Thank you Mr. Bradbury for the years of stories you gave us.
At 91, he was eternally young. He will be greatly missed.

New Project Alert: The Shadow Out of Providence
It seems to be Lovecraft season!
This message just arrived, and as always, Chrispy tries to share the news about new books.
There is a groovy video at the link, or look at it below.
Dear Chris,
I wanted to let a fellow cultist know about an illustrated book called The Shadow out of Providence, a metafictional response to the writings of fantasist Howard Philips Lovecraft (1890-1937). Two stories and a play re-work Lovecraft’s themes and plots while critiquing his racism and his nostalgia for aristocracy. Artists Timothy Hutchings, Erol Otus, and Dan Zettwoch each illustrate one section of the book.
We have launched a Kickstarter page to raise money to fund the design and print run:

The project also has a home page:

If any of your readers can help us make this obsessive little project a reality it would be appreciated.

New Lovecraft Horror Comedy Mash Up
This just came in from Dan. Interesting Mash-up concept.
_____
“Shall I compare thee to a Shoggoth?”
"In the same putrid vein as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Shakespeare v. Lovecraft slithers hideously onto the literary mash-up scene, whispering of cosmic horrors and eldritch tales whilst espousing sweet soliloquys and profoundly contemplating mankind’s place in the universe."
The powerful magician Prospero, driven dangerously insane by prolonged exposure to the dread Necronomicon, makes a terrible pact with the titanic alien beast known only as Cthulhu. Now only his enchantress daughter Miranda and a handful of history’s greatest heroes are all that stand between humanity and blasphemous eternal subjugation.
Macbeth, King Henry V and more clash with some of Lovecraft’s most memorable monstrosities including Dagon, The Colour Out Of Space, Night-Gaunts, Ghouls, a Shoggoth and, of course, the Great Priest himself. And which sides will the Dream-God Oberon, the monstrous Caliban and ethereal Ariel favour in this savage clash of worlds?
Will humanity triumph and celebrate with a bawdy global rendition of “Hey Nonny Nonny”, or will the rest, as they say, be silence?"
Please check out my new novella at Amazon:
All Best
Dan
