Cover for the now-defunct Cthulhu Sex magazine<\/a>, volume 2, no. 23. Art by Chad Savage<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 Revising Lovecraft: The Mutant Mythos by Paul StJohn Mackintosh<\/a>. Mackintosh was interviewed at Greydogtales<\/a> in 2016 where he made a point that certainly chimes with my experience: “…the English-speaking genre community seems to have far more trouble with certain sexual themes than the mainstream literary community does, especially in Europe. […] A pity, because, for example, if H P Lovecraft\u2019s worldview did owe much to sexual repression, then more mature engagement with that could really benefit the whole cosmic horror genre.”<\/p>\n \u2022 At Expanding Mind: Occultist and Aleister Crowley biographer\u00a0Richard Kaczynski<\/a> talks with Erik Davis about Jack Parsons, the \u201cmethod of science,\u201d the Agape Lodge, the women of Thelema, and the pluses and minuses of the\u00a0Strange Angel<\/em>\u00a0TV series.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 The Tell-Tale Heart<\/em> (1953) is a short adaptation of the Poe story directed by JB Williams, and featuring Stanley Baker as the author. The film had been lost for 50 years<\/a> but may now be seen on the BFI website<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 From July but more suited to the end of October: Paul Karasik<\/a> on The Addams Family Secret: how a massive painting by Charles Addams wound up hidden away in a university library.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mixes of the week: Samhain S\u00e9ance Seven: A Very Dark Place by The Ephemeral Man<\/a>, Big Strings Attached, Oct. 2018 by Abigail Ward<\/a>, and XLR8R Podcast 564 by Niagara<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Haute Macabre: Conjured from obscurity: lost, neglected and forgotten literature from Valancourt Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Feathered Bough<\/em><\/a>, a large-format collection of new fiction and art by Stephen J.
