Several months ago Polish publisher Vesper<\/a> asked to use some of my Lovecraft art for a Polish collection of the author’s work. Their weighty paperback just happened to arrive during this tentacle-themed week, an event which also gives me an opportunity to mention again (how could I not?) that two of these pieces can be found in the new Cthulhu Calendar<\/a>. An ideal Halloween gift! Breaks the ice at eldritch parties! Etc. By coincidence I also received a book this week about vampire squid but I’ll say more about that after I’ve had a chance to read it.<\/p>\n Despite Cthulhu being on the cover, the title of the book is (according to Google) The Dunwich Horror and Other Scary Stories<\/em> which is no doubt a better sell with “horror” being up front. There are only fifteen stories but the page count runs to 792 since most of them are the later, longer works, including the entirety of At the Mountains of Madness<\/em> and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward<\/em>. A number of my illustrations are used within, one of which\u2014the drawing of Advocates’ Close<\/a> in Edinburgh which first appeared in The Haunter of the Dark<\/em>\u2014gets repurposed as an illustration for The Music of Erich Zann<\/em> (above). Quite a fitting use, I think.<\/p>\n In addition you also get my widescreen view of R’lyeh<\/a> as a spread on the inside of the French flaps. And my copy came with a nice R’lyeh bookmark. Those interested can order the book here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on { feuilleton } Several months ago Polish publisher Vesper asked to use some of my Lovecraft art for a Polish collection of the author’s work.
