If H.P. Lovecraft wrote Tintin...

Again this one slipped past my radar and as a H.P.Lovecraft fan these wonderful images deserve a re-airing despite a gap of about 4 years!

The artist is Murray Groat who is based in Scotland and goes under the guise of Muzski.

So what would the pairing between Lovecraft and Hergé look like...

Hallowe'en In A Suburb & Others

I recently ordered this 7" single from Cadabra Records and it arrived yesterday. Again Andrew Leman's recording is atmospheric and the packaging is of the same high standard that I was expecting after having purchased The Hound on l.p. The version I bought was the clear vinyl version, limited to 150 copies - I believe there was a previous black swirl pressing which must've sold out. My only gripe was that the tracklisting on Cadabra Record's website, and indeed on the record sleeve itself lists 7 poems (Hallowe'en In A Suburb, The Cats, The Garden, Festival, Astrophobos, Despair & The Messenger), yet Astrophobos is not on the record. However this is still a good purchase for H.P. Lovecraft fans. Pick it up before it sells out.

H.P.Lovecraft - The Hound & The Music Of Erich Zann on vinyl

This l.p. turned up in the post this week. A limited edition audio book on vinyl of Andrew Leman's reading of 2 H.P. Lovecraft short stories. The art on the gatefold sleeve is exquisite as is the slightly translucent purple vinyl of the disc. Also included is a booklet with notes by S.T. Joshi, a respected H.P. Lovecraft scholar. Each side clocks in at about 19 minutes and the sound quality is excellent. I think only a few hundred copies were produced so snap this one up before it goes.

Cthulhu Monopoly

I know Monopoly is quick to cash in with all its special editions, but here's one that escaped even me...

I might've been tempted to buy it, if it doesn't take so long to play...

More from the Arkham Bazaar...

Following on from yesterday's post I've found plenty more to recommend this site. I'm a fan of medieval woodcuts and the artist Liv Rainey-Smith gives them a contemporary twist. The Cthulhu, Pickman's Models and Krampus are particularly good. So be sure to check out her designs.

Cthulhu greetings cards

I wish I'd seen these greetings cards before Christmas. And also I like the Ryleh postcards too. Both are available from the website Arkham Bazaar which has plenty of other H.P.Lovecraft inspired goodies for sale.
