Happy Birthday, Mr. Lovecraft! Some of the presents, so far, that have been given away for Lovecraft’s 123rd Birthday:

* Axel in Germany has today launched the ArkhamInsiders podcast. It’s a new German-language Lovecraft podcast (first edition here) which…

“in the future [plans] to do interviews with international Lovecraft scholars, writers and so on.”

* My own birthday gift is a new The annotated “The Lurking Fear” as a free PDF, with 8,000 words of new scholarly annotations. The PDF is set up so it can be printed as a 46-page booklet on a home laser printer (use the likes of the FinePrint software to print a PDF as booklet-sheets).

* Fangoria has an interview with Bryan Moore, the maker of the Lovecraft Bronze Bust set to be unveiled at NecronomiCon Providence 2013.

Above: from “The Hound” adaptation by Steve Beach.

Could be neatly followed by the free reading of Frank Belknap Long’s “The Hounds Of Tindalos” (1931) by Lewis Morgan.

Incidentally, if you’re interested in the differences between the textbook sublime and Lovecraft’s version of it, there’s an excellent article on that in Lovecraft Annual 2011.
