I’m pleased to see there’s a new episode of The Lovecraft Geek<\/em> podcast with Robert M. Price, The Lovecraft Geek<\/em> Podcast, 19-001<\/a>. 19 presumably stands for 2019, and the 001 is self-explanatory. My podcatcher software refuses to download locally (“cannot verify talkshoe.com”), but it streams fine. <\/p>\n

Price says at the start that he needs more questions sent in. I had sent in a list of questions by email last October, but he doesn’t seem to have got them. More questions are needed, to: criticus@aol.com<\/p>\n

He notes that Ulthar Press<\/a> has a set of Price-edited books lined up. Already published is The Mighty Warriors<\/em> (summer 2018), his edited collection of new stories likely to interest those who like 1970s sword & sorcery action — with the twist that here we have… “aging once great heroes” rather than rippling youths. <\/p>\n

Also announced was the book Narcotic<\/strike> Pnakotic Fragments<\/em> (I think I heard that correctly, presumably a play on ‘necrotic’<\/strike>), a collection of his essays on the Mythos cycle, from Ulthar Press. <\/p>\n

Sounding rather further off in time, and also from Ulthar Press, were various anthology titles. Most interesting to Lovecraft scholars is probably Price’s mention of his The Exham Priory Cycle<\/em>. Since it will include historic “precursor stories” to Lovecraft’s “The Rats in the Walls” as well as new stories influenced by the famous tale.<\/p>\n

Chaosium is apparently getting back into everything from action figures to anthologies, and the latter seem likely to include Price’s long-languishing ‘Cycle’ anthology manuscripts. Including one with stories expanding on Lovecraft’s revision tales. Price didn’t say so, but I presume that Chaosium are flush with cash from the success of the big-budget videogame and its associated boost to the sales of the table-top game and related books.<\/p>\n

Price’s next Crypt of Cthulhu<\/em> magazine should ship in the next couple of weeks. Presumably that’ll be #112, but Necronomicon Press<\/a> doesn’t have its table-of-contents up yet. Although a note elsewhere on the Web-o-sphere tells of one of the scholarly essays in it…<\/p>\n

“First and Final Estimates: August Derleth Looks at Weird Tales<\/em> Magazine\u201d is to be included in Crypt of Cthulhu<\/em> No. 112 (late 2018 or early 2019). This builds upon Haefele\u2019s earlier discussion in August Derleth Redux: The Weird Tale 1930-1971 (H. Harksen Productions, 2009), emphasizing Derleth\u2019s positive impact on the reputation of Weird Tales<\/em> magazine.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
