In the rush to get things out of boxes and into shelves/closets/whatever, our books mostly ended up in a fairly haphazard arrangement that pays no respect to either author's name or genre. Thus it is that Lovecraft is currently sharing shelfspace with Nancy Drew, and this made me wonder what a story combining the two would sound like.

1. Friday made me happy because it was haircut-and-shopping day followed by dinner with the husband and an evening of intensive chatting wherein feliciakw expounded to me her theological argument for the existence of God as evidenced by the existence of Jensen Ackles. I love my friends.

Dear brain:

Okay, yes, I'm sure I deserved this for breaking my one-book-at-a-time rule, but how was I supposed to know that reading Gone With the Wind and H.P. Lovecraft stories at the same time would result in such interesting crossover dreams? Anyway, I was wondering if you could stop that, now. I promise not to mix Civil War romance-drama with ( Read more... )

The weather today is hot, gray and humid (for CA) making it the perfect day to share some Lovecraftian Linkage!

For fans of the "Deep One" scented candle, a few links to recent (or at least recently-discovered) hilarity having to do with our favorite ancient undead tentacled demi-god thingies:
