It had to happen. A Lovecraft perfume selection, courtest of the Black Pheonix Alchemy Lab of the eldritch town of… err… North Hollywood. Their A Picnic in Arkham page lists all their Lovecraft scents. The marketing pitch is bit off: no pictures of the bottles, and eye-achingly miniscule type for the descriptions. Possibly that’s because the bottles are, frankly, a little naff looking…
Incidentally, eBay has just banned the sale of magic spells, potions, and curses along with other psychic and prayer mumbo-jumbo. Although perfumes and scented candle schlock can still be sold. Oh, and Etsy has also banned sales of items that include “human remains or body parts”. Eww.
. Nothing very Lovecraftian in it as far as I can see. But interesting defences of bookishness, musings on the social role and cultural depictions of scientists, and musings on SF/fantasy/horror genres and blurring boundaries.
