Thinking of writing a Cthulhu mythos story that takes place circa 2000. I kind of want an updated one. Perhaps they were contemporary when Lovecraft wrote them, but the mythos always feels like a period piece to me, so an updated telling also needs to be in the past.

I know how I want to end it. An ending to strike untold horror in the hearts of anyone that remembers the turn of the millennium… a Nokia 3310 cellphone… BROKEN IN HALF!!!!!

Before I get sucked into the nextfest, I wanted to give a shout out to the first #gacha game I've really enjoyed, #ChaosZeroNightmare. It's a mix of #SlayTheSpire and #DarkestDungeon. And it plays really well, with a lot of creative abilities with interesting interplay. Plus, having one of your crew fight their way back from a mental break just in time unleash an ultimate on the #Lovecraftian horror boss is fist-pumpingly-awesome.

Loving Shadows of Brimstone solo. Have a family game planned this weekend, now I’ve got the hang of the rules and turn sequence.

I have only tried 4 of the 8 starting characters we own so far. They’ve all been fun, and very different to each other. The game can be brutal.

Looking forward to expanding my collection for the game.

Join us in Celebrating 15 Years

Hello Friends,

Fifteen years ago today is when it all started: February 1, 2011! I hope you’ll join us today to celebrate LIVE — but if you can’t, you can always watch later. (Or listen.)

My wife Danielle will be on the show for the very first time! John Langan and Kelly Young will join us as well, along with the rest of the eZine gang.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of you. I appreciate everyone who has supported me by watching/listening to the podcast, especially my Patreons. Guys, we would not be celebrating 15 years today if it wasn’t for your financial support.

The same goes for my fellow panelists; today would not be happening if you weren’t here with me every week, talking about horror, weird fiction, life, the universe, everything, and sometimes nothing. I appreciate you all so very much.

Last but not least: here’s to Joe Pulver and Rick Lai. I wish you were both here to celebrate this day with us.

Click here to watch today’s episode! We go live at 6:00 pm Eastern Time.

Mike Davis

“It shouldn’t work, but it does” — 15 Years of The Lovecraft eZine

By Pete Rawlik.

From 2012 through 2013 I sold three stories to the Lovecraft eZine, and somehow or another lost my soul in the process. It sucks you in slowly, quietly, gently. One minute you’re a special guest on the group chat and the next you’re a regular panelist, with all that entails.

Which means there are books to read, movies to watch, authors to research, late night chats to drop in on, and the regular Sunday night podcast to prepare for. It consumes my time – cuts into my writing and my fishing and my cooking. On weekends I must cut my Sunday adventures short to make the show on time. The Lovecraft eZine takes more time out of my life than it should, and every once in a while I have to explain to someone why I can’t do what they want me to do, and they look at me like I am more than just a little insane. Not to mention the pay, which by the way is non-existent.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I really don’t know what Mike Davis was thinking when he started this. I suspect even he didn’t know what he was thinking when he started this. And honestly, its blown up so much bigger than I think he ever suspected it would. He may have started publishing short fiction but now, all these years later what he has really created is a community. A community not just focused on Lovecraft or the Cthulhu Mythos, but Weird Fiction in general, and loosely defined at that. We are just as likely to talk about Cosmic Horror as we are to talk about comic books, or games, or Star Trek, or well, anything, really.

And all of this is interlaced with a whole bunch of commentary and tidbits about everyone’s personal lives and projects. Not to mention regular updates on who is publishing what and when and where.

I’ve watched quite a few podcasts in my time, and honestly, the eZine Podcast is one of the most unfocused, meandering, mélanges of unfocused nonsense out there. It’s less a podcast than a bunch of really smart/stupid/ADHD suffering geeks getting together every week to chat about whatever and then broadcasting it to the world. By all rights it shouldn’t have an audience, it should just leave the playing field quietly and let better looking, smarter, more engaging people do more crafted presentations.

But the thing is, it does have an audience, an audience that continues to grow and suffer, and laugh, and cry, and share joys and sorrows.

I am a huge fan of conventions like Necronomicon-Providence because I get to meet with like-minded people whose interests overlap mine, and talk with them, eat with them, and yes drink into the wee hours with them. Cons are some of my favorite things. But I also know they are fleeting things, wholly unsustainable for more than three or four days. They aren’t real life and can’t be. Real life gets in the way. But the podcast takes just a little bit of what is best about cons and keeps it alive, keeps those connections going, keeps the community talking to one another.

Ultimately, that may be Mike’s greatest accomplishment: the construction of a community. One that caters to what once was thought of as a sub-sub-sub-genre of SF/F/H but has turned out to be much bigger than anyone ever thought. In some ways it’s like stone soup. It’s an amazing thing, a beautiful conglomeration that started with an absolutely insane idea from one person and then grew beyond that idea as other people brought their own ideas in.

It shouldn’t work, but it does.

And Mike Davis is the madman that keeps the water boiling, and the new ingredients coming in.

And for that I am grateful.

Well, that is sad and horrifying.

I think I have mentioned before, knowing someone who openly admits to falling asleep on his commute, implicitly trusting his #Telsa #FSD mode to not kill him.

There is no shame in his voice when he admits dozing off.

It's the damnedest thing.

It's like a #Lovecraftian cult that demands monstrous and terrible sacrifices, in exchange for...

Well, I don't think they get much of anything.

Other than feeling smug about their rotten decisions.
