This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we're trying something different: presenting the first in a series of lost and forgotten tales.
"Something from Beyond" (1941) by Paul Dennis LaVond is a story of the Cthulhu Mythos - but one never collected or republished since its first appearance.

"The Wetworks Miracle is an eco-horror epic in the skin of a novella, a dazzling, dreadful plunge into ... terrors of the sort that one might find in a China Miéville novel or a film by Guillermo Del Toro." - E.G. Condé, author of Sordidez.
THE WETWORKS MIRACLE is out at the end of the month there's still time to get your order in!

Two 2023 indie takes on cosmic horror, same fundamental mistake: explaining the unknowable. Older Gods turns existential dread into a character, while Gods of the Deep treats the Mythos like a checklist of references.

Ever since this forest refused to let me go, I've been growing with it. By a careful application of my instruments, I set up the ongoing statistical analysis of this ecosystem's generalised behaviour and its tidal pulses. Even under the canopy, there's plenty of sunlight during the day to charge batteries, while the nights are dark enough for my camouflage tent to remain completely concealed. I've managed to hack an autoflowing scriptbot that excites my surroundings through my ring's emitters. It's meant to adapt and optimise for my safety under various circumstances. I believe I depend on it. Sometimes I hear growls in the distance and bioluminescent scampering about.
I keep stumbling into groves opulent with eternally ripening fruits. They make me think deeper and wander longer. I feel better than I ever did in my erstwhile youth. The way I got my days going for me is like a kind of neverending eden. I sometimes spot the birds singing their uplifting melodies... My favourite are the ones with spider-patterned heads and iridescent tail feathers. Their sounds remind me of my father's electric flute. It's almost as if I could hear him again, and I keep marching on through the verdant woods, feeling happy as a lone child on a fantastical quest.
Now, if I could only find my way out of this labyrinth of foliage... I long for human touch and to converse with another intelligent mind. Keeping a physical diary helps, though lately I noticed it writing back to me.

Today on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we look at "Vyvyan's Father" (2013) by Jayaprakash Satyamurthy and meditate on Innsmouth, W. H. Pugmire, and the expansion of the Cthulhu Mythos.

"As for real life, there is no deserving or not deserving, just as there are no values, no morals, no rights, none of that rhetorical debris that makes our lives a misery far beyond that ordained by the facts of our physical existence."
—Thomas Ligotti, (from, Disillusionment Can Be Glamorous: An Interview With Thomas Ligotti)

The Tower of Teeth is an Obscuurum (an artifact of the Great Darkness of 1999) that, as the name implies, is totally comprised of teeth - human, animal, and "other." It was discovered after the Great Darkness and soon became known as the tallest structure in the world. Nobody knows how it was built.
