of H.P. Lovecraft. No, still just an out-of-print 2017 hardback.

Another Lovecraft-as-character story

20 Tuesday Sep 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in de Camp, Lovecraft as character

≈ Leave a comment

While searching for an audio reading of de Camp’s 1938 non-fiction “Language for Time Travelers” (there doesn’t appear to be one), I discovered another Lovecraft-as-character story. In the 2005 collection Years in the Making: The Time-Travel Stories of L. Sprague de Camp, there is the story “Balsamo’s Mirror” (1976), which has Lovecraft as a very recognisable though un-named character.

In this 1930s tale an MIT university undergraduate named Willy and his friend Lovecraft wax lyrical about the virtues of the 18th century.

He [Lovecraft] wanted America to rejoin the British Empire; I was for splendid isolation. We argued history. He was devoted to the eighteenth century; I thought that men wearing wigs over good heads of hair looked silly.

They get lost in some dark back-alleys along Providence’s waterfront and thereby encounter the curious storefront of a Madame Nosi, mystic. The impoverished Lovecraft is reluctant to enter, but the affluent Willy offers to pay whatever her fee is. For a hefty $20 she offers a trip into what is claimed to be ‘the mirror of Nostradamus’, which apparently allowed the old seer to travel in time and actually see the future. The pair use it to visit the eighteenth-century, but unfortunately they find themselves in the form of humble rural yeomen (farm workers), rather than writers and wits in the London coffee-houses. Adventure ensues.

It’s not Nabakov, but it tells an amusing tale and must have been written interestingly close to the date of de Camp’s Lovecraft biography. It can be found in the Archive.org scan of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine, June 1976.

As for his “Language for Time Travelers”, I’ve also discovered that Willy Ley produced a similar essay titled “Geography for Time-travellers”, just a year later. Apparently this takes a high level view, in terms of what the Earth would have looked like to space-visitors in orbit during past ages and aeons. C.M. Korbluth followed in similar vein with his essay “Time Travel and the Law”. All three essays can be found collected in good book form in the Martin Greenberg edited collection Coming Attractions (1957), which unfortunately is not on Archive.org. Though all the articles collected had first appeared in the pulps, and so the additional two can probably be found there with a little sleuthing.

Notes on ‘Letters with Donald and Howard Wandrei’, part two

11 Sunday Sep 2022

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Lovecraft as character, Scholarly works

≈ Leave a comment

More notes on the volume of Lovecraft letters, Letters with Donald and Howard Wandrei.

We open in late 1927.

p. 172. Loveman recommended to Lovecraft a “young vagabond Frenchman, Jean Recois” who Loveman had picked up in New York. Lovecraft in turn suggested him to Wandrei.

p. 180. Lovecraft enjoyed the big-budget movie The Thief of Baghdad. This would have been a re-run of the 1924 Douglas Fairbanks version, probably as part of a double-bill of two similar older movies.

p. 185. After hearing a public lecture at Brown on the subject, Lovecraft was delighted to learn that Greece was still somewhat pagan. At least in placid watered-down outward forms, as observed first-hand by an expert on the matter. He writes… “The peasants worship their old gods at their old shrines, under saint’s names.”

p. 188. Until late 1927, Belknap Long and family were living at 323 West End Ave., New York City. They then had to move. I can find no picture of the site, but it would have been here that Lovecraft visited in the mid 1920s while living in the city.

p. 195. On the visionary artist John Martin. By late 1927, Lovecraft had seen… “excellent collections of his engravings on two occasions”.

p. 198. Wandrei met and liked Lovecraft’s aunts, and wished in a letter that he could have the same life. He appears to imply that they had been left ‘provided for’ in terms of an income that supplied a genteel lifestyle, and that they did not need to work.

