The Infernal Device Loot

| 1. August 2011

Oh happy day! Today, the loot for my support of The Infernal Device arrived! YES! Now I can truely and honestly say: I’ve got the t-shirt. Even better, I also got the clouring-book and an original piece of art which will soon be framed. So this is part of the loot: Yes, the nice apparition [...]

Space Shuttle Atlantis Final Landing

| 23. Juli 2011

Praise Great Cthulhu for the Æthernet. Coming to think of it, computer-related technology is the domain of the tick-tock man, himself an avatar of Nyarlathotep. So let us praise Nyarlathotep for the internet: *buzz* . . . go out among men and find the ways thereof, that He in the Gulf may know. To Nyarlathotep, [...]

The Kawaii-Drift of Cthulhu

| 15. Juli 2011

My friend Nancy Overbury recently posed this question over at her blog: Cthulhu Fans… What happened to all the Evil? A valid question and one that has come up within the Lovecraft Community on a number of occasions. Among others, Chad Fifer, Chris Lackey and Andrew Leman discussed this on the side once in an [...]

An Unnameable Thing in my Basement – Cthulhu Sketch!

| 22. Mai 2011

It is really weird, almost eldritch, where the Cthulhu Mythos kreeps p these days. The more you look around, the more obvious it becomes: The Mythos is everywhere! The Stars Are Almost Right! So this time, the Mythos has made it into a mainstrem Scottish comedy program I had never heard before. Very cryptic in [...]

Daguerreotype Cthulhu

| 13. Mai 2011

I’ve had this image in my collection for quite a while now. My speculation is it was Cthulhu’s dreams he sent that kept me from publishing it. Perhaps he is simply not quite comfortable in his new found role as a gentleman of leissure, yet. I guess that’s undertsandable. After being a cosmic horror for [...]

The Ward – H.P. Lovecraft inspired sitcom

| 10. April 2011

Good job I regularly check out what my good friend Captain Serenus is doing over at Clockworker (see sidebar for link). Otherwise I would have probably failed to mention this excellent sitcom The Ward on my blog. Since the Cthulhu Mythos is the second main theme of this blog, it would have been quite disgraceful [...]

Crossovers

| 27. Februar 2011

It has been a while now since I posted something Cthulhu Mythos related. This is an almost unbearable situation. Fortunately, this post concerns the Mythos, this makes the situation more bearable. Back in the early 1990′s when I read H.P. Lovecraft for the first time (I was in my late teens then) I also came [...]

Deep Ones and The Clockwork Man

| 17. Oktober 2010

While actually not looking for fashion, I came across a company by the name of The Affair which trades in t-shirts. But to say they trade in t-shirts  and leave it at that would be like saying Terry Pratchett writes nice books or H.P. Lovecraft was a horror writer of some note. In other words, [...]

Mythos Musical Equipment

| 4. August 2010

The following photo appeared on the Ætherweb quite a while ago. Rumor has i it was first twittered by Neil Gaiman. Could be… I guess he has ways to access the darker corners of the cosmos. In any case, I guess this, errh.. Cthulele? proves that the dancers and players at Azathoth’s court have actually [...]
