New on Archive.org, H.P. Lovecraft – Commonplace Book – Transcribed by R. H. Barlow in a digital fan edition…

I wanted to make the original document available here in the Archive, and so here it is (with a new cover image made by me)

This seems pertinent to the late-summer season of large moths…

There’s also a fan compilation of Hannes Bok’s Science Fiction Illustrations, newly on Archive.org.

What Lovecraft looks like in Spanish-speaking South America…

New on Archive.org, Lin Carter’s Dreams From R’lyeh (1975).

With an introduction by L. Sprague de Camp, cover by Tim Kirk.

The French stage-play Lovecraft, mon amour as a 90 minute recording on YouTube. YouTube will auto-translate the subtitles to an English which is often rather puzzling or garbled (even the best ‘AI auto-translate’ is still poor, at present). Looking back through my Tentaclii posts, I don’t seem to have spotted an English translation in book form as yet, with which one might follow along.

Posted as a kind gift for Lovecraft’s Birthday, I assume.

A Lovecraft Telegram Sticker set. Some better than others, but pleasingly done. Telegram being a moderately successful Twitter competitor, keen on free speech. Perhaps I should try it, but it’s yet another service that doesn’t seem very friendly to users of desktop PCs. Presumably because mobile devices allow much more data-leeching than PCs? /Adopts clueless old man pose, scratches head…/ Anyway, nice stickers. Which I assume are used like ye olde emojis.

I don’t see any other Lovecraft sets, just this large one.

The German Lovecraftians seek an editor for their annual bumper double-issue Lovecrafter magazine. Specifically the ‘PLAY’ half of the magazine. The 2023 edition is said to be done and should be appearing soon, so this role will be from September 2023 for the late summer 2024 issue…

The Lovecrafter is looking for a new editor-in-chief for the PLAY section from September. Andre will resign with a heavy heart after the upcoming double-issue, in order to devote himself to other creative projects.

They need a gamer who can write and revise, manage proofreaders and other volunteer assistants, and who has the editorial talent to produce a balanced and well-sequenced magazine to a firm deadline. You won’t also be doing layout and copy-fitting, since Andre stays as “layout artist”. I assume the role is unpaid, and of course your German would need to be impeccable.

Also note that the German Lovecraft Society’s online magazine…

Lovecrafter Online is looking for a new editor with immediate effect.

I see that the recent ‘Lovecraft in Quebec’ (La Cite Oblique) graphic novel can now be had from The HPLHS Store in U.S. dollars. 168 pages, in French. The HPLHS offers an encouraging description.
