Countdown to Cthulhu: Someday Something's Coming

Weird... I lost a week.

I can't seem to remember much of what's gone on in the week since my last Countdown to Cthulhu post. I do feel well-rested. And I recall accomplishing quite a bit of reading. Writing, even. And there were ferns, lots of ferns. Was I on vacation or something?

Whatever it was, I'm back now. According to my wife, a lean, dark, curiously foreign-looking man called in an automobile. He hauled in an curious device--she thought it was some sort of antique record player--looking like a queer mixture of rods, wheels, and mirrors.... And then, I was back!

Whoops, no... that wasn't me, that was Peaslee.



I actually spent far too much of the week agonizing over the grim state of the book business, and lamenting the fact that The Book of Cthulhu will never be stocked by Borders (because Borders has been eaten by a dhole), which is why I spent the week feeling like Lovecraft in Brooklyn (c'mon, sing along)...

I'm feeling much better today.

Why?

Because you can now take a peek inside The Book of Cthulhu at Amazon.com. Presumably, you will then feel inspired to track down a copy of the book at your local, independent bookseller once it hits the streets.



What's more, The Book of Cthulhu ARCs are now officially in the wild. And digitally available to reviewers, librarians, and literary tastemakers through Netgalley.



And soon... September 1, 2011, the stars will be right...
