In the mailbox. Yes. In a plain brown slightly-crinkled wrapper, wedged between a poetry book and an advertisement for TV GUIDE, LOLCRAFT (see December 29, et al.) lay, lurking, late Thursday afternoon. Rescued, lifted out, opened that evening, a hefty 392 pages of Eldritch Humor (not “Eldritch Horror” as an earlier, erroneous cover picture has it [e.g., right below], although of course it is horror too!), Dragon Roost Press’s promised anthology at last had come!
My story in this, number six in a lineup of three dozen, is titled “The Reading,” one of six reprints originally published in UNIVERSE HORRIBLIS by Third Flatiron Publishing in 2013. While, edited by Michael Cieslak, the volume, in toto, attempts the question (as per the back cover):
Horror and Humor.
Mythos and Mirth.
Lovecraft and Laughter.
Each creates tension, then releases it with explosive results.
Still, Cthulhu and Comedy? Is that even possible?
