His Providence isn\u2019t just that of Lovecraft\u2019s home, but of his own brand of mythos [and the] creatures of Lovecraft\u2019s most revered work are only present in whispers and rumblings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Has titles such as &#8220;King of Cat Swamp&#8221;, although I&#8217;m uncertain if Lovecraft himself puts it some sort of appearance. Yet I know that Jonathan Thomas has written at least one story in which (it is said) the shade of Lovecraft rises to revisit modern Providence. Thus this book seems close enough for me to use the &#8220;Lovecraft as character&#8221; tag for the blog post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/malprov.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/malprov.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"356\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/malprov.jpg 628w, https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/malprov-528x356.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for those wanting a copy, the 500-copy edition has sold out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News to me, Malign Providence (2022), a new Centipede Press book offering a &#8220;collection of stories by Jonathan Thomas&#8221;&#8230; sixteen &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2023\/05\/29\/malign-providence\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lovecraft-as-character","category-new-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59929"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59985,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59929\/revisions\/59985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
