I hope this doesn't come off as intrusive but I have a project that I think would be of interest to this thread. https://www.bookofstarrywisdom.com  Being a lifelong Lovecraft fan, I've always wanted to see his stories given a treatment like the forbidden tomes he described.The heart of the book are those three stories, Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu, and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Fully illustrated and bound in a hardcover, faux-leather cover edition accompanied by essays that relate to the original stories. This is a book that will spark unsettling conversation on a coffee table or amongst the moldering tomes of a forbidden library. I chose my contributing essayists carefully, to provide diverse and interesting new viewpoints on the source material stories. I think they all succeeded admirably in creating entries that gently blur the line between fact and fiction, as if Lovecraft's works were not just stories.  I've been working on this for quite a while and my Kickstarter is chugging along nicely. I had the pleasure of promoting it at the Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon, earlier this month and received a great response. Incidentally, the Fest is a tremendously fun event and I highly recommend attending if you ever get the chance!

Mad Hamish posted:If I can ask, why did you go with Starry Wisdom? If its specific to the Cthulhu stories I almost think the Rl'yeh Texts would make more sense? It felt evocative of "The Stars Coming Right" and the prevalence of Cthulhu's name across Mythos cults and texts as referenced by Lovecraft. If I do a Nyarlathotep themed collection in the future I will probably kick myself for this, though.
