El 3 de noviembre de 1927 el escritor norteamericano H.P. Lovecraft relataría por carta a su amigo y corresponsal literario Donald Wandrei,uno de sus más recientes y vívidos sueños, una travesía épica por el mundo onírico, cuyos parajes ignotos le habian sido negados cada vez con mayor frecuencia al alcanzar la madurez. A menudo Lovecraft se referiría a sus sueños como un universo paralelo, en el que las proezas de los onironautas eran solo equiparables a los heroes de antaño, capaces de construir aventuras y ciudades perladas de maravillas o de padecer los horrores innombrables de la ignota oscuridad, una vía de comunicación con extrañas entidades que habitaban rincones olvidados del cosmos más allá del tiempo y el espacio... Y en nuestro viaje por las tierras del sueño de esta noche, Pero incluso si se trataba de un sueño fragmentado,, el relato llegaría a publicarse en la revista Scienti-Snaps años después de la muerte de Lovecraft;,, en el verano de 1940.

Raiders of the Universes by Donald Wandrei audiobook. It was the 34th century and all five of the Federation of Planets around Sol were buzzing with their usual activity when the Raiders appeared. They were indeed Raiders of Universes because they had ravaged many systems before reaching Earth and showed no signs of slowing down in the least. Their weapons were invincible, their greed merciless and their natures completely alien. Indeed 'they' were from another dimension entirely. Eating up entire solar systems and planets, they slowed down just a bit when intelligent life was found on Earth. Not much since they were in a hurry, but just long enough to tell the Earthlings to mine all the Radium ore on Earth and put it conveniently on the surface ...... in six days....or else. -

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Though written in 1927, H.P. Lovecraft’s horror novel, THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD, was not published until many years after his passing. Being somewhat disappointed with the work, Lovecraft did little to publish it. And when he came down with cancer, the work would be put further on the back burner. However, in 1941, the story was released as a two part anthology in WEIRD TALES and only to be fully published in 1943 from Arkham House Press by Lovecraft’s friends, fellow authors August Derleth and Donald Wandrei. The year is 1928. The young bourgeois Charles Dexter Ward discovers in his family tree the existence of a less savory character on his mother’s side of the family. The ancestor, Joseph Curwen, who’s origins came from Salem, Massachusetts, died mysteriously in a torch-and-pitchfork attack upon his property in 1771 in Providence, Rhode Island. While researching the history behind the black sheep of his family, Charles soon finds a dark secret that will change his life forever. Being one of his largest works, THE CASE OF CHARLES DEXTER WARD is often overlooked by the casual reader since it usually isn’t included in his short story collections. But it may actually be his greatest work. The same length as Stephen King’s CARRIE, the novel shows a more interesting side of Lovecraft more known for his lengthy short stories. Dark Discussions takes a look at this magnificent work and gives their thoughts.

In the central pair of its six legs it bore a crushed, flattened, distorted, bloodless thing, riddled with a million punctures, and in places seared as with some pungent acid. Only the mangled head of the victim, lolling upside down at one side, revealed that it represented something once human.   The monster itself needed no title for one who had seen a certain hellish photograph.

It is one of five stories Lovecraft revised for Heald. The story has been reprinted in several collections, such as The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions The tale concerns the relationship between Stephen Jones and George Rogers, the owner of a private wax museum specialising in the grotesque. Initially cordial, it degenerates as Jones first mocks Rogers then comes to suspect that he is demented with his "wild tales and suggestions of rites and sacrifices to nameless elder gods". Jones takes up Rogers's standing offer to spend a night in the museum and is attacked by his host, who is in turn killed by the entity Rhan-Tegoth that he has been making sacrifices to, and ends up becoming part of the displays. We cover this story in the third season.   Rhan-Tegoth is an amphibious ape and insect like Great Old One featured in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Horror in the Museum." It has a large globular torso with six limbs ending in crab like claws. Atop it is a sphere like head with three eyes and a foot long trunk. It also has gills. The Rhan-Tegoth is also covered with small tentacles over most of its body. It came from Yuggoth and is probably related to or a child of Shub-Niggurath, the Goat with a Thousand Young. It kills its sacrifices by half crushing them and puncturing them with its tentacles. It then sucks away the face   Rhan-Tegoth at one time lived in a massive temple in the northern areas of the Arctic. A huge staircase of non human size reached down three levels to a large room where Rhan-Tegoth sat on a large Ivory Throne. There he was fed prehuman sacrifices by unknown entities over three million years ago. Without the sacrifices the thing goes into a deep sleep that only more sacrifices can break. Somehow the long ritual in the eighth Nuh-cot-ick Manuscripts gives some clue as how to discover this temple.   We had audio of Ken Hite, But Mea Culpa. Due to operator malfunction I lost a huge chunk of audio that I haven't been able to recover.

The globular torso—the bubble-like suggestion of a head—the three fishy eyes—the foot-long proboscis—the bulging gills—the monstrous capillation of asp-like suckers—the six sinuous limbs with their black paws and crab-like claws—God! the familiarity of that black paw ending in a crab-like claw! . . .   RAN Tug oth The Poetry of Donald Wandrei     This episode is brought to you by  bunny slippers dot comj Subscribe to PGttCM with DB Spitzer and Sara Fee wherever you subscribe to podcasts, we use podbean and apple podcasts some folks use stitcher.   Check out our new website over at WWW.PGttCM.com!

