The author Lord Dunsany wrote a very short story on that topic at the time:THE FOOD OF DEATH
Death was sick. But they brought him bread that the modern bakers make, whitened with alum, and the tinned meats of Chicago, with a pinch of our modern substitute for salt. They carried him into the dining-room of a great hotel (in that close atmosphere Death breathed more freely), and there they gave him their cheap Indian tea. They brought him a bottle of wine that they called champagne. Death drank it up. They brought a newspaper and looked up the patent medicines; they gave him the foods that it recommended for invalids, and a little medicine as prescribed in the paper. They gave him some milk and borax, such as children drink in England.
Death arose ravening, strong, and strode again through the cities.

*You would think that "the mud of the Thames" would be Britain's most boring and mundane writerly topic, but if you've got enough transformational potency in your verbal mystifications, you can make any everyday thing intensely weird #EverydayWeird #Dunsany sacred-texts.com/neu/dun/adta...

Continuing our look at weird works in translation on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein this month, we review "Donde suben y bajan las mareas" (1978) by Alberto Breccia and Carlos Trillo - one of the rarer comic adaptations of Lord Dunsany's fiction.

Holy God... OMG...
What a beautiful old place!
How I wish to be there and have a tasteful tea while I read to #Lovecraft, #Poe, #Dunsany and other writers from 1800s and early 1900s!

Gebloggt über eine spärlich veröffentlichte Kurzgeschichte von Lord #Dunsany (als Schulaufgabe): https://www.herr-rau.de/wordpress/2024/05/lord-dunsany-es-ist-zu-lange-her-its-a-long-time-ago.htm

Nachholschulaufgaben Deutsch sind so, wie wenn man ein Theaterstück erst einmal vor kleinem Publikum probt, bevor es in die große Stadt geht. Dieser Tage zum ersten Mal bei der Inhaltsangabe eine Kurzgeschichte von Lord Dunsany probiert - aus einer Sammlung irischer Liebesgeschichten, vor Jahrzehnten in Hörzu abgedruckt, von mir dort entdeckt und aufgehoben. Erwähnenswert, weil #Dunsany sonst ganz anderes schrieb. #Lovecraft hatte ich bislang nur als Übungstext. (Fazit: Kann man machen.) #FediLZ

This month on Her Letters to Lovecraft, we look at Alice M. Hamlet and the connections between Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, and amateur journalism.

In a 1921 essay on #Dunsany, #Lovecraft gives a list of terrible Modernist writers of whom, he feels, his beloved Dunsany is the direct opposite. It includes James Branch #Cabell, who is often mentioned as one of the few writers who are really similar to Dunsany.
