LOVECRAFT ILLUSTRATED soon to crawl forth from PS Publishing! Ia!!

Now, as many of ye know full well, I am a very serious Lovecraftian.  When it comes to H. P. Lovecraft as an author, y'all better shew him some respect.  Thus, when I first began to witness ye artwork of Pete Von Sholly, I was confused and slightly annoy'd.  I mean, I digs me artwork that illustrates these stories that I love so much -- but this artist had such a perverse sense of whimsy that rather disconcerted me.  And when I look at ye above spread from THE DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE, one particular illustration evokes from my antique lips a soft murmur of, "oy gevalt...."  But I can say with all honesty that I have become a fan.  And I became so excited when PS Publishing [www.pspublishing.co.uk] announc'd their initial nine volumes of LOVECRAFT ILLUSTRATED, I was delighted.  I became really excited, and I arranged with S. T. Joshi (who has written new Introductions for all nine volumes) to buy the series directly from him when he got his extra copies.  Then I got invited to write essay for some few volumes, and thus I get free contributor copies of all nine volumes, Yok-Sotot!!    Speaking of Yog-Sothoth:

I am overjoy'd to be a part of this series.  I love essays concerning the fiction of E'ch-Pi-El as much as I adore artwork that illustrates it, and for some of these volumes, the books will be filled out with essays old and new concerning the story of that particular volume.  I have written new original essays for THE CALL OF CTHULHU, THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE, and THE SHADOW OUT OF TIME; & for THE DUNWICH HORROR, one of my old essays from TALES OF LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR will be reprinted.  The first three volumes, soon to be available, will consist of THE DREAM-QUEST OF

UNKNOWN KADATH, THE DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE, and THE DUNWICH HORROR.  The text for each tale will be the Corrected Text of S. T. Joshi.  Looks like a fun series, wee volumes that overflow with colourful artwork and scintillating critical essays.  Go ye to PS Publishing, bitches, and order!
