I love this story. I also love Stross' The Atrocity Archives. It's my favorite airport novel. I've reread it at least five time by now.

For a more mainstreamist fix there are also some notable Stephen King Mythos tales in some of his short story collections:

‘Jerusalem’s Lot’ from Night Shift – perhaps the most outright Lovecraftian tale of his, at bottom it’s a reimaging of ‘Rats in the Walls’.
‘Crotch End’ from Nightmares and Dreamscapes – Chalk full of the familiar deities, but I’ve always felt this one a nod to Ramsey Campbell more so then Lovecraft, it just feels Campbell-esq.

I’ve yet to read it, but an online acquaintance has mentioned a story titled ‘N’ from his latest collection, as particularly lovecraftian in its origin.

That's, uh, "Crouch End." ;)

Christ, so it is.
That is a bit funny. Typo of the day.

I look forward to meeting some few of you this week-end at MythosCon in Phoenix. It is going to be a fabulous gathering of Mythos writers, artists, editors, publishers and scholars, probably the finest Lovecraftian gathering of all time. My one qualm is that I have to read for half an hour! Great Yuggoth! Ten minutes of reading time goes by so slowly -- half an hour will seem an endless strange aeon! I shall be reading from the book I wrote in November/December, SOME UNKNOWN GULF OF NIGHT, which is my response in prose-poems and vignettes to Lovecraft's Fungi from Yuggoth sonnet sequence. I shall be meeting some of my correspondents for the first time, some of whom I have written to for about 40 years! I was hoping that THE TANGLED MUSE would finally be ready for this convention, but I am not certain--if so it will be a pleasant surprise. The final sequence of events has been posted at the MythosCon site. The programming is the work of S. T. Joshi and is brilliant! Four days of non-stop social doings will be exhausting to a non-social Outside such as myself, but I hope to come away with so much energy for writing the three books I shall be working on this year. Gathering with other Lovecraftians is always so intoxicating! Ia!

I wish I was closer, as I would love to attend. Being in Connecticut makes it just a little too far of a commute...
