"Ni la muerte, ni la fatalidad, ni la ansiedad, pueden producir la insoportable desesperación que resulta de perder la propia identidad". H. P. Lovecraft Entre marzo y agosto de 1921, el escritor norteamericano h.p. lovecraftdesplegó todo su atormentado imaginario personal en su relato titulado The Outsider, "El Extraño" publicado por primera vez en la mítica revista Weird Tales en abril de 1926. En una carta, el propio Lovecraft afirmaba que, de entre todos sus cuentos, esta historia es la que más se asemeja al estilo de su ídolo Edgar Allan Poe. Aunque de manera inconsciente, decía haber imitado al Poe de su apogeo, con referencias a Berenice o la Mascara de la Muerte Roja...

No caven mi tumba (Dig Me No Grave) es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), publicado originalmente en la edición de febrero de 1937 en la revista Weird Tales, y luego reeditado por Arkham House en la antología de 1963: El hombre oscuro y otros relatos (The Dark Man and Others). No caven mi tumba, relata la historia de John Conrad y el profesor Kirawan, dos hombre que resuelven pasar la noche en la casa de John Grimlan, un afamado y temido ocultista que acaba de morir recientemente en circunstancias poco claras, y quien ha dejado una serie de misteriosas instrucciones que ambos se proponen seguir. SPOILERS La biblioteca, naturalmente, es la habitación más peligrosa de esta casa embrujada; repleta de murciélagos, velas, corrientes de aire frío y, quizás lo más inquietante, un cadáver sobre la mesa de la biblioteca. Allí, los visitantes leen las peculiares instrucciones dejadas por Grimlan, donde refiere la disposición de sus restos terrenales. No caven mi tumba pertenece a los Mitos de Cthulhu de H.P. Lovecraft, y contiene una gran cantidad de referencias a este ciclo, como la presencia de Yog-Sothoth, Kathulos (Cthulhu), Yuggoth, y los Antiguos. Si bien no se trata de una secuela, No caven mi tumba comparte algunos personajes con otros relato de Robert E. Howard: Los hijos de la noche (The Children of the Night), donde el profesor Kirawan y John Conrad encabezan una animada tertulia que recuerda las hazañas de una antigua raza de humanos que logró vencer a los reptilianos. Lo más interesante de estos dos relatos, a los que podemos sumar: El pueblo de la oscuridad (People of the Dark) y La gente pequeña (The Little People), es que en ellos se percibe la intención de Robert E. Howard de crear una línea alternativa para los Mitos de Cthulhu, donde los reptilianos ocupan un lugar preponderante como la gran raza antigua que luchó contra los seres humanos para propagar sus rasgos genéticos y, de este modo, perpetuar sus odiosas prácticas religiosas en las generaciones posteriores.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Un seul nom : Lovecraft. Difficile d'être un geek en France dans les années 1980 et 1990 sans lire les nouvelles de cet auteur, si possible en pleine nuit, à la lumière d'une lampe de chevet afin d'être emporté par ses folles visions. Et encore aujourd'hui, presque 90 ans après sa mort, c'est galère de ne pas voir que Lovecraft exerce une énorme… oui, une ÉNORME influence sur la culture pop', de Stephen King en passant par Batman ! Oui, parce que l'asile d'Arkham de Gotham City porte le nom d'une ville fictionnelle inventée par Lovecraft… Et ce n'est qu'un exemple, sur des centaines de références cachées, dans des dizaines et des dizaines de romans, BD, films, et jeux vidéos ! Bonne écoute !

A remote New England village. Dark rumours swirl among its lonely hills. Whispers of strange rites, of a family line touched by shadows, haunt the woods and starlit nights. Something stirs where the old stones lie, and the boundary between the known and the unseen begins to thin. In my Halloween tradition, the tale chosen is “The Dunwich Horror”—a story rich in mystery, and alive with Lovecraft's trademark unease. First published in Weird Tales, April 1929. Collected in "The Outsider and Others" by Arkham House, 1939. H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose cosmic horror stories explored the limits of knowledge and the fragility of sanity. His influenced echoes through horror, science fiction, and popular culture to this day.

Created by Robert E. Howard, Kull first appeared in The Shadow Kingdom in 1929, one of the earliest true “sword and sorcery” tales.Howard wrote only a handful of complete Kull stories, but they stand among his most thoughtful and dreamlike works. The best known are The Shadow Kingdom, Kings of the Night, and today's story, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune—a haunting story about the peril of looking too deeply into one's own reflection.You might remember the 1997 movie Kull the Conqueror — starring Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules fame) — which is the only movie explicitly featuring Kull. It was supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian sequel but was reworked into a Kull story when rights issues arose.We will find our story on page 367 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1929, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E.

fWotD Episode 3096: Oriental Stories Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 26 October 2025, is Oriental Stories.Oriental Stories, later retitled The Magic Carpet Magazine, was an American pulp magazine published by Popular Fiction and edited by Farnsworth Wright. It was launched in 1930 under the title Oriental Stories as a companion to Popular Fiction's Weird Tales, and carried stories with far eastern settings, including some fantasy. Contributors included Robert E. Howard, Frank Owen, and E. Hoffman Price. In 1932 publication was paused after the Summer issue; it was relaunched in 1933 under the title The Magic Carpet Magazine, with an expanded editorial policy that now included any story set in an exotic location, including other planets.Some science fiction began to appear alongside the fantasy and adventure material as a result, including work by Edmond Hamilton. Wright obtained stories from H. Bedford Jones, who was a popular pulp writer, and Seabury Quinn. Most of the covers of The Magic Carpet Magazine were by Margaret Brundage, including her first sale; Brundage later became well-known as a cover artist for Weird Tales. Competition from established pulps in the same niche, such as Adventure, was too strong, and after five issues under the new title the magazine ceased publication.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:01 UTC on Sunday, 26 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Oriental Stories on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025!

"Lead Soldiers" is a short story by Robert Barbour Johnson, first published in the December 1935 edition of Weird Tales. "A strange doom closed round the Dictator who sought to achieve his destiny through a bloody war."

Tonight we unseal the twelfth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with The Unnamable — where a crumbling house in Arkham becomes the mouth of something memory cannot name. Two men speak of logic and legend beneath a tombstone's shadow, but the night listens differently. The town sleeps, but the attic does not. It stirs with shifting limbs and forgotten shapes, and beneath the floorboards, something unspoken begins to rise.
