Crafting Lovecraft
If you look back over my posts, or take a quick glance at my bookshelves, it's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the work of H.P. Lovecraft and his successors. I discovered Lovecraft almost concurrent with Robert E. Howard and have been hooked on both ever since. The blending of mythology, fantasy, horror and science fiction is just irresistible to me.
Previously, I've done some illustrations for Derek Pegritz's long-missed online novel "City of Pillars", and I've been waiting for an opportunity to get back to doing more work in that landscape. Now, I'm pleased to say that starting with their October issue, # 7, my work will be appearing in the Lovecraft eZine. This is a splendid digital magazine of quality Lovecraftian fiction, easily on par with Innsmouth Free Press or the late lamented Arkham Tales. Publisher and editor Michael Davis has done a fine job so far of collecting and presenting stories based in and around Lovecraft's mood and mythology, and I'm happy as can be to be able to contribute.
If all goes well, I'll be adding at least one illustration to each issue for the foreseeable future. Look for my contribution in October's issue accompanying the story "Lord of Endings" by John R. Fultz. It was a fun piece to do, and I'm very much looking forward to doing more for future issues. There's some very talented people doing some first rate work there, and it's an honor to be among them.
That's Lovecraft eZine...readable online or downloadable for your ereading device. Subscribe, and more importantly, support them and let's help keep Lovecraft alive on the internet.
