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 […]
Achtung! Cthulhu – mythos set in World War 2
Modiphius, a new imprint from Chris Birch, have announced Achtung! Cthulhu. The game takes the Cthulhu mythos and brings it into the horror of the second world war.

Living with Lovecraft
Living with Lovecraft hit YouTube towards the end of 2011 and was originally made for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. However, the upload suggests there will be more webisodes coming soon – that, sadly, seems unlikely as we would have seen them by now. This video represents what it might be like everyday life with […]
The strange chitter of Nyarlaothtop – Naiyoru! Nyaruko-san trailer
It’s always a challenge working out which anime trailers to share on Geek Native. I assume that most readers, like this blogger, don’t speak Japanese. It’s also tempting to post this video without explanation. I think the explanation is what makes the video surreal and funny though! In the anime Naiyoru! Nyaruko-san the thing that […]
John Dies at the End trailer
When I reviewed the re-release of John Dies at the End I speculated on the claim the book would become the movie. I was worried it might not happen. Now there’s a trailer; I’m still a little cautious! Don Coscarelli, the movie director, describes it as a mashup of Douglas Adams and Stephen King. I […]
Chi Chi the All-Seeing Eye Dog is a tiny terror of dooooom
Imagine having a Lovecraftian watch dog. It would be an odd shape of angles and lines. It would have one, bold, brave and staring eye. It would hint at insanity. Chi Chi the All-Seeing Eye Dog has these qualities. There is, however, a problem. When coming to this dimension Chi Chi failed to grapple with […]
John Dies At the End review
This is a happy story. David Wong had a dull and hard data entry job. When that finished he’d go to his other dull and hard data entry job. Somehow he found time to pull together some thoughts for publication on the web. A few people read these words in the first year. That’s the […]
Sanity found as Amazon sides with Cthulhu geeks
Can you imagine the soul destroying horror of working on a huge project, making the results available for free only then to discover that someone’s ripped off your work and has started to sell it at a profit? That’s exactly what happened to Cthulhu Chick, a library student know for her excellent tiny crocheted Cthulhus. […]
