Edward Guimont received a PhD in history from the University of Connecticut and is now assistant professor of world history at Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts. He has written several articles dealing with Lovecraft and his stories. He is also interested in the historical development of the modern flat earth movement.Horace Smith is emeritus professor of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University. He has a BA degree from Wesleyan University and a PhD in astronomy from Yale. Horace is author or coauthor of seven books and numerous scientific papers. He began to read the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft around 1970, and became intrigued by the role of astronomy in the development of Lovecraft's thinking.WHEN THE STARS ARE RIGHT: H. P. LOVECRAFT AND ASTRONOMY is the brand new book from Dr. Guimont and Professor Smith. In it they probe the astronomical interests of one of horror/sci-fi's most influential authors, H. P. Lovecraft.More about the book here: https://www.hippocampuspress.com/other-authors/nonfiction/when-the-stars-are-right-h.-p.-lovecraft-and-astronomy"Lovecraft was a devotee of astronomy from the age of eleven, when he first discovered the 'myriad suns and worlds of infinite space.' He immediately began reading astronomy books, going to Brown University's Ladd Observatory to gaze at the stars, and doing his own astronomical observations from a 3″ telescope that his mother purchased for him. Soon he was writing astronomy columns for local newspapers.Lovecraft's passion for astronomy is a major component of his life, thought, and literary work, but until now it has never been extensively examined. This important topic has now been treated in an exhaustive treatise written by two authorities on the subject, Edward Guimont and Horace A. Smith.The authors probe the origin and development of Lovecraft's astronomical interests, his studies of the moon, Venus, Mars, and other objects in the solar system, his fascination with a 'trans-Neptunian planet' (discovered in 1930 and named Pluto), and his conjectures as to what might lie in the farthest gulfs of the cosmos. Along the way they examine such crucial texts as 'The Colour out of Space,' 'In the Walls of Eryx,' and the handwritten astronomy journals and pamphlets that Lovecraft wrote as a boy. They make emphatically clear that astronomy was a central element in Lovecraft's life and a vital component of his weird fiction."Dr. Guimont and Prof. Smith (a good friend and previous guest of the show) visit with Talking Weird to chat about previously unexplored connections between Lovecraft's work and his love of astronomy.This is going to be a fascinating episode that you do not want to miss!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4602609/advertisement

Good to see you again. In this episode, Tim is joined by Gabriel Fuentes to help co-host a long talk about the Eldritch horrors known as the Great Old Ones from the Cthulu Mythos. There are so many of these madness-inducing entities that we barely scratch the surface, but it's interesting to see just how varied and quite frankly bizarre they can be. The backbone of Lovecraft's Mythos is the philosophy of Cosmicism, in which can be defined as us living in an uncaring and indifferent universe where humanity isn't even really remotely capable of grasping the big picture of the cosmos, and on the grand scheme of things, humans are no better than insects. This dark philosophy echoes throughout Lovecraft's work, but should not be confused with nihilism. What it really comes down to is the nightmarish reality of Cosmic Horror in Lovecraft's mind was a mirror of his fear of the unknown. So buckle up because it's time to get weird. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”

Mage’s premise assumes humanity and the characters matter. What if the universe doesn't care? Terry Robinson and Josh Heath, COO of High Level Games and host of Werewolf: The Podcast discuss cosmicism, the belief that there is no divine presence and that humanity is particularly insignificant.

In this episode, we're going to delve into H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulu Mythos featuring the Outer Gods. Cosmic Horror is an important sub-genre of Horror, which can also be defined as Lovecraftian Horror, Eldritch Horror, or Cosmicism. Cosmic Horror is heavily influenced by the philosophy of Existential Nihilism, and Philosophical Pessimism, with a consistent theme of madness to those who view what their minds aren't ready to comprehend. In Lovecraft's mythos universe human beings are entirely insignificant and inconsequential on a cosmic scale. With countless civilizations throughout the universe coming and going in meaningless existences under the watchful eyes of entities so ancient and powerful we humans seem less than ants to them in comparison. Lovecraft's writings would spark an obsession that is still very prominent till this day, and Tim will go into detail of the most powerful of these Lovecraftian horrors, the Outer Gods. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the madness. "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft
