Review of Black Wings of Cthulhu
The Black Wings of Cthulhu is a collection of modern Cthulhu mythos stories – and I don’t know where to start. Do I start with S. T. Joshi? Joshi is responsible for compiling the book. That makes him a good place to start. He had edited a number of Lovecraft works and written studies like […]

The Innsmouth Look motion comic
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets are a rock band from Canada. It’s often the case that their music is an interesting blend between a H.P. Lovecraft homage and a tongue-in-cheek humour.
