Countdown to Cthulhu: Monday Meditations

Monday, already? This weekend fleeted by so fast, it makes me want to step back a little bit and meditate on where the last couple of days went. And I'm sure I can't be the only one.

Speaking of meditation, my friend Tiff, who lives in Merseyside, UK (and is therefore a near-neighbor to The Book of Cthulhu contributor Ramsey Campbell), sent along this snapshot of a contemplative Cthulhu. Om mani Cthulhu fhtagn!

Saturday was The Book of Cthulhu contributor Thomas Ligotti's birthday. In tribute and supplication, fellow contributor Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. took to YouTube with the following birthday wishes:

Elsewhere on the Internets, The Book of Cthulhu contributor Silvia Moreno-Garcia posted a story at Innsmouth Free Press sure to strike fear in the hearts of ichthyophobes everywhere: Found on the Net: Fish Invasion

Over at Wired.com, The Book of Cthulhu contributor Bruce Sterling has begun annotating Lovecraft's Commonplace Book through the lens of 21st century technology.



This weekend, I stumbled onto the FREE H. P. Lovecraft eBook created by the crafter of crocheted Cthulhus known as Cthulhu Chick. CC's had a little bit of trouble of late with pirates and cross-circuited Amazon.com reviews, so if you're so inclined, drop by and download The Free Complete Works of H. P. Lovecraft for your Kindle (also available for a buck by clicking on the picture above), Nook, Kobo, or other e-reading device, and if you dig it, leave a rave review.

And if a crocheted Cthulhu isn't cute or sweet enough for you, there are always Lovecraftian Lollypops.