It is one of five stories Lovecraft revised for Heald. The story has been reprinted in several collections, such as The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions The tale concerns the relationship between Stephen Jones and George Rogers, the owner of a private wax museum specialising in the grotesque. Initially cordial, it degenerates as Jones first mocks Rogers then comes to suspect that he is demented with his "wild tales and suggestions of rites and sacrifices to nameless elder gods". Jones takes up Rogers's standing offer to spend a night in the museum and is attacked by his host, who is in turn killed by the entity Rhan-Tegoth that he has been making sacrifices to, and ends up becoming part of the displays. We cover this story in the third season.   Rhan-Tegoth is an amphibious ape and insect like Great Old One featured in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Horror in the Museum." It has a large globular torso with six limbs ending in crab like claws. Atop it is a sphere like head with three eyes and a foot long trunk. It also has gills. The Rhan-Tegoth is also covered with small tentacles over most of its body. It came from Yuggoth and is probably related to or a child of Shub-Niggurath, the Goat with a Thousand Young. It kills its sacrifices by half crushing them and puncturing them with its tentacles. It then sucks away the face   Rhan-Tegoth at one time lived in a massive temple in the northern areas of the Arctic. A huge staircase of non human size reached down three levels to a large room where Rhan-Tegoth sat on a large Ivory Throne. There he was fed prehuman sacrifices by unknown entities over three million years ago. Without the sacrifices the thing goes into a deep sleep that only more sacrifices can break. Somehow the long ritual in the eighth Nuh-cot-ick Manuscripts gives some clue as how to discover this temple.   We had audio of Ken Hite, But Mea Culpa.

Today the guys get into a little literary criticism as they discuss an article that Chris wrote for Touchstone Magazine years ago comparing C. S. Lewis and H. P Lovecraft. Most listeners to The Theology Pugcast are likely to be familiar with C. S. Lewis and his fiction--particularly the Chronicles of Narnia and the space trilogy. Fewer are likely to know about Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos, nevertheless it is hard to miss Lovecraft's influence on popular culture which can be felt in everything from a film like Alien to the writing of Stephen King. It is Chris's belief that Lewis may have even read Lovecraft for himself (they were near contemporaries and Lewis not only read for pulp magazines, he wrote for them.) This may seem like a far country from recent discussions on the podcast, but as Chris, Tom, and Glenn talk, you'll see that it is not. Just a couple of corrections, first, Chris erroneously refers to Ark House as the posthumous publisher of Lovecraft's stories--the correct name is Arkham House. (Chris knew that, but you know it goes--aging and all.) And in response to Glenn's question concerning the founders of Arkham House, the publishers were: August Derleth and Donald Wandrei.

Hoi and Jeff discuss H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness & Other Tales of Terror with special guest Bob “The Voice” Brinkman! Given H.P. Lovecraft’s omnipresence today, it’s easy to forget that he had largely faded out of reading public’s mind within a few years of his death in 1937. August Derleth and Donald Wandrei did their best to keep Lovecraft in print by founding the small press Arkham House in 1939, but the publishing house’s output for its first 20 years was mostly limited to high quality hardcovers in short print runs. Arkham House was often on tenuous financial footing from its very founding, but the snowballing revival of interest in Lovecraft’s Weird Tales compatriot Robert E. Howard in the 1960s seems to have also raised Lovecraft’s visibility. Arkham House seized the opportunity by releasing three newly re-edited omnibus volumes of Lovecraft’s fiction, The Dunwich Horror & Others (1963, revised 1985), At the Mountains of Madness & Other Novels (1964, revised 1986), and Dagon & Other Macabre Tales (1965, revised 1986) and then licensing the stories for paperback publication. At the Mountains of Madness & Other Tales of Terror (Beagle/Ballantine Books, 1971) was a slimmed-down version of the Arkham House hardcover and featured the novel At the Mountains of Madness and the short stories “The Shunned House”, “Dreams in the Witch-House”, and “The Statement of Randolph Carter”.

For this episode of Historically Yours, School of Library and Information Science graduate student Kathryn Heffner reads a typed letter on Arkham House letterhead with details relating to what it took to get HP Lovecraft published during World War II, both figuratively and literally.   Letter: Msc0429, Thomas Ollive Mabbott Papers August Derleth to Thomas Ollive Mabbott   9 June 1943     Dear Mr. Mabbott:Many thanks for your card. However, Dyalhis is dead, I understand. What with WPB paper restrictions, slowness of the fans to buy, etc., half our authors will be dead and we’ll have trouble with their estates before we can public the books we want to do. For instance, we have Whitehead’s JUMBEE AND OTHER UNCANNY TALES ready to go, but we can’t get a release for the estate, nor could we get enough paper for even so little as 1000 copies! If we were to publish it now, we could get paper enough for 900 copies, but then we couldn’t publish the 2nd Lovecraft. As it is, we’ll probably have to publish half the Lovecraft edition this autumn, and then the other half after January 1st, if we can’t get enough paper released so that we can use it. We also have coming Donald Wandrei’s THE EYE AND THE FINGER, but this, too, is likely to be held back until 1945, unless we can get the paper for this second Lovecraft, which will in any case be delayed into later September.All best wishes to you.Sincerely,[Signature]     Guest: Kathryn E.
