Print Edition of The Lovecraft eZine

Got my very first print copy of the Lovecraft eZine in the post today and I must admit I am really impressed with it. For all that a lot of people like to criticize Amazon, the printing of the magazine is excellent and it arrived fast (2 days from ordering) and well packaged. I haven't had time yet to read any of the contents (there's 106 pages of them) it looks really good, with some brilliant illustrations. I'll definitely be getting more print copies of the magazine after this, including the Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire one (the next on my list).

Cthulhu Statues

These replicas of the Cthulhu statue or idol mentioned in Lovecraft's story The Call of Cthulhu, are highly tempting. They're advertised in the Lovecraft eZine and are not too expensive - $65 plus shipping. Standing almost 8 inches tall they are the same size as the one in the story too.

Lovecraft eZine - Print Copies

I was pleased to discover that it's easy (and cheap) to order print copies of the Lovecraft eZine in the UK via Amazon.co.uk. I have just ordered the new issue, number 29. The magazine cost me £4.27 plus £2.75 postage which, at over 100 pages, is not bad.

Fingers crossed that eventually some of the older issues will be available in print, especially number16, which is the only one in which I have a story. 

Audio version - Fish Eye

One of the great things about having a story published in the Lovecraft eZine is that they also do an audio version. I had a story, Fish Eye, published in the 16th issue. This is a link to download the audio version of this story, superbly well read by Vincent LaRosa: http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/lajcaf

The Lovecraft eZine - Seasonal Banner

I love the Lovecraft eZine's "seasonal" banner. It says so much!
