The "Masters of Horror" film version of "Dreams in the Witch House" was quite good.

If you like the cosmic horror, there are other options: the devil's broth but not his meat.

Lovecraft: RPG & More @lovecraftrpg.bsky.social · Mar 22

It does a lot with very little. Well worth the watch.

Pick up a good book of short stories or go back and hit up an anthology of #lovecraft & friends stories.

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we dig deep into the connections between Aleister Crowley and H. P. Lovecraft - and review Crowley's Dunsanian poem, "The Message of Thuba Mleen" (1911).

“The Message of Thuba Mleen” (1911) by Aleister Crowley

Last Gift
by Maisie Nelson Devitt, Powell River

They braided all her long dark hair,
In linen laid her down to rest.
I brought red roses, vibrant, sweet,
To strow upon her sleeping reast.

Against the shroud's chill purity
They flung a bright impious stain,
A passion-fire that sought to wake
That quiet heart to love again.

The mourners whispered: "He was harsh--
Cruel to her in life--" they said,
Now saw that every crimson bloom
Begged mute forgiveness of the dead.
