Wir waren gestern im #Kunstmuseum #Bern für einen Nachmittag der Kontraste: auf der einen Seite die Franz-Gertsch-Retrospektive, andererseits die Sonderausstellung „Das volle Leben“ mit Werken aus dem ältesten Bestand des Museums, von Duccio über die Berner #Nelkenmeister bis hin zu Liotard.
Am meisten angetan hat es mir aber ein Frühwerk von Gertsch: der „Schriftsteller“ von 1966. Abgesehen vom klaren Spitzweg-Zitat war ich fasziniert davon, dass (1) das dargestellte Buch am rechten unteren Bildrand den Titel „10 Science Fiction Storys“ trägt, und (2) auf dem Etikett des Notizheftes am linken unteren Rand deutlich das Wort #Necronomicon zu lesen ist (welches übrigens auch direkt über der Signatur nochmals durch die Farbe durchscheint).
Schau an, der Franz Gertsch war – zumindest zeitweilig – einer von uns 😅

KAKASHI [Japan, 2001]
Again, I found that movie so Lovecraftian. The story is similar to "Shadows Over Innsmouth".
• Innsmouth's people are from fishes. Kusukata's people are strawmen.
• Innsmouth have the Dagon cult, Kusukata have the scarecrows festival.
• both villages are isolated and far from safe places.
• Kaouru experiences the same horror as the Innsmouth's narrator.
And so much more. I love this !

All right, we did survive the reading of the #NecronomiconPVD, but only barely. Came home with a cold. Not too bad, not Covid.
Considering what to read next. Last NecronomiCON, I landed on The Festival, since that came up in conversation. I'm starting to run out of the shorter short stories, and I need to man up here and start tackling some of the longer (and better) #Lovecraft stories.

I'm thinking The Dunwich Horror. How do you pronounce that, by the way?

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we continue our Lost Tales series with "Blackie" (1916) by Edwin Baird, the first editor of WEIRD TALES, and literary cousin to Lovecraft's cat in "The Rats in the Walls."

Starting to watch "The Last House" and I may be obsessed, but... that story seems to be so Lovecraftian and have some kind of William Hope Hodgson's elements from his novel "The House In The Borderland". Am I wrong or right? Who knows...

Eclipse the day before NecronomiCon Providence? I’m not saying the Great Ones will awaken, but the Great Ones will probably awaken.

2️⃣ Eine totale Sonnenfinsternis zieht morgen über die Erde. Der Kernschatten bewegt sich exakt über Grönland, Island, Nordspanien und streift eine winzige Ecke Portugals.
3️⃣ Der bekannte Perseiden-Meteorschauer erreicht in der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13. August seinen absoluten Höhepunkt.
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Ooooh...! Spooky coincidence time. I'm planning a reunion of two of my friends from back home (#LovecraftLand in Massachusetts), so of course I felt obligated to provide entertainment (in the form of #KateBush music videos -- our common musical interest). Anyhow, while looking through my YT playlists, I came across a trailer for #StrangeMagick . I forgot it had come out, and quickly found the actual documentary. I knew it was about #HPLovecraft and #AleisterCrowley, but did not realize it dealt a lot with the #OssipeeVortex. It just so happens that our planned reunion (a few days after the #SolarEclipse ) will take place at the vortex! Talk about #StrangePhenomena !

““The strangenesses are multiplying… though the world before they began was already a strange place, so often it’s difficult to know if an event falls into the category of the old, ordinary strangenesses or the new, extraordinary variety.”*…
In a review of five recent books, Robert Baskin considers the genre of “weird fiction”…
On Tuesday, April 29, 2003, the British science fiction and fantasy writer M. John Harrison [accomplished author, Booker judge, and long-list nominee this year] asked a question on Third Alternative magazine’s messageboard: “The New Weird. Who does it? What is it? Is it even anything?” This incited a taxonomic fury, as writers, fans, and amateur scholars attempted to define this new subgenre. Harrison eventually offered his own definition; the New Weird, like stories published in the namesake early twentieth-century pulp magazine Weird Tales, is a mix of “horror, sf, and fantasy,” with an emphasis on the horror…
[Baskin usess the books in question to review the genre’s history (Poe, Lovecraft, Edith Wharton [!]) and its current state (Miéville, VanderMeer, et al.); he concludes…]
… So why read this shit? Why reissue it?
Weird fiction is a literature of crisis. The main narrative move of every important Weird fiction story is the Weird intrusion, the appearance of the new and wrong object or sensation or practice that does not belong. These intrusions challenge and endanger the protagonist’s sense of metaphysical stability. In the King in Yellow, the Weird intruder is the titular play—the madness of the text refuses to remain on the page. China Miéville argues that this awareness of crisis makes Weird Fiction uniquely open to interpretation: a “leeway for readings against the ideological grain is part of what makes Weird Fiction such an ongoingly fascinating field.” The Weird is not just a literature of fear and repulsion; it also always includes wonder and attraction. “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” – Lovecraft’s contribution to the Weird Mount Rushmore – depicts the state’s extermination of a group of racially ambiguous New Englanders who made the mistake of breeding with fishy foreigners. Despite this, the story ends in sublime ambiguity [spoiler for a nearly century-old story to follow]. The protagonist, who has spent the rest of the story in hateful terror of the Innsmouth locals, discovers that he is one of them, and in my favorite passage in all of Lovecraft, decides to go to the sea with his cousin and embrace The Weird: “We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y’hanthlei, and in that layer of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever.” What was once feared is now cause for exultation. The move between terror and wonder recurs throughout the Weird corpus—if you’re attuned to its Weird frequencies…

As we engage extremity, we might recall that i was on this date in 1946 that Santa Claus Land, the world’s first themed amusement park, opened in Santa Claus, Indiana…
Ronald Reagan visiting Santa Claus Land in 1955 #amusementPark #culture #EdgarAllanPoe #fiction #history #HPLovecraft #literature #Lovecraft #MJohnHarrison #SantaClausLand #themePark #weirdFictionIn 1941, Louis J. Koch visited the town of Santa Claus in Indiana. He found it sad that some children would visit this town eager to meet Santa only to find that he was not there. This fueled his desire to create a Santa Claus Land park where kids could see Santa any time of the year. Due to World War II, construction didn’t begin until August 1945.
The park opened on this day in 1946 with free admission, a toy shop, toy displays, a restaurant, a few rides and of course the jolly old elf himself. Later, a deer farm was added.
In 1955, a new section, Pleasureland (now known as Rudolph’s Reindeer Ranch) was added. As the park grew, the focus of the park grew as well focusing on families rather than just children.
By 1984, the park added a Halloween and a Fourth of July section to the park and changed its name to Holiday World. In 1993, the Koch family added the Splashin’ Safari Water Park. In 2006, during the park’s 60th anniversary, Holiday World added a Thanksgiving section.

Habe im Urlaub etwas systematischer #Lovecraft gelesen. Das ist schon auch eher so ein one-trick-pony, alles wird nur behauptet, ist leider unbeschreiblich (nicht so das gute Setup für Literatur) und Charaktere gibt es generell nicht da ja alles kosmisch unbedeutend 🙄
Noch jemand einen Tipp welche Story aus dem Schema originell ausbricht?
