    YE BC 3KE OF 2358 < The Aniolowsk’i Collection. VOLUME II All About Monstres This volume contains dozens of new races and individual creatures for use with the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Included here are the following categories: Outer Gods, Elder Gods, Great Old Ones, Great Ones, Avatars, Servitor Races, Independent Races, Fabulous Creatures, and Unique Entities. These monstrous creations have been collected from over ten years of favorite Call of Cthulhu scenarios; others have been created specifically for this book. The darkly imagi- native work of a diverse group of authors is represented here. Where possible each entry begins with a quote describing the monster or entity. Where much about the creature is known, there may be an additional description. If discussing a god, Great One, or Great Old One, notice of any human cult comes next. Further notes discuss habit, habitat, or attack. An essential aid for players, investigators, and keepers. “I saw the form waver from sex to sex, dividing itself from itself, and then again reunited. Then I saw the body descend to the beastsSample whence file it ascended, and that which was on the heights go down to the depths, even to the abyss of all being...

  • Mi-Go 1 Mi-Go
    Mi-go 1 Mi-go An interpretation of the Mi-Go by Ruud Dirven Mi-go ("The Abominable Ones") is a Himalayan nickname for a race of extraterrestrials in the Cthulhu Mythos created by H. P. Lovecraft and others. The name was first applied to the creatures in Lovecraft's short story "The Whisperer in Darkness" (1931), elaborating on a reference to 'What fungi sprout in Yuggoth' in his sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30) which described the contrasting vegetation on alien dream-worlds. Summary The "Mi-go" are large, pinkish, fungoid, crustacean-like entities the size of a man; where a head would be, they have a "convoluted ellipsoid" composed of pyramided, fleshy rings and covered in antennae. According to two reports in the original short story, their bodies consist of a form of matter that does not occur naturally on Earth; for this reason, they do not register on ordinary photographic film. They are capable of going into suspended animation until softened and reheated by the sun or some other source of heat. They are about five feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean-like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. They possess a pair of membranous bat-like wings which are used to fly through the "aether" of outer space (a scientific concept which is now discredited). The wings do not function well on Earth. Several other races in Lovecraft's Mythos also have wings like these. The Mi-go can transport humans from Earth to Pluto (and beyond) and back again by removing the subject's brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", which can be attached to external devices to allow it to see, hear, and speak.

Motifs n° 2 (2017), Matérialité et Écriture READING IN THE CHTUHULUCENE: LOVECRAFT, NEW MATERIALISM AND THE MATERIALITY OF WRITING GIVING LIFE BACK TO MATTER The traditional take on the theme of the materiality of writing asks about the meaning of the material that supports human-made signs. It considers the importance of the dark side of the signifier; of all that one does not take into account when one sees a sign as a sign. It might consider the ways in which written words present one with multiple possible significations, the ways in which the fact of a text’s having been written haunts readers’ engagements with that text. Traditional theorists of the materiality of writing might remind us that this materia- lity really does have a signification, that paper and pixels really do convey meaning.

  • The H. P. Lovecraft Tarot
    The H. P. Lovecraft Tarot This interesting tarot deck was originally published in 1997 in a limited run and sold our fairly quickly, making it one of the most sought-after tarot decks on the market. This is one of the rare cases where you will actually hear these words: "Due to popular demand." This deck is the second printing from 2000, it is a blue deck, the 1st prinitng was red. Collectors take note! Each card in the deck is done in a dark, blue (1st printing) then red (2nd printing). Monochromatic decks appeal to me very much! The image is centered in the card and on the average has a lot of good detail which is easy enough to see. The border is also in the dark blue colour, but there is not enough contrast in this printing to clearly make out the text on the borders. You can see that it is there though, but you have to hold the cards fairly close to the light and angle them around a bit until you have made out each word. In the top center of the border is an eye. Pentacles are on the sides and the title at the bottom; the four corners have the suit icon itself on each card. Fortunately the little booklet has a legend in the back which shows the suit icons more clearly. In this deck, the figures of the Major Arcana are taken from various works of Lovecraft himself. The booklet that comes with this deck stresses that the Major Arcana cards have more power and influence over a reading than the Minor Arcana.

Keirnan has three stories in this anthology, so I decided to review the one that stood out the most to me at the time. The shape of stone carvings of fish men and strange creatures almost frightens him, and a crown that would be something the Dean would want to see. The standard of the stories were generally good but without any truly outstanding contributions. More filters. Pretty weak. Simon Kurt Unsworth dramatises this with a television crew reporting and a cameraman finding unexpected things in the water. Innsmouth Bane, by John Glasby, has Jedediah Allen whose family had settled in Innsmouth back in and prospered until the depression. Stephen Jones is an eighteen-time winner of the British Fantasy Award. Lists with This Book. Book of the Year see all. Details if other :. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Average rating 3. The main reason I am giving this anthology three stars is because overall not a lot of unique things were done with the Innsmouth theme, something the previous anthology seemed to have done better if my memory is correct. Hugh B. Review by Sandra Scholes. The hard-boiled detective story is often teamed up with horror themes nowadays, usually to good effect.
