"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."
Mes amis de la HPL Historical Society (je sais, j'ai beaucoup d'amis dans des endroits bizarres...) viennent de publier leur version audio de "The Shunned House" ("La Maison abandonnée", dans ma traduction) et c'est vraiment génial. Les mecs sont brillants ! Et en plus je suis dans les remerciements avec mon autre ami Arnaud Duroy parce qu'on les a aidés pour quelques passages en vieux français. Allez, venez frémir et vibrer avec nous ! C'est disponible ici :

Well I guess I've been here for a bit, should do one o' them #introduction posts or something so here goes:
I am a gigantic fucking #nerd/#geek. Expect any kind of random topic. #gaming? Been playing #games for 30+ years now. #Comics? Absolutely. Not so much DC, but anything #Marvel or damned near any other company.
Not big on sports aside from #prowrestling (which I post tons of news on kbin.socials #squaredcircle magazine).
Aside from that, I'm #Canadian, a #millenial, have a deep seething hatred for 99% of humanity and commit myself to daily rituals to try and assist with the waking of ancient eldritch beings to hopefully come end us all. I also #bake a lot and love cookies.
Bonne nouvelle : 3ème réimpression du 2ème volume de l Intégrale Lovecraft (chez Mnemos) en moins de deux ans, c’est dingue !
Merci à vous :)
Il me tarde de reprendre la traduction de la correspondance entre Robert E. Howard et Lovecraft :)
L’aventure continue !
If I had disposable income... I'd pay someone on Fiverr to do this. Last "Call of C'thulhu" I listened to had a British accent. Was good. #books#reading#Lovecraft#cthulhu
