Jason Thompson has been posting some exquisite, breathtakingly detailed drawings of Lovecraft characters and related figures recently.  It's only fair I share them with you.

Thank you so very much for that link to the Doyle/Macdonald page. I am inordinately fond of their Mageworlds novels, so it's a pleasure to read other stuff they've collected. I'd dive headlong into the stories on the library page there, but I suspect most of it's best not read right before bed. :)

You are most welcome! I'm grateful to Doyle & Macdonald for posting the story. "The Yellow Sign" doesn't get enough attention these days.

Yes--by no means should you read Robert W. Chambers' work right before bed, in the dark, or when you're alone in the house. (Fair warning--those are the times it'll come back to haunt you, in any case...)

That's definitely the best [read: most obscurely disturbing] Chthulhu I've ever seen. I have not dared look at the others, to avoid both horror and spoilerification.

Yeah, apparently Asenath Waite's mother was a gill-person/human hybrid. (Obligatory H.P. Podcraft quote: "People used to wonder why Ephraim was bringing a fishbowl to all the dances, but they never liked to ask...") It's been pointed out to me that the body thief would have done quite well just to keep on living as Asenath, since the Innsmouth people are functionally immortal and very physically tough. But I guess the temptation of a male brain was just too much.
