I am working on some posts that will hopefully be a bit more substantive but as often happens when the world is too much with me I have retreated to the mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. Often that means I identify some more items to add the vast, already unreadable mass of books squelching around the forgotten spaces and hidden corners of the house. So here they are sitting on the Eldritch Horror game board we really need to start playing before the massive kickstarter version of Etherfields shows up.
The Grimscribe's Puppets a homage to the works of Thomas Ligotti, cover by Daniele Serra.So far I have only read "Furnace" by Livia Llewellyn which appears to be a tribute to the stories that appeared in Ligotti's In a Foreign Town, In a Foreign Land collection about a northern town. "Furnace" is brilliant, one of the most evocatively written things I have read in a long time. It's ethos is Ligotti but descriptively I also thought of the darker works of Ray Bradbury. Wow.
Dead But Dreaming 2, the cover is unattributed. The first Dead But Dreaming was great. "Salt Air" by Mike Minnis was worth the cover price. Dead But Dreaming 2 has stories by some of my favourite mythos authors, Don Webb, Darrell Schweitzer, W. H. Pugmire, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Will Murray how could I resist.
Fungi, cover by Oliver Wetter, as a William Hope Hodgson fan this was a must.
The Lurking Chronology A Timeline of the Derleth Mythos, cover by Steve Santiago.
Phantasmagoria, cover by Douglas Klauba
