Hey, kids, it’s 2013! We’ve got a slightly different column format this year, but that doesn’t mean good old Found on the Net is disappearing. Well, what have I got for you this January? A special Lovecraft issue from The Revelator.
According to its website, The Revelator was first published in 1876 and has been published ever since then in a variety of formats. Matthew Cheney and Eric Schaller are the current editors. The Lovecraft issue includes work by Laird Barron, Meghan McCarron
and Nick Mamatas. There is also some other content, such as some Whisperer in Darkness pictures and the like. As the editors explain:
“The spirit of Lovecraft infuses this issue in ways we never could have anticipated. Sometimes the Lovecraftian link is obvious, sometimes subtle, sometimes serving as inspiration, sometimes as something to rebel against. In short, we had no choice as to our theme. Appearances be damned!”
It’s also all a good time to mention that Fiddleback, an underground literature publication, is currently looking for Lovecrafty stories for a special issue. Open until January 15.
