I've played the demo for The Shore. The initial sections had a real ambience of cosmic dread, similar to Conarium, but I found the combat deflated that a little.
Based on the new trailer, they've decided to go more Black Ops than #BlackGnosis.
One of the best things about Yule is having plenty of time to read:
H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, "Rare Book Room": https://youtu.be/-G_iL6TRphg
A rather fine interpretation of Lovecraft's “Nyarlathotep”.
Costin Chioreanu's music is a little heavier than my usual tastes but it really works here and Kim Diaz Holm's art has a great balance of abstraction and fixed points.
Outsiders Within, an anthology of twelve tales of cosmic dread, is now available in paperback and eBook.
Summon it from your preferred retailer here: https://davidjhiggins.wordpress.com/abstruse-press/outsiders-within/
Really starting to feel the looming dread now.
HP Lovecraft Historical Society, “It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Fishmen”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tTHn2tHhcI
The most wondrous day approaches!
The HP Lovecraft Historical Society, "I'm Dreaming of a Dead City": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rflsHvtTTGw
A third season of Lovecraft Investigations. Deep (one) joy!

My language skills aren't up to translating, but the visuals suggest this forthcoming film will be #YogSothothery adjacent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNjFlz4otxs

Merely because one seeks to reclaim the surface of the Earth, one should not go out looking a fright.

Given how sharp Una Cat is, I don't think she'd fall for this
A rather pleasing #Lovecraft piece: eldritch but not too overwrought.
A reasonably balanced view of #Lovecraft: he was both a deeply prejudiced man and the creator of a significant opus.
Hopefully, whichever fragments of him remain within a ghoul will find it fitting birthday present.

Everyone knows cats are fuzz little Lovecraftian horrors.

A somewhat less arch and technical encounter with #CosmicDread than At the Mountains of Madness:

Clearly a tale of #CosmicDread but is it near the start or the end?
A Night at the Art Exhibition by Katharsisdrill (https://www.datataffel.dk/u/katharsisdrill)
A rather pleasing adaption of #Lovecraft's short story: altered to fit the different requirements of film but true to the spirit.
Somehow the cheery animation style adds to the horror.
Not so much the call of #Cthulhu as the demand...
