Marc Guggenheim und Alex Maleev haben Stephen Kings Kurzgeschichte „N“ erst in einen Online-Comic und jetzt in eine klassische Bildergeschichte verwandelt. Mit ihren stark digital bearbeiteten Bildern bietet die Geschichte über eine mysteriöse Selbstmordserie und Zwangsneurosen gewaltig Verstörungspotenzial.[...]

War HPL ein Stephen King der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre? Ganz und gar nicht, denn Lovecraft gebrach es am Vermarktungsgeschick, überdies ist sein Werk recht überschaubar.[...]

Clark Ashton Smith ist kein Thema der Anglistik beziehungsweise der Amerikanistik. Fragt man einen Literaturwissenschafter, weshalb seine Disziplin Clark Ashton Smith meidet, würde er, sofern er den Namen überhaupt kennt, wohl sagen, dass es sich da doch nur um einen Autor von Horrorgeschichten dreht, schon daran zu erkennen, dass die deutschsprachigen Ausgaben derzeit bei Festa, also einem einschlägigen Spezial-Verlag erscheinen.[...]

Geology of the Mountains of Madness

2011-12-23T13:18:00.001+01:00

This week we remembered the struggle and final triumph to reach one of the last large white spots of the globe: the interior of the southern continent of Antarctica. 100 years ago only segments of the coast and the approximately contours of Antarctica were known – a perfect scenario for the imagination of writers.[...]
[...]"At the Mountains of Madness" is a science-fiction/horror story by the American writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), written in February/March 1931 and originally published in the February, March and April 1936 issues of one of the first pulp-magazine of history: "Astounding Stories".[...]

Beware The Weird!

2011-11-19T17:46:00.000+01:00

An anthology of writing so powerful it will leave your reality utterly shredded has been released. I implore you not to read it.
I am forced into speech because men of letters refuse to act without knowing why. It is altogether against my will that I tell my reasons for opposing the publication of this tome – with its dangerous unearthing of such potent weird tales – and I am the more reluctant because my warning may be in vain. Doubt of the real facts, as I must reveal them, is inevitable. But the hitherto ignored evidence – the madness of the many authors contained in its pages and clearly inhuman determination of its "editors" – must surely count in my favour.[...]

The Shoggoths had a racecar sheen. “They are pristine,” he said. “They are functional. They are not asymmetric. Symmetry is efficiency. And these guys need to be efficient.” He wasn’t sure yet if the Shoggoth palette should be “pearlescent” or “circulatory”—reds and blues.[...]

A Video History of Animated Cthulu

2011-01-27T18:58:00.002+01:00

common response to the Cutethulhu phenomenon is to compare it with the defanging of Dracula and Frankenstein’s Monster. Originally horrors that thrilled millions, they became cuddly cartoon and muppet characters on television, foils for Abbott and Costello in the movies, purveyors of breakfast cereals, and childrens’ icons in general. But what’s different about Cthulhu is that the trajectory is somewhat reversed.[...]

This year’s retreat day (which ran last Saturday) included a Super Hero themed live game (run by Andy Ashcraft), a drum circle (run by Richard Becker) and, lastly, a drawing/painting visual arts project that I ran.[...]
