Enter the Call of Cthulhu Competition, and win a copy of Astounding Stories from March 1936 featuring H.P. Lovecraft (contains part 2 of At the Mountains of Madness).

To enter, “rewrite the text of an existing review of [the game] Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land in the style of H.P. Lovecraft”.

Interesting to see quite how small Astounding was. I had gained the impression that most pulps were big tabloid-newspaper -sized things.

A new commercial reading of the Lovecraft sonnet cycle, Fungi from Yuggoth…

“A reading of H.P. Lovecraft’s Fungi from Yuggoth, set to music. Written in a short period between 1929-1930, Lovecraft’s sonnet cycle of 36 poems express his own unique visions of horror and wonder in a succinct and atmospheric style. In the Innsmouth House Press edition of this work, HPL’s poetry is read by Paul Maclean and set to specially composed music by Allicorn. The recording also comes with a 25 page booklet which includes the sonnets themselves, a brief history of Fungi from Yuggoth, footnotes on select poems and an introduction by Lovecraftian author, W.H. Pugmire.”
