Re: The Age of Lovecraft
Could someone explain to me ye meaning of the jacket illustration? It alone inspires me to avoid this title.
"We work in the dark -- we do what we can -- we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."
--Henry James (1843-1916)

The interview with Miéville should be interesting. An inconsistent writer but a fascinating one nonetheless.

Campbell and Miéville are both gifts, but I'm feeling significant Lovecraft burnout lately. Perhaps it shall pass.

Lovecraft was a horror writer and therefore blood.

Further the sign on his forehead looks like a smelly pile of dung.

Re: The Age of Lovecraft
I'll pass on this book--Mieville turns my stomach-- but this is indeed the Age of Lovecraft; and John Ringo, Bob Price and Ralph Peters said it best. The Death Cults are awake and thirsting for blood. A dark unrest lies upon the land. Nyarlathotep howls.
