“a strange half-mad world of quasi-material substance”

Please hold

Hello everyone,

This week flew by, and I was having way too much fun with my niece eating honey cake and celebrating the New Year. Happy 5782, everybody!

So hang tight, the newsletter will keep cooking for another week, until it’s good and crispy.

In the meantime, please enjoy Brown University’s digitized copy of a typescript draft of H.P. Lovecraft’s commonplace book as he prepared it for publication, full of ideas for horror stories, and let me know which one describes you. (Minus the racist ones. Watch out for the super, super racist ones. That’s Lovecraft for you.)

Lovecraft, H.P. (Howard Phillips), "H.P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book" Howard P. Lovecraft collection. Brown Digital Repository. Brown University Library. https://repository.library.brown.edu/studio/item/bdr:926386/ page 5.

This week, I’m “what hatches from primordial egg.” Next week? Who knows.

More soon,

Katie
