"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."

This Eldritch Dadaist Absurdist Agitprop has been sponsored by
The Noir Gnosis Pheasant Agitators Theatre
The blend of Leninist Agitprop and Lovecraftian inspired Occultism/Mysticism, seemed like an interesting jumping off point for some Dadaist messing about. The fact that this week, Eldritch Friday is also Black Friday, creates additional context to play with. The madness of rampant/rabid consumerism seems close to the madness of those who look too deeply into the abyss of cosmic horror. Is Agitprop that different from the fake news, advertising, and spam that crawls across the internet (The Hounds of Tindalos braying from non-Euclidean corners and curves)?
I'm showing you this--from a publisher, not self-publishing...not just 'cause it includes 30% off on my story collection REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WEIRD STORIES and my poetry collection THE VOICE OF THE BURNING HOUSE, but because it includes Adam Bolivar's groundbreaking A WHEEL OF RAVENS, a book of stories by Robert W Chambers, a biography of HP Lovecraft, and many, many other weird treasures.

The Potent Night Glove
This Dadaist Collage Prose Poem is a what if alternative history artifact. A prose poem by that well-known experimental Dadaist, H. P. Lovecraft.
The thing about CTHULHU that's under appreciated is--how good he would taste as seafood. Some of his tentacles were actually cut off in a fight and they were delicious. The People's Republic of China folks, with their love for exotic meats, are trying to catch Cthulhu to use for a huge seafood feast. And I do not blame them. Really. Cthulhu? Yes.

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we look at the 2016 artist edition of THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE by H. P. Lovecraft and Amy Borezo, and meditate on fancy Lovecraftian editions.
I’ve been getting back into #CallOfCthulhu lately, after a decades long absence from running that game. I missed out on the chance to run another face to face game this weekend because of my workload, but I look forward to more sessions in the future 😊
H. P. Lovecraft claimed his friend Edith Miniter was offered the chance to revise Bram Stoker's Dracula. This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein, find out everything we know - and don't know - about this claim.
