The Litany of Dagon scroll Geek Native shared in August had its fans so I took notice when I came across Zarono on Etsy selling a range of Cthulhu and Necronomicon scrolls. The experience feels in keeping with the H.P. Lovecraft experience; I was browsing through Etsy’s wonders when I noticed the strange designs on […]
Will the Great Intelligence and the Yeti appear in the Doctor Who Christmas special?
This post is speculation. I’ve not seen any of the previews of The Snowmen, the 2012 Christmas special, and I’ve no insider knowledge. This post is fanboy froth, mixed with internet research and the chance to show some previously discovered art and pictures. If you’re worried that this speculation might be right and therefore might […]
Eldritch Skies Design essay
Eldritch Skies is a Lovecraftian sci-fi RPG from Battlefield Press. The game is written by John Snead and is set in 2030. The post below is a design essay from the game’s creator. The seed for this project originated in a discussion on RPG.net back in 2006. Science fiction is my favorite genre in which […]
Lovecraft horror RPG tremulus slaughters goals
[Pledge here] Tremulus (actually, I think the branding demands lower case t – tremulus) has a storytelling RPG Kickstarter project. We’ve seen some large projects in recent days but tremulus is at the other end of the evolutionary scale – asking for only $5,000. The result? At the time of posting, tremulus has slaughtered its […]
Hey There Cthulhu
Hey There Cthulhu is a special song. By Eben Brooks the song is a classic. The photomontage video appeared on YouTube just over four years ago – and now has over a million plays. I’m not sure there are a million people in the world today who have actually read an H.P. Lovecraft book. I […]
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. Their discography includes Cthulhu Strikes Back, Great Old Ones, Let Sleeping Gods Lie and The Shadow Out of Tim. The track “The Innsmouth […]
The wine tentacle
This is a wine stopper. A very different sort of wine stopper – like something out of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos or, dare I say it, certain anime films. The wine tentacle is resin-cast on a stainless steel stopper with a rubber lip. Fancy it? It’s one of the new arrivals at the indie craft […]
