Issue #14 – May 2012

(Mike here: I thought it would be appropriate and fitting for a woman to introduce this issue… and who better than Silvia Moreno-Garcia?) Welcome to this special issue of the Lovecraft eZine.

  4. Loving everything you’re doing so far! Keep it up, you’re on a roll… Cthulhu has always been some of my favorite reading, whether from the masters or the new voices in the mythos… keep it alive
