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.

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.

The Dark Angel, a collection of early 1930s tales by Seabury Quinn from Weird Tales featuring occult detective Jules de Grandin. Somewhat salacious, very pulpy, very enjoyable. Includes the short novel The Devil’s Bride.

Thorp McClusky’s Loot of the Vampire is a 1936 vampire novel in a contemporary big-city setting. There's also mind-reading. Belongs to the short-lived but interesting 1930s weird detective story genre. It's not great, but enjoyable enough.

Henry Carew’s Vampires of the Andes, a 1925 lost world novel. Inscriptions found in the Andes are linked to unimaginably old civilisations. The metaphysical, quasi-religious, mystical esoteric themes are interesting, if exceedingly weird.

Submitted a draft of my contribution to an an upcoming Gemma Files tribute anthology centered on her book "Experimental Film".
"Vintage Reality" is a 6k-word story on what happens to a VR developer when he starts to pull the Victorian-era stereoscope (and all that stereograph content) into the Metaverse.
The story came together pretty quickly, and I'm pretty proud of it. Waiting for feedback from the editors.

A.Merritt, a forgotten master of weird fiction. His work ranges from horror (Burn Witch Burn) to epic fantasy (the delightful The Ship of Ishtar). The Face in the Abyss (1931) is a blend of dark fantasy and the 19th century adventure tale in the style of H. Rider Haggard, with a dash of Conan Doyle.
And it features a great lost world. Great fun.

#bookishadvent day 18, #smallpress edition is “Seventeen Names for Skin” by Roland Blackburn! This short horror novel darkly satirizes the stereotypical illness narrative with a strong dose of body horror to match!
