This would have been up about a day earlier, but my ISP had an episode and I've only just regained internet access. Ah well, it's still timelier than usual.

So H P Lovecraft is pretty cool. I have been meaning to read some of his work for years now and finally got around to picking up one of his short story collections, Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories, and I'm glad I did. The Colour Out of Space in particular, despite its age, is genuinely unsettling.

One thing bothered me, though: the edition I bought turned out to be the annotated edition, in which the editor appears to have seen fit to sprinkle little numbers throughout the entire book, like the consequence of some sort of mathematical sneeze, each blot thoughtfully positioned so as to best trip up your reading eye. Ah well. It still puzzles me that so few people seem to know about Lovecraft. Compared to other immensely influential authors, anyway.

There appears to be a new film being made based on one of his works. There is practically no information about it that I could find, though. It's being made by an appropriate company, at least.

With a bit of luck the next update will be up around this time next week.
