The Ballad of Black Tom... and HPL

[GiovanniDeFeo]

Has anyone read it? It is by Victor Lavalle and it is a re-writing of Horror at Red Hook by HPL.

(Victor was my tutor for a week in San Diego Uni, and I liked the guy immensely; so I might be biased, but honestly I think the story did a very good job at telling Cthulhu myths, doing social commentary as well).

...last news! The Ballad of Black Tom has been shortlisted for a Nebula. So, if you happen to come by it, give it a look!

I am not familiar with it, but I'm generally bad at keeping up with current fantasy. I'll keep it in mind if I come across it!

 

[GiovanniDeFeo]

It's not fantasy, it's a Lovecraft apocrifa, so a Cthulhu myth story...

 

[Tanniel]

Well, I am bad at keeping up with any kind of current literature, to be honest, but I'll keep an eye out all the same.
