We have dealt with a lot of stuff this month.

Comments

Adequately Excellent Entertainment

New idea, create another two tiers here on Patreon. This grants access to a bi-weekly 5 minute episode that’s just Lying Vincent Price, and every other week is 5 minutes of just slagging on August Derleth. At the very least we need t-shirts with the podcast logo on the front and “I’VE BEEN DERLATHED!” emblazoned on the back.

The biggest thing I took from Men Without Bones was its similarity to Quatermass and the Pit; the buried ship, conflict with the original inhabitants, the revelation that we are the Martians. It’s all there. QatP also mentions racial memory which here is seen as the revulsion to spiders as echoes of the boneless men. This tale was written before QatP by about 3-4 years. I’m not saying Nigel Kneale ripped it off but it’s possible I guess he’d read it.

Coming from Jacksonville, home of the Jaguars, we say Jag-wires.

I'd like to suggest A Country Doctor, and The Metamorphosis by Kofka for a future reading. Both are relatively short and very weird. The writing style of A Country Doctor lends itself to the whirlwind of hopelessness it becomes, and the metamorphosis starts right out of the gate with a bug man!

Thank you for reading my comment!! Fun episode, great insights from the fans. Keep bashing that Derleth!!!

Hi Chris and Chad! I'm really looking forward to the prospect of the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast's newest community outreach program: D.A.R.E. -- focused on educating others about Derleth's Atrocious Rewriting & Editing. I think it's an incredibly noble cause and valuable program to have in our literary communities. :D You may find a D.A.R.E flyer posted under the Community page...

There was an incredibly ribald book that came out years ago that one of my ex-girlfriends read about the crazy sex antics that went on during the Batman TV show. I will paraphrase the Adam West quote that stuck with me. "I find that it is impossible to autograph a woman's breast without using the other hand to hold it in place". Gotta track down that book!

JPS did write weird fiction, Huis Clos! Could have been a Twilight Zone episode.

Jag-u-er, we stick the schwa everywhere in England.

Wow didn’t expect how The Rat was going to end, but how the main character acted at the end would be something I would do.

This is unrelated to the topic at hand, but my life has just been changed and I figured yours should be as well. We don't know what HPL sounded like in real life as no recording exists, but we do know he was from Rhode Island. Based on this evidence, we can only assume he sounded like Peter Griffin. Just imagine that from now on every time you read his works. Imagine it and despair.

Not sure if this the place to make suggestions, but I have just seen, for the first time, John Carpenter's They Live! (Yep, I know, 53 years old and somehow that one passed me by). Anyway, loved the film, which is based on a short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson. I imagine this has been considered before. Hell, it might even have been covered in the show (I tend to binge listen, then drop out for a while). Anyway, there is a Lovecraftian connection, to the the film at least (according to Wikipedia, anyway): "Because the screenplay was the product of so many sources—a short story, a comic book, and input from cast and crew—Carpenter decided to use the pseudonym "Frank Armitage", an allusion to one of the filmmaker's favorite writers, H. P. Lovecraft (Henry Armitage is a character in Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror).[2] Carpenter has always felt a close kinship with Lovecraft's worldview and according to the director, "Lovecraft wrote about the hidden world, the 'world underneath'. His stories were about gods who are repressed, who were once on Earth and are now coming back. The world underneath has a great deal to do with They Live."

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubblegum.

MR ZEEL

Of course there is a great deal of the 'world underneath' in Clive Barkers work? I mean his Books of Blood short stories (as a suitable source for HPLLP prognostication).

I get more LOLs per hour from you two than any other podcast. You rock, Chad & Chris!!!
