Just finished reading the whole collection of HP Lovecraft's fiction, and it was in some ways really interesting and enlightening. Not necessarily in the ways he may have WANTED, mind you, but still...

Gracious, did that man love to read himself write like some people like to hear themselves talk. And the racism could get real unbearable at times. But overall, I can see why his world-building and eerie atmospheres are still beloved to this day.

Also, now I finally get some of the references in Lovecraft-based media I like, so that's fun.

I’m very behind reading fiction magazines, about a year behind in fact. Interzone 297 was up to its usual exacting standards, with some excellent non-fiction (although, am I alone in NOT wanting book reviews to include a detailed synopsis?) Fav story: ‘Lights of the New World’ by Paul E. Franz

Going to do some book browsing tomorrow for my birthday. 🥳

Might buy a horror novel or short stories. I’m thinking Laird Barron, Christopher Buehlman, Isabel Cañas, Mariana Enriquez, Catriona Ward.

Also thinking of a graphic novel with some fresh and exciting art.

I like poetry, and I’m currently very interested in the possibilities of poetry and illustration. Something like Mervyn Peake, Julian Peters.

Anyone have any suggestions?
