Barcelona in 1977

It’s Barcelona in 1977, and you’re easing through the pungent alleyways of the Ramblas having bagged this new three-volume set of Relatos de los mitos de Cthulhu…

The above offers another peep at what Lovecraft looked like to the Spanish and Latin Americans in the 1970s, this time with rather more appealing covers than my 1972 example. The covers offer a nice visual mix of monsters, astrological constellations (as if seen low on the horizon through foliage), and what one might interpret as the ‘waves of time’ or ‘cosmic waves’ or simply the ocean.

The ‘Lovecraft and others’ bit suggests that the Spanish were getting a large helping of Derleth along with their Lovecraft, at this point in time. Derleth was apparently the editor. The set appears to have gone to at least another two editions, though with new and less appealing covers than these.

Doc Vandal

Doc Vandal sounds good honest pulpy fun. It’s basically new Doc Savage novels set in a Sky Captain-like alternate-history circa 1937, with Lovecraftian twists. The first set of three Doc Vandal Adventures novels are now collected as a £4 Kindle ebook.

When Nazi gorillas try to crash a Zeppelin full of zombies into Doc Vandal’s 87th floor home, he knows he’s got trouble.

If you just want to try one out, Attacked Beneath Antarctica (Doc Vandal #3) is said to have strong Lovecraftian elements and will only set you back £2.32.

Druillet’s Necronomicon – the missing pages

≈ Leave a comment

Philippe Druillet ‘Necronomicon, or Book of the Dead’ (Heavy Metal magazine, Lovecraft special issue, October 1979) was not the full cut. Most of that issue was taken and translated from the French Metal Hurlant for September 1978. During the process, Druillet’s ‘Necronomicon’ was cut from eleven to six pages.

Here are the missing pages, via a new Gallery post at heavymetal.com. Along with the cover of the Metal Hurlant Lovecraft special, making this a ‘Kittee Tuesday’ posting as well.

Last noted here just before Christmas 2018, Grimscribe Press’s Vastarien journal has since produced six more issues.

Assuming you already have (or have previously noted the contents of) issue one, then the following is the scholarly non-fiction you’d have missed in the later issues…

Thomas Lovell Beddoes: Marginalia in a Cadaveric Atlas.

H. P. Lovecraft and H. R. Giger: The Maestros and Their Muses.

Expansion, Psychogeography, and the Living City in Andrei Bely’s Petersburg.

Interview with T. E. D. Klein.

The Atmospheric Machines of Poe and Ligotti.

Polanski’s Apartment Trilogy: Perceptual Crisis, Identity, and the Rented Flat.

Visions of the Gothic Body in Thomas Ligotti’s Short Stories.

The Dark Passions of Mark Samuels.

The Power of Individuality in the Work of Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Richard Gavin: The Nature of Horror.

The Ghosts of Their Guns: Magical Realism in the Fiction of Nadia Bulkin.

Bequeathing the World to Insects [possible survey of post-human beetle-races etc, in fiction??]

Lacan on Lynch: Viewing Twin Peaks through a Psychoanalytic Lens.

Brown to the Ashmolean

Brown to the Ashmolean, in 1936. If up-sized via AI, printed and glued, it could potentially be a nice prompt for a Lovecraftian RPG game.

Dark Worlds Quarterly appreciates Long’s ‘Lovecraft years’, with the new article “Frank Belknap Long – Part One: 1920-1939”. Including a nice ink-drawing of him I’d not seen before, and a fine collection of his story and poetry header-art.

Update: Frank Belknap Long – Part Two: The 1940s.

Also at Dark Worlds, a new “Giant Spiders in Weird Tales“ visual survey.

Kittee Tuesday: It’s 1972 in South America…

Celebrating H.P. Lovecraft’s keen interest in cats.

It’s 1972 in South America. You’re dodging fugitive Nazis in one-tap villages and cantering over the wide-open pampas on your lama, in search of the lost Nazca Lines. The 1972 El que acecha en el umbral is the edition of Lovecraft that’s in your saddle-bags…

The Lone Animator is back to blogging, with a fine ‘making of’ blog post.

This one is about his new adaptation of Lovecraft’s “The Elder Pharos”, part of the Fungi From Yuggoth cycle. The animation was released on YouTube a few weeks before the virus hit.
