Shub-Niggurath where has the time gone?

Chrispy feels like he's been in a time displacement. Nearly a month? >gasp<

My thought of the day is this. I was just listening to The "New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" radio shows of the 1940's starring the incredible Basil Rathbone * and Nigel Bruce. The Tobaccanist Murders (and a zillion other Holmes stories) featured Inspector Lastrasse.

Hmm.

The Call of Cthulhu has Inspector Legrasse.

Hmm.

We all know - you shoud if you have read Chrispy's nefarious archives - that HPL was a childhood fan of Sherlock Holmes. He often featured snippets of Holmes, notably in The Hound!! {heh}.

And all those comments about revolvers - probably came from Holmes and the many dime novels HPL devoured.

* Basil Rathbone also recorded a marvelous recitation of Poe stories and poems. It is to die for {heh}.

Thank You ...

... for being loyal readers of the archives in my prolonged absence.

The day job has been very intense and yet I am brimming over with new ideas for the blog.

Keep the faith, and I'll back soon with more postcard history, exclusive HPL associated ephemera and anecdotes you won't find elsewhere. I'm working on new Homage, Mythos and King in Yellow stories, too. Stay tuned.

Best Regards,
Chrispy!!
