Hey friends!  I have several bits of news for you today:

• I’m a fan of Pseudopod, the weekly horror podcast.  While perusing the archives, I found the following gem: Stepfathers, a reading of a Lovecraftian horror/comedy by Grady Hendrix: He’d spent his free period reading up on the Lurker at the Threshold, the All-in-One and the One-in-All, the Opener of the Way, and now he tried to detect the signs of Its presence. But nothing smelt like the stench of the grave. No hideous ichor was seeping out from underneath his bedroom door. The upstairs hall was painted the same robin’s egg blue that it’d always been and it was not suffocating beneath an encrustation of poisonous mold that glowed a deathly, bioluminescent green. He took a deep breath and opened the door to his bedroom. Yog-Sothoth sat at the end of his bed, absorbed in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4.  “Hey,” Billy said, dropping his book bag.  “Hold on,” Yog-Sothoth said without looking up. “I have almost… accomplished my… Pro Challenge.”  Heh!  Click here to listen to this story.  And all horror fans should listen to Pseudopod on a regular basis.  It’s good.
• Coming Soon: Thought you guys might like to know about some of the fine writers who will be published in Lovecraft eZine in the coming months: T.E. Grau, Nicole Cushing, A.J. French, Jacob Henry Orloff with W.H. Pugmire, Patricia Correll, Edward Morris, Christopher Slatsky, and many more!
• Call for banner artists: You’ve probably noticed the new rotating banners (top of this webpage).  Every visit gives you a random banner; we are currently rotating between four or five banners, created by Stjepan Lukac and Anthony Ackland (thanks, guys!).  I’d love to have even more banners, so if you’re an artist and you’d like to create a banner or two for Lovecraft eZine, I’ll give you full credit and link to your website, if you have one!  Simply email me at michaeldaviswriter@gmail.com .
• Remember, the Brown Jenkin contest ends tomorrow — if you haven’t entered, click here to do so!

Hope everyone is enjoying issue #10!
