It’s not at all nice to contribute to the growing insanity of a newbie. I’m going to have nightmares about this, I want you to know… \*\* I’m such a stinker. But I couldn’t resist. I present to you, my fellow Lovecraftian, [Ichor! : The Musical](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145635)! ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by CthulhuSpawn \* > **My favorite author is dead and unless I can get ahold of his essential saltes, he isn’t going to be writing anything else. \*grumble** grumble\*\*grumble_ \*\* Ye foole! Think ye LoveCraft be truly dead? Hast thou seen his coffin and him in it? He is not dead. He is but gone. LoveCraft abides at Koth. There he waits for the day when the gates are breached and ancient and terrible gods rush in to reclaim the world that was once theirs! Anent Cert Other Matters- I have found that Mignola’s treatment of LoveCraft’s work hast been quite excellent. Yet if the lords of the House of Arkham have assured him saftey from the dread Khopi Rites and allowed Mignola to continue LoveCraft’s work openly, I have not seen nor heard it. Concerning Innsmouth And Certain Of Its Practices- The Deep Ones demanded that the villagers interbreed with them. The humans accepted. The town is now composed of hybrids. Though they be scorned and feared by common folk, they are wise and strong in body. I have had it mind to attempt like experiments. So I ask you. daughter spawn of Cthulhu- How you doin? ---

> [@](#): > > Ye foole! Think ye LoveCraft be truly dead? Hast thou seen his coffin and him in it? He is not dead. He is but gone. True. For is it not written “That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die”? I was foolish to think otherwise. > [@](#): > > So I ask you. daughter spawn of Cthulhu- > How you doin? Sorry, but I’m saving myself for that yummy Nyarlathotep. ---

Well, I’m always happy to help answer any question! Especially if it relates to Lovecraft in some way. [sub]And if it doesn’t relate, I can _make_ it relate…[/sub] ---

I know you specifically asked about books, but I just wanted to point out that _Farscape_ fans have produced an actual commercial to try and save the show. See [Redirecting...](http://www.watchfarscape.com/news/article.php?newsid=157) To heck with letter writing campaigns and petitions, we’re going mass media! 😃 ---
