  • March 4, 2013

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia

A picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, it’s also worth a thousand Cthulhus. A reader alerted us to a series of photos he took around Leith in Scotland, which seem to have an Innsmouthian mood. Each photo is captioned with some lines of text from “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.”

Jumping a couple of years back, Joshua Hoffine created a series of photos inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s story “Pickman’s Model.” The set of five photos is entitled …

Asylum is being developed by Senscape, an Argentinian company headed by Agustín Cordes. He previously designed and developed Scratches, which sold over 250,000 copies.

The Kickstarter page says:

Found on the Net: W.H. Pugmire and the Case of the Wikipedia Deletion

  • February 3, 2013

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia

A few days ago, a rumbling unsettled the Lovecraftian community as news spread that the Wikipedia entry of author W.H. Pugmire was in danger of being deleted. While the entry could use some revising and condensing, the reasons for the deletion are misguided, at best. Here is why it is on the chopping block:

Pugmire has no major publication credits

“Pugmire’s literary output seems to have been almost entirely short stories and poems, most of them …
