Widely considered to be one of Lovecraft’s best works (and apparently his own favourite) The Colour Out of Space is a banger, and a story I’m totally shocked (but in a good way) that I …

In the vein of stories that are completely spoiled by their titles (jk) we have The Strange High House in the Mist. (Its crazy to me the amount of effort I needed to find non-AI images) Taking me c…

For the longest time I’d assumed this story had something to do with a ‘theory’ or a paradigm, I never realized (spoiler alert I guess) that Pickman’s eponymous Model is in …

Cool Air has quickly become one of my favourite new reads of Lovecraft. While it has many familiar tropes, its surprisingly toned down at times, but to great effect. Just as a mild example the narr…

I had a sense of deja ‘not’ reading The Descendent – I’ve definitely read the middle part where the narrator finds the eponymous Necronomicon, but I don’t recall the f…

ALT: Scrubs: Turk and J.D. Celebrate with Victory Sip

The original “Death of the Author” was a seminal essay by Roland Barthes that has divided English Classes (blue curtains meme) and internet critics in the decades since. For those unfam…

Almost more of a poem, Azathoth is I think the shortest Lovecraft piece I’ve read. Reminding me a bit of Memory not just in length but in theme, Azathoth seems to describe a time where &#8220…

I quite like my Chuck Wendig so was very happy to pick up an ARC copy of The Calamities on Netgalley. For the most part this book was right up my alley – sinister supernatural horror mixed wi…

The inspiration for this post was a random Reddit threat (which is a red flag in itself 😅) For a bit of backstory (I was going to assume that everyone knows the plot of Shawshank Redemption but tha…

What the Moon Brings begins with probably my most favourite opener in literature: “I hate the Moon – I am Afraid of it-” But its actually the strange depth of the rest of the line…

So just read Hypnos – and its uh…. surprisingly horny? No, not that one Don’t get me wrong – I know there can be a lot of interesting interpretations of Cosmic Horror, but l…

“By leave of the Judge, I sentence you to-” Harry didn’t even hear the word ‘life.’ He would recall his ear popping and a sharp ringing, like the judge had done someth…

The Other Gods is a brief but surprisingly dense work, directly tied into the series through mentions of Kadath and the Cats of Ulthar. The first few paragraphs are simply lore describing how the G…

I received this book directly from the author reaching out for ARC reviews (although I awkwardly confess to not finishing the book in ‘advance’ of its release) still thankful for the opportunity th…

Arguably my favourite Futurama moment (next to STINKPIG) The Outsider is a short but sweet piece, introduced to a lonely protagonist we are stuck in a moldy castle surrounded by an impenetrable for…

The Moon-Bog reads as a more classical horror story, with a stiff dose of Lovecraft closer to the end. In the story an unnamed Narrator tells of ‘Denys Barry’ an old friend who has made…

If you’re keeping up with my posts you’ll know that I recently(?) chatted about my nostalgia dive into Transformers, the OG comic. It was an absolutely blast jumping back into a series …

So after a Previous Post all about The Boys in Comic form we finally have the finale of the TV show! If this is somehow the first piece of online media you’ve seen about it – the ending…

A very very short piece by Lovecraft, I initially was a little cynical and let down – on first brush it sounded like an undercooked rehash of Randolph Carter’s Dream Quests but after a …

Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . . It’s actually a little hard to summarize Nyarlathotep, perhaps non-ironically. The tale is …

Lovecraft’s From Beyond is one of his more tidy stories. Something odd I notice with many of his works is that often the ‘companion’ character is named but the narrator/MC is not.…

Celaphais is an interesting brief story from Lovecraft, steeped with a little bit of dark humour and somewhat of a ‘crossover’ story, that briefly features our favourite place: ‘I…

In contrast to my whining about The Doom that came to Sarnath The Cats of Ulthar imho is historical fairy-tale done right! The story is narrated by an NPC who explains how its forbidden in Ulthar t…
