eldritchhobbitI am trying to be certain I have found all of Neil Gaiman's works directly related to H.P. Lovecraft.
My list at present includes the following:
1. "I Cthulhu: or What’s A Tentacle-Faced Thing Like Me Doing In A Sunken City Like This (Latitude 47 ° 9’ S, Longitude 126 ° 43’ W)?"
* originally published in 1986, now online
2. "Only The End of the World Again"
* originally published in 1994 in Shadows Over Innsmouth
3. "Shoggoth's Old Peculiar"
* originally published in 1998 in The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy
[Both "Only The End of the World Again" and "Shoggoth's Old Peculiar" are also available in Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions]
4. "A Study in Emerald"
* originally published in 2003 in Shadows over Baker Street, now online
* 2004 Hugo Award Winner
Also, there's Neil Gaiman's interview in the 2004 documentary The Eldritch Influence: The Life, Vision and Phenomenon of H.P. Lovecraft
If you know of anything I've missed, please let me know! Thanks so much.
Quotes for the day:
"He simply gave you a vision of an impossibly inhospitable universe in which we are screwed."
"The interesting thing is in Lovecraft, people don't do the wrong thing in the way that you normally do in horror fiction. In horror fiction, you do the wrong thing: you go into the shop and you buy that cat-headed object you probably shouldn't, or whatever, and everything goes bad. In Lovecraft, you simply get a room in a wrong place, move to the wrong town, read the wrong story. You're just screwed."

Date: 2005-06-30 04:14 pm (UTC)1) The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom (He gave this to me almost two years ago and I still haven't had the decency to read it.)
2) My Father's Ghost by Suzy McKee Charnas (I really want to read this before I see him.)
3) Harry Potter 4 & 5
4) All the fabulous stuff you've been leading us off to the past few days.
And then there's rereading War of the Worlds and that Airwolf fanfic... STOP IT! My head is going to explode!!! You can see why I never committed to college. ;-)

Which I found very very funny.
Thanks

Date: 2006-08-21 11:27 am (UTC)I had it sitting on my computer for years but it didn't have an author's name on it. I had to search to find out who wrote it. If your sure it is in Smoke and Mirrors I will order that straight away. I think I hadn't thus far because the preview of the TOC doesn't list it. I think their must be a second page to the contents. That would explain it.

I checked a copy out of the central library back when it was much more expensive ($65); I copied and have been slowly purchasing my way through the bibliography.
I haven't bought any horror in awhile except for a replacement copy of More Not at Night in better condition; must get back into it for Halloween!
