As there was some discussion on Lovecraft's attitude towards women in the recent past, I figure now's as good a time as any to post this. Dark Regions Press has started an IndieGoGo campaign for Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror. DRP anthologies have always been top-notch (in terms of both contents and construction) in my experience, so I expect this will be a great read.

Dienes posted:They made their goal and you can pre-order the book now. All female authors, all the stories with prominent female characters. Should be awesome! That's a different book.

Lovecraft is out as the face of the World Fantasy Award.

I don't really know what to say to anyone that doesn't support changing the look of the award. There's no good argument in favor of handing authors of color an award that is modeled after a person that would view them as subhuman. It was also weird to model the World Fantasy Award after a man that is almost entirely associated with a different genre. If the powers that be HAD to model it after a deceased pulp-era author, Clark Ashton Smith or Robert E. Howard were much more logical choices (though Howard also has some racist baggage).
