Title: Let's talk about GOOD Lovecraft fanfic
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on June 20, 2008, 04:54:21 PM

:piss In his guild at O'ntario, fat Dyack waits eating :piss2

Gaiman's A Study in Emerald (http://www.neilgaiman.com/mediafiles/exclusive/shortstories/emerald.pdf) is a fantastic Lovecraft/Sherlock Holmes alternate-history mashup.

BOOM! Studio's Fall of Cthulhu is awesome (Eric P can talk this one up).

Gene Wolfe's next book, An Evil Guest (http://www.amazon.com/Evil-Guest-Gene-Wolfe/dp/0765321335/), is LOVECRAFT IN SPACE. This is the best new genre ever. :bow Wolfe :bow2

If you're willing to dive into text adventures, Infocom's The Lurking Horror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lurking_Horror) is a great Cthulhu-at-MIT story, while Anchorhead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorhead_(game)) is a post-Infocom top-5 IF classic.

What else have you read that's Lovecraftian fanfic and PROUD OF IT

Lovecraft was also an incredible racist.

Why settle with just Lovecraft fanfiction when you can have Lovecraft+Sherlock Holmes fanfiction?

There's also a game called Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened that runs with the same idea.