p. 198. Lovecraft read “a fine study of hallucinations by Henri Beraud” sometime in the winter of 1927/28. By the mid 1920s Beraud was one of France’s best-selling literary novelists, also a magazine editor. S.T. Joshi has edited his novel Lazarus (1924) in English, but there appears to be no “study of hallucinations” among Beraud’s books… unless that novel encompasses such things? Apparently it is the melodramatic story of a lost memory and double-personality, akin in broad idea to “The Shadow Out of Time”. If that novel is not the “study of hallucinations” meant, then perhaps Lovecraft had encountered a long translated newspaper article or book chapter on the topic? I can find no-one referring to such, though there are hints Beraud influenced the surrealists. His vivid travel writing book Ce que j’ai vu a Rome (‘What I saw in Rome’), “based on his newspaper articles”, would have appealed to Lovecraft. It… “captures the atmosphere that characterized Italy, in particular Rome, in the late 1920s.” This book is apparently the source of the French intellectual phrase “hallucination historique”, originated by Beraud. But the book was not published until October 1929, and anyway appears to have never had a translation.

p. 199. He recalled, many decades later, that as a fifteen year-old he had enjoyed “The Barge of Haunted Lives” in the proto-pulp All-Story magazine in 1905. Published in book form in 1923. A contemporary review doesn’t hold out much hope that it’s a lost classic…

p. 199 and 202. He expressed a desire to meet Prof. Voss of Heidelberg, whom be believed to be the real and substantive creative force behind the contested English translation of The Monk and the Hangman’s Daughter, and true appreciator of the dense dark Bavarian forests. Possibly a hook on which a Mythos writer might hang a tale or two?

p. 211. The novelist Everett McNeil is… “getting to be a first-rate correspondent”. Sadly the McNeil-Lovecraft correspondence has been lost.

p. 217-19. Wandrei ended up living in the notorious Red Hook, New York City, for a time. By September 1928 the lad has had enough and was planning to leave.

p. 220. In September 1928 Lovecraft was practising a proto-psychogeography in Providence… “Have also made many Machen-like voyages of discovery through strange Providence streets — including whole neighbourhoods whose very existence I had never suspected … It is astonishing how many obscure and labyrinthine nooks and corners … unknown to even lifetime inhabitants until chance or deliberate exploration brings them to light.” The word “chance” appears to suggest he consciously undertook a dérive-like wandering, inspired by Machen.

p. 220. He read the “French and Asquith” ghost anthologies in November 1928. The former was an anthologist whom Lovecraft had met in person, at least once, at Eddy’s book shop in Providence. A “peppery-voiced” old man.

p. 223. Lovecraft definitely saw the Henry Peck exhibition of local drawings in Providence in November 1928.

p. 225. There was what he called a “prevailing pandemic” in January 1929, though he states he suffered only a “typical cold”. But with Loveman’s aid he still managed to get to Marblehead in winter, and there they enjoyed the lack of tourists. Presumably the “pandemic” had reduced these even further.

p. 230. There is a hint that Lovecraft’s Hell’s Kitchen novelist friend Everett McNeil was a war veteran. That much is known (see my biography of McNeil). But here we have a hint that he had once been connected with the Navy. Since in his old age he was able to be treated at the Naval Hospital.

p. 232. In Providence, Jake’s was located… “down by the Great Bridge”.

p. 241. Lovecraft briefly corresponded with the author of Pilgrims Through Space and Time: Trends and Patterns in Scientific and Utopian Fiction (1947), the first well-known and substantial survey by an academic of the pre-history and early history of science fiction. It is currently online in a 1972 reprint. Oddly enough there was also a dissertation written in Providence at Brown, surveying the German side of the proto-SF field, which apparently pre-dated Pilgrims. But only an extract was ever published, and this pioneering German study was unknown to later German writers on the same topic.

p. 249. Of young Derleth… “he actually believes in the supernatural”. Lovecraft modifies this in a late letter to Petaja, to be found in the same book. There… “Derleth believes in telepathy but not the supernatural.” Lovecraft, again writing to Petaja, thought telepathy “not outside the realm of possibility” in the mid 1930s. Though he notes the lack of support from men of authority, and the current lack of plausible evidence.

p. 250. Lovecraft’s story “Whisperer” sold for a handsome $350, on first submission. Unusually it was written in May and on a warm trip to the south, “piecemeal between snatches of revisory work”. Quite unlike his normal winter-working practices, then. This perhaps helps explain some of my thoughts and mis-givings about it, following my recent re-hearing in audiobook. It was, I now suspect, something of an experiment.

p. 252, 253, 265. Various extended musing on his ‘ancestral’ memories of deep woods, forests, inc. “vast-boled, low-branching, palaeogean forests”. One for some future article appreciating his writings about gardens, dream-gardens, flower-shops, conservatories, verdant tended landscapes, his pastorals and the like.

