I’m currently bouncing between 14, by Peter Clines, and From a Buick 8, by Stephen King. Both of them are very enjoyable.
What Lovecraftian-themed book are YOU reading now, or what have you read recently? Comment below.
About From a Buick 8: In 1979, an odd man drives what at first glance looks like a 1954 mint-quality Buick Roadmaster up to a service station in rural Pennsylvania, then vanishes, leaving behind the car. The state police of Troop D deposit the vehicle in a shed near their barracks, where, up to the present, it remains a secret from all but cop colleagues for the car isn’t exactly a car; it may be alive, and it certainly serves as a doorway between our world and… what? Another dimension? Another galaxy? (Read more here)
The Lovecraft eZine 
So far reading&bouncing between these on near nightly basis:
Autopsy and other tales, Drums of Chaos, Forever Azatoth, Inhabitant of the lake and other unwelcome tenants, Dead but dreaming 2,The Book of Cthulhu, Taint and other novellas, House of Cthulhu,Strange Dark One, Last revelations of Gla’aki, Fungi, Bohemians of Sesqua valley and Black Wings of Cthulhu
And some still sum more to come to the list. Too many to finish and too short nights to catch up…

“N” by Stephen King. References to a 3-lobed burning eye. Also works as a tribute to the great Arthur Machen.

As far as Lovecraftian games, the most recent thing I tried was the expansion to Elder Signs, Unseen Forces. I liked it as an add on; the curse and bless dice add a nice dimension, and I like the new investigators/locations/monsters

As far as novels/collections, hmmm
I am only a few stories shy of completing Shotguns vs Cthulhu. It is a quite superior anthology, with several unusual stories.
I quite enjoyed Ramsey Campbell’s new novella The Last Revelation of Gla’aki
I am working my way through The Bones of the Yopasi in a desultory fashion. It’s OK but no great shakes.
14 by Peter Clines is highly enjoyable, as Mike said.
The absolute jewel of my recent reading was The Croning by Laird Barron. I think it is now my favorite Lovecraftian novel, displacing Radiant Dawn and The Fuller Memorandum. It is brilliant in so many ways; I just have to write a review.

The Croning is excellent Mike, did you post a review on amazon? I’d like to read your review.

Comic books/graphic novels I have read recently
Young Lovecraft 3 – What a brilliant series, the best HPL comic ever
Fatale 3: West of Hell – Fatale is an intriguing series with numerous Lovecraftian elects, gorgeous art and a fascinating female protagonist
Witchdoctor – Here is something that is just an absolute treat! A paranormal practitioner (who may be Herbert West using an alias) out thinks and outmaneuvers servitors of Lovecraftian beings. A superbly clever script and great art help too!!

I am looking forward to The Shadow Out of Time by INJ Culbard

I just finished Ramsey Campbell’s “The Influence”. I will then read his “Last Revelation of Gla’Aki” after I finish Joe Hill’s “NOS4A2”. I also recently read Joe Lansdale’s “Edge of Dark Water”. I’ll be reading Campbell’s “The Overnight” soon as well as a few By Caitlin Kiernan. Then I think I will switch gears and read S.T.Joshi’s “Atheism, A Reader”.

THE ASSAULTS OF CHAOS–A NOVEL ABOUT H. P. LOVECRAFT, by S. T. Joshi, and H. P. LOVECRAFT–ART. ARTIFACT AND REALITY by Steven J. Mariconda. They are both simply superb! As an author of Lovecraftian weird fiction, they both, a book of fiction and a book of literary essays, inspire me as an artist and instill within me that aesthetic ache that plants ye seed for further work from mine antique pen.

I am reading all the Conan stories, just finished the shorts and halfway through Hour of the Dragon. I can’t believe what S.T. Joshi once said about REH, in fact, I must have put it out of my mind, but it wasn’t good. Anyways, I found in each short story a paragraph I really enjoy that actually fits into our modern times.

I am reading the Barnes and Noble HP Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction, after watching a YouTube video by Mr Pugmire. He endorsement was so persuasive, I ran out and picked it up directly. And now I am going through it piece by piece and loving it. Yes, I had already read much of it before, some on Kindle, some in collections, etc., but that B&N text is so nice. Thank you, Wilum.
That said, I see the pic of King’s book. I have to say that, after I heard King say, as a real criticism, that HP couldn’t write a real scene (?) I have pretty much closed down on him. The one thing about King — and this a criticism, too — is that he cannot refrain from making everything a “scene”.
