It’s that thing<\/a> again…<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s much to loathe about this time of year\u2014the short and dismal days whose appalling weather will persist until mid-March, the trees denuded at last of their leaves, the Chinese Water Torture of Xmas trivia\u2014but the post this week at least brought some compensations. As well as the copies of Dodgem Logic<\/em><\/a> there was a box of Penguin book cover postcards<\/a> which I won in a Guardian Books giveaway, and also the long-awaited arrival of Frank Woodward’s documentary Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown<\/em><\/a> on DVD. I’ve mentioned this latter work before, of course, but I’ll repeat that it’s the best documentary to date concerning the life and career of HPL, and features several pieces of my own artwork as well as contributions from other fine Lovecraftian illustrators. Among the interviewees are Neil Gaiman, John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, Caitlin R Kiernan, Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell and Lovecraft scholar ST Joshi. The DVD is only Region 1\/NTSC<\/a> at the moment, but is available also as a Blu-ray disc<\/a> if you need to see the aforementioned in high-definition. The film runs for 90-minutes and the disc includes an additional 70-minutes of interviews, a Lovecraft art gallery and more. Essential viewing for all aficionados.<\/p>\n
