Everything below is by Matt Carpenter. Thanks for this service, Matt!
I guess time has slipped by and it’s time for another update. Anyone else can volunteer to take over this at anytime (this means you, James Ambuehl). Otherwise if you have additions comment below or send me an email.
Here is the publishing scene as far as I can tell. Mythos Books remains on hiatus; Dave Wynn had some personal issues and has not been responding to my emails. Chaosium remains years behind schedule. Arkham House has resumed online sales but I don’t think the publication side of the business has recovered from the tragic death of April Derleth. William Jones seems to be recovering, but Elder Signs Press remains a much small operation; their most recent few novels have been zombie flavored instead of Cthulhu-ish. Current exciting small presses include Dark Regions Press, who have given us some wonderful mythos type books in 2011. Innsmouth Free Press has adhered to an ambitious publication schedule, resulting in Future Lovecraft and Historical Lovecraft. I want to give a shout out to Perilous Press for doing good things on a shoe string budget. Miskatonic River Press has big plans for the future. And in the UK, PS Publishing has wonderful hardcovers. ST Joshi’s blog is published irregularly but it is a treasure trove of information.
I am completely unable to be sure that I caught everything; in fact, I’m sure I didn’t. Even with regularly surfing blogs, Facebook, Amazon and publishers’ websites, this is a non-Euclidean task. For example, IDW is publishing a series of HPL reprints with gorgeous art by menton3. I have no idea how many they plan to release. They are also having a large series of linked stories across many issues this year with an underlying Lovecraftian theme. I have no idea how to keep up. Also, every day there are new self published stories for Kindle and other ebooks on Amazon, released by the various authors and purporting to be Lovecraftian/mythos. Rainfall Books makes high quality chapbooks available in the UK but hard to get in the US; I gave up being complete on these ages ago.
Good luck with all that!

Mna the entries are coming fast ad furious. I was trolling the Miskatonic Books blog and saw this entry:
“And the first book in our new novella series in the Modern Mythos Library titled IRON CHAIN by Donald Tyson. Stay tuned for more on these awesome new Modern Mythos Library titles.”
So a new novella! Mr. Tyson wrote two novels, The Necronomicon and Al Hazrad, created a Lovecraftian tarot deck and actually dablles in magick (sigh) I think. I haven’t read his books before but I have the 2 novels and the tarot deck.

One nifty thing about this twice yearly update is I hear about all sorts of projects I would not have otherwise known about.
Wilum Pugmire tells me about Encounters with Enoch Coffin:
“Jeff and I wrote the book last year, and it may be the most
Lovecraftian book that I have ever worked on. I wanted to write a
book about a Lovecraftian New England artist, but I wanted to write it
with AN ARTIST, and Jeff is a fantastic author, a gifted artist and
lives in New England. The book is huge and contains some of my finest
Lovecraftian novelettes. I have, at last, written my definitive tale
set in Innsmouth. I consider the novelette set in Kingsport among my
very finest tales. There is also a new Sesqua Valley story. Because
I’ve had too many new books published of late, and two new books yet
to be published this year, I’ve asked Dark Regions Press to delay the
hardcover first edition of ENCOUNTERS WITH ENOCH COFFIN until early
2013.”
..and, from Martin Andersson:
Delta Green: Strange Authorities [John Tynes]
Delta Green: Failed Anatomies [ed. Dennis Detwiller]
So a new Tynes novel and a new DG anthology. It’s a great time to be a Cthulhu fan!

Image Comics has published issues 1-3 of Brubaker’s Fatale. I’ve ordered them so will let you know if they are Lovecraftian at all.
BTW, I just finished Hissmelina. Not so hot, not really of direct interest to Lovecraftians either. Review on the way eventually.

OK, I just heard about another one from Arcane Wisdom Press (who make lovely hardcovers).
The Color Over Occam by Jonathan Thomas – looks like it riffs on ideas from The Colour Out of Space without actually being a sequel.
By my count this is about 50 books (that I know of!) to be released in the next two years. With 30-40 novels and anthologies sitting around my library waiting to be read it’s no wonder I can’t keep up!
Currently I’m reading The Creeping Kelp.

I went to her blog and website; there was a dearth of information. Instead of a Lovecraftian themed anthology it now seems a more general dark fiction anthology. Not that that’s bad, exactly, but I wonder how much will be of direct interest to mythos fans. Does anyone know?

My story in Dark Fusions (“When the Stars Run Away”) is Lovecraftian horror, though it doesn’t name Names. That’s all I know for sure. The submissions handout I got about this project at MythosCon 2011 wanted Lovecraftian horror, though not specifically Mythos work.

OK, then it can be like Horrors Beyond 1 or Lovecraft Unbound or even Eternal Lovecraft form the 1990s, where they just want echoes of HPL. All of those were still very enjoyable books. Thanks for the update,

I’ve asked Dark Regions Press to hold off on publishing ENCOUNTERS WITH ENOCH COFFIN until early 2013 so that I can have at least one new book published next year. Writing, or rather concentrating on new writing, is next to impossible due to household chaos, and I have decided not to complete a new book until I’ve taken a three-year hiatus.