p. 253. “Goat Rock” was a favourite sitting spot in Quinsnicket. This is still there apparently, or at least a rock of that name. Some of “his” rocks in the park were moved or removed by WPA work in the 1930s, I seem to recall. But Goat Rock was “west of Table Rock Road” according to a WPA guidebook of the period. There was an “Old Quarry behind Goat Rock” according to a modern guide, which may interest Mythos writers.

p. 255. The popular serving-man “Domingo” at Jake’s was Portuguese.

p. 253, 256. Lovecraft had never seen the aurora (‘northern lights’), though he was sometimes told by others that it had been sighted in Providence. But always too late to see it himself.

p. 257. [one of two of] “my own most terrifying memory-phantoms are traceable to … an illustration in Robinson Crusoe.” Presumably this is to be found in an edition circa 1875-1900, although today it would probably take a Crusoe expert and collector to identify the exact edition and most likely illustrations.

The letters move into 1931:

p. 161. Lovecraft found a new bakery, the Lonsdale Bakery, which at the point of writing had been patronised since Autumn/Fall 1930. Google Books suggests this was a budget chain expanding out of nearby Saylesville where it had been established by the early 1920s. Occasionally he ate out at “The Plymouth” in Providence, and later he found an even cheaper place which served a good three-course meal for 25-cents. His budget for food seems to be going downhill at this point.

p. 265. There is another mention of the novel that Long was writing and which was based on memories of “the gang” in New York City in the mid 1920s. This is rather vaguely described by Lovecraft as “psychological or aesthetic” in approach, but at least that tells us that it was not a monster-shocker pulp mystery.

p. 271, 273. Only in September 1931 was pumped “steam heat” installed at Lovecraft’s home in Barnes St. Formerly there had been a winter “hot-air furnace” (presumably convection) which only heated part of the house, and the third floor was left unheated.

p. 285. He gives the impression of bearing up under the weight of the Great Depression, but by the third winter the general mood and dim prospects are obviously starting to get to him. He talks of his own severe “nervous depression”, lingering on into March 1932. The young psychiatric nurse Brobst arrives in the Wandrei letters this point, and (p. 286) Lovecraft is fascinated with the lad’s background in the ‘Hex’ region of Pennsylvania, apparently settled by superstitious witch-haunted German peasants.

p. 295. Lovecraft starts “eating out of cans” at home, and a short while later we hear “canned beans a heavy staple” (p. 333) on his trips.

p. 307. He takes Helen Sulley to Jake’s, but doesn’t comment on the effect her beauty might have had there. One can imagine, though.

p. 312. In Quebec he finds a… “near-Jake’s, a Chinaman with a counter-joint who caters to hard-boiled English-speakers. Not as tough as Jake’s bunch, though.”

Half the book, still to go. More later.

News from France

My thanks to Gregory for letting me know that the French magazine Actuality: The Universe of Books has a new article “Lovecraft, Cthulhu and the Old Ones enter the Pleiades”. Here “Pleiades” is a play on the name of the famous French publishing house, Bibliotheque de la Pleiade. Who have now revealed (I translate)…

We are currently preparing an edition of the works of H.P. Lovecraft”, confirms La Pleiade. … “The work is in progress”.

This is not to be confused with the sumptious Mnemos multi-volume edition of Lovecraft now emerging…

Mnemos will soon publish the 4th volume of a gigantic translation, at the end of September [2022] … accompanied by the required scholarly apparatus.

The final third of the article turns into a short interview with the main translator for Mnemos, David Pathe-Camus…

I challenge you to read a text such as “Nyarlathotep” and not think about our own time. It reads like it was written just for us. Lovecraft had a keen awareness of the human condition. [In a way, his work] foreshadows the currents that will come after it — such as existentialism or the absurd.

The same article also notes A Bestiary of the Twilight (Le Bestiaire du Crepuscule, June 2022), a French ‘BD’ (i.e. oversized graphic novel, often in hardcover) which…

takes HPL as the main character

Update: Le Bestiaire du Crepuscule has been re-titled as The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence for the English edition, and since summer 2022 can now be enjoyed by English readers.
