Here’s a peek at the cover of The Lovecraft Anthology Vol.2. It’s a 128-page anthology of comic book adaptations, edited by Dan Lockwood and due from Self Made Hero in March 2012. Judging by the choice of cover illustration (it seems brave of Self Made, not to put tentacles on the cover) we get a comics adaptation of “The Terrible Old Man”. Also…
Pat Mills and Attila Futaki (“The Nameless City”), Ben Dickson and Mick McMahon (“The Picture in the House”), Jamie Delano and Steve Pugh (“Pickman’s Model”).

The archive of the Die Untonen [The Undead]: Life Science and Pulp Fiction symposium proceedings are now online, for free. The event was held in Hamburg, Germany (12-14th May 2011) and was an interesting mashup of academic talks, science, art, workshops and performances…
“A unique interdisciplinary meeting of experts from the biotechnology, medical professionals, bioethicists, philosophers, theologians, legal jurists, health workers, artists, film and media makers and pop icons. The visitors and experts come together in unexpected combinations and on various issues in rooms that modeled after film sets (Hospital, Cemetery, Laboratory and Cinema – and so typical places of production and negotiation of the “undead”). The visitors can move freely through the entire setting at any time. All conversations, lectures, presentations, performances and experiments are recorded and broadcast live, so that the recipient can independently of their position in a set of infrared receivers and headphones to listen to every situation.”

Hartter’s blog has a lot of similar faux re-imaginings.

Nice concept. WistRec‘s “sound report” (soundtrack) is specially designed for listening while reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space”, in the form of a 3″ CD and a printed booklet of the story. Limited to 100 copies. WistRec is a niche Irish label.

A super new digital painting by Thomas Debitus…
See it full-size here. Looks as though it could be fairly easily expanded to the right, to make it the right size for a book cover.

Congratulations to the excellent Monster Brains blog. In a world where most blogs start hopefully but barely last six weeks, it’s now been running for six years.

The online Museum of Fantastic Specimens (in Japanese, but Google Chrome should automatically translate the page from Japanese to English). The Tokyo Drift Museum of the South Seas gallery is a special treat, although all the pictures are relatively small…
