Re: Your Favorite Cthulhu Mythos Story
There is nothing at all "wrong" about "plugging" one's writing and the books of friends, &c. The only people who complain about such things are snobs and toxic yobs, & they are so easily ignor'd. I always appreciate knowing about what my weird tale writer friends are working on or about to have publish'd, and this is most certainly a proper place for such information. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Favorite Cthulhu Mythos Story
I agree, Wilum. We write to be read. And in venues like this one, passing along information on works we feel the members might enjoy seems completely proper. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Favorite Cthulhu Mythos Story
Oh, I know "The Hounds of Tindalos" was set in a modern setting, when it was written. What I meant was that I think it would have been more plausible in times closer to ours. My reasoning is, briefly, that to me it would seem more plausible if we, the readers, were witnessing the situation through a webcam or some other filming device.
But it's a matter of detail, really. It remains one of my all-time favourites I am glad to hear that it was not inappropriate that I mentioned ELDRITCH HORRORS: DARK TALES. Thank you. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Favorite Cthulhu Mythos Story
I absolutely agree. I only have that and the one in Joshi's (ed.) American Supernatural Tales. Is his other horror fiction that good? |
