Lovecraftian reading fun
Dorman T. Schindler has written up a little piece over at STLtoday.com about some horror, sci-fi, and fantasy novels, anthologies, and collections. Why post about this? Theres a brief reference to Lovecraft in there:
Part spy novel, part Lovecraft homage, “The Jennifer Morgue” is great fun for tongue-in-cheek, armchair adventurers. Along with the full-fledged novel, this book includes a short story and an essay as well.
Check out the article. Maybe your reading list will become just a bit longer. ![]()

Just finished Stross’ Accelerando, which was an incredible read (I’ll review it soon on MoF). I’ve been looking forward to The Jennifer Morgue–just ordered it from Amazon. Stross is very versatile–Accelerando is CyberPunk on nanotech self-replicating meth-laced steroids. Have you read The Jennifer Morgue yet?

I have not yet read the Jennifer Morgue. Not only do I have most of my free week day time taken up by the comic, but I have a huge stack of books to read through. Among them are “Understanding Comics!” (thank you very much, John!), “Lurker in the Lobby”, “Songs of Cthulhu”, “Nameless Cults” (Mythos fiction by Robert E. Howard (of Conan the Barbarian/Cimmerian fame)), “The Yellow Sign” (Robert M. Chambers), and “H.P. Lovecraft’s Favorite Weird Tales” just to name a few.
Maybe you can let me know how it is, and I’ll add it to my list.
