Chronic Blog Stagnation … such a demoralizing phenomenon.
For a writer, it’s shameful: Summoning up a few hundred
words several times a week should be painless, uncomplicated … even, dare I say
it, fun.
Yet here sits this moribund blog, untouched for well over a
year, its promises unfulfilled, its followers forsaken.
Oddly enough, I think I was on to something interesting when
last I posted a handful of entries. Excavating oddities and rarities from my overcrowded
library to share with like-minded authors and artists seems a noble enough endeavor,
does it not? I believe it is time to dig up more of those small press
curiosities in my collection to reveal to the fervent masses. I will also
disclose some of the works that influenced my own writing – pulp magazines
plucked from obscurity at flea markets, classic paperback horror anthologies
and, of course, comic books.
Comic books – that’s where I will begin. In order to draw
attention to the current Indiegogo fundraising campaign supporting the
forthcoming World War Cthulhu anthology, tomorrow I will kick off a marathon of
blog entries devoted to Lovecraft in comic books.
In the meantime, why not go watch the new promo video for WorldWar Cthulhu trust me, if you like horror – and if you particularly enjoy
Lovecraftian horror – you’ll want to learn more about this first-rate anthology
edited by Brian M. Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass, set to be published by Dark
Regions Press.
