Topic: Lovecraftianism


In the News (Thu 8 Jan 09)

  
 Lovecraftian horror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Call of Cthulhu, a role playing game which has seen many revisions, conversions and adaptations, is directly based on the Cthulhu mythos and strives for Lovecraftian horror.
In 1987, The Lurking Horror was the first to bring the Lovecraftian horror sub-genre to the multiple computer platforms.
In the seminal 3D first person shooter, Quake in 1996, environments, creatures (including names such as Shub-Niggurath), and the atmosphere of the game were very Lovecraftian, with the architecture of the otherworldly dimension resembling many of Lovecraft's descriptions of ancient ruins and alien worlds.

 NO-EYED MONSTER #14 - Page 36 - On Cthulhuthian Eschatology (parts I - IV) - Fred Phillips
In the opinion of the distinugished Lovecraftian scholar, Lin Carter, nearly the same kind of distortion which the post-Leninist interpreters have effected with Marx's dialectical materialism has been achieved with the literature of H. Lovecraft by what is called "The Lovecraftian Cult".
In fact, it may be ridiculous for one who purports to be a Lovecraftian scholar to look for loopholes like the geological definition of "eon", because the popular critical assumption regarding Lovecraft's use of the word was, indeed, "a period of time of indeterminate length", which gets him off the hook quite neatly.
It is variously spoken of as "R'lyehthianism" or "Chtulhuthianism" and must not be confused with "Lovecraftianism", sometimes called the "Lovecraft Cult", which refers to that small body of readers and devotees of Lovecraft's writings.

 The Sword of Horus - Kenneth Grant and Maggie Cook, Part 4
It is not the Lovecraftian "Old Gods" or "Old Ones" that he wishes to bring into our universe - he is doing his very best to give control of our universe to the qliphothic forces and the Black Brotherhood.
To this end he uses confusion, the understandable ignorance of students, and misleads by mixing fact with fiction and presenting it all as truth absolute.
If an apparent authority figure says it will help to take an axe to one's skull they very often cleave their skulls in twain, too lazy to think for themselves, too insecure to trust in their own judgment.

 princeofcairo: Canadian Cosmic Horror Content   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The notion that Robert Charles Wilson, whose Darwinia, Chronoliths, and Mysterium all impressed me mightily with their conceit and their intellectual bravery, had written a linked collection of short stories that could be read as a Lovecraftian exercise interested me strangely.
I would argue, at least as a starting place, that Move Under Ground is a satisfactory version of the more common sort of worthwhile Mythos story, in which the author finds one facet of the Mythos that can be shaped to cover the story they actually wanted to write.
A smattering of sample phrases, one from (almost) each story: "entities that live and evolve entirely in the logarithms of computers, the high alps of the gnososphere"; "the ideal paracartographical map charts not a territory but a mind, or at least it merges the two"; "One doesn't have to understand in order to look.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Vellum
Actually, "enjoying sheer brilliance in progress" would probably be more adequate: Vellum is definitely the most interesting, original and challenging of all the books that have emerged among the recent wave of genre-bending sf/fantasy/horror-novels.
It takes a lot of its cues from Cyberpunk, even more from ancient mythology, and manages to seamlessly weave in elements of fairy tale, Steampunk and Lovecraftianism.
This may sound as if the author had crammed in every genre element he could think of to get his novel across as "weird." The opposite is true: Vellum is incredibly structured and focused.

16 or 17 and inebriated on the Lovecraftian style, I set out to write the densest piece of prose I could possibly write.
I neglected, however, to come up with a worthwhile story, and so this is overall not worth reading unless you really love dense writing.
Try Khoros for a better minotaur story, and Dark Resurrection for a better example of my attempts at Lovecraftianism.

Kelly, who had such wonderful disdain for young people, that I can't help not wanting to evolve.
Anyway, my logic for this overall deduction is lacking in Lovecraftianism, true, but Lovecraft is not the be-all and end-all of the Mythos.
If you take the ultimate extremes of the Mythos, it predates him by 50 years (Poe, Machen, HG Wells), and has long since survived him.
