April is the cruellest month, said Mr. Eliot. Well, not in Innsmouth! We officially released Historical Lovecraft on April 20. To celebrate, we organized several contests. Although the time to win a Weetulhu has passed, you can enter the Supernatural-Meets-Lovecraft or the Blogging Buddies contests.
And, now that May has arrived, we have opened the slush doors for Future Lovecraft.
