The latest August 2021 issue of Cosmc Horror Monthly is a celebration of writer H.P. Lovecraft who was born on August 20th, 1890 in Providence, Rhode Island.
The magazine features a few classic tales by Lovecraft along with several new Lovecraftian stories by contemporary writers with illustrations throughout.
Filmmaker Mike T. Lyddon contributed his story “The Hogansburg Horror,” a terrifying meditation on the old gent’s classic tale, “The Dunwich Horror.” Lyddon also has a few illustrations in the issue including a full page rendering based upon Lovecraft’s “From Beyond.”
Other stories include The Dust of Nyarlathotep by Scott Michael Hutchings and The West Arkham Reservoir by J.M. Faulkner.
You can buy this issue or subscribe to Cosmic Horror Monthly directly from the website.
With an expected world premiere in October/November 2021, Mike Lyddon’s new indie film HAUNTED THRILLS is a documentary featurette about pre-code era horror comic books and the artists who drew them.
A companion featurette to Lyddon’s horror anthology movie WITCH TALES (2020), Haunted Thrills looks at many of the non EC publishers and artists who drew the other horror comics you may never have heard about but some of the names will be very familiar.
Everyone knows about Stan Lee and Marvel Comics but few know that he was one of the original pre-code horror editors when he worked for ATLAS in the late 1940s. We interview two artists who worked at Atlas, Joe Sinnott and Vic Carrabotta.
Also, we speak with the great Everett Raymond Kinstler about his days with AVON and ZIFF-DAVIS publishers.
