Booktryst interviews John K. Martin (Black Sparrow Press) about his Lovecraft Weird Tales collection…

“82 years old, John has put his superlative collection of H.P. Lovecraft in Weird Tales, the famed pulp magazine, up for sale. A remarkable collection of eighty gorgeous issues amassed over decades, each – incredibly – is in fine to very fine condition with yapp edges intact; these old pulps are usually encountered in rubbed, sunned, toned, and torn shape.”

del Toro is to have another go at getting a major studio to put up the money for the filming of At the Mountains of Madness…

“I’m going to try it one more time. Once more into the dark abyss,” he laughed. “We’re gonna do a big presentation of the project again at the start of the year and see if any [studio’s] interested.” And yes, Tom Cruise is still game to be on board if they can find a home for it. “Yeah, Tom is still attached. I think it would be so fantastic to make it with him. He’s been such a great ally of the project.”

The Jersey Devil Press is doing a Lovecraft mash-ups issue…

“inspired by Gaiman stories like “A Study in Emerald” and “I Cthulhu” we’re looking for something special… a mash-up of one literary style or theme with ol’ Howard Phillips to create something new, ideally something dark and ferocious, very possibly with a healthy dose of humor. In short, write Lovecraft like Neil Gaiman!”

Deadline: 1st May 2013.
