I must say the more I read through the Necronomicon the more it makes August Derleth's Trail of Cthulhu seem like an average fan-fic, and I really enjoyed it at the time. Still loads left to get through but what I've read so far has been superb.

H.P.Lc is da man.


Hmm. Well considering the Elder Gods pantheon was Lovecraft working with a whole slew of different authors who added their own Gods and so forth to it, BLAH! Derleth worked with Lovecraft on quite a few things before old LC carked it.

Yes, reading that back I didn't mean to sound so harsh on Derleth, just wanted to big up Lovecraft really,

Who else would you recommend from the other collaborators, Dimrill?

Interesting (and very long) New Yorker article on Del Toro:

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011 ... ntPage=all

Interesting titbits on his original vision for The Hobbit and what he's up to with regards to 'The Mountains of Madness'.

Jumped back into the Necronomicon last night and thoroughly enjoyed reading 'The Colour Out of Space'. One of the best stories of his so far, still over half of the book to go! Excellent value.

Not the same as reading it in a huge tome that hits you in the face when you're reading it led down though.

The PDF looks gash the way it's all set in a sans-serif font. :nerd:

Can you change the font on Kindles etc?

Usually, yes, although it depends how the file is set up. I'm quite happy with my Kindle eBook of the Necronomicon, it was only a tenner or so.

Worth bearing in mind that The Necronomicon is not complete, hence Necronomicon 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Good point. I was wondering what this mega-edition might have in it that isn't in the Necronomicon volume, and I'm guessing the answer is "quite a bit" then.

That's a bit "meh" though, reading the reviews. I've only read about half the stories in the Necronomicon, so I don't feel a burning desire to own more!

Swirling Vortex you say? Green you say? Spotted on Saturn's moon you say?

I'd say it was the Mi-Go or the Star Vampires. :zombie:

That's well nice.

Also: didn't the header say "Lovecraftian..." originally? I like that word.
