Ye Hour of Their Appetite E-mail

This is an old tale that has seen a couple of re-writes.  Being here at Mythos Tomes gave me a new idea about how to write it.  The original version appeared in DREAMS OF LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR (Mythos Books, 1999) and another version appeared in THE FUNGAL STAIN AND OTHER DREAMS (Hippocampus Press,  2006).  Here I present a more traditional Mythos version, written exclusively for Mythos Tomes.  This version will appear here alone and not be reprinted in any future collection.

UNCOMMON PLACES -- PART XIV E-mail
Written by W. H. Pugmire, Esq.   
Sunday, 29 March 2009
I have recently completed work on a revised/expanded edition of my book DREAMS OF LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR, for Mythos Books.  The one new thing I've written for it is a 10,000 prose-poem sequence called "Uncommon Places."  Each segment is inspired by entries in Lovecraft's "Commonplace Book" (hence the title of the work).  The segment posted below was written after a re-reading of "The Dunwich Horror."  It sees its first publication here at Mythos Tomes.  I have, of course, taken some great liberties with the original Lovecraft story, in which the Whateley farmhouse is destroy'd when Wilbur's twin brother bursts from its confines.  I keep forgetting that point in the story, and thus I've written a number of tales (such as "The Tree-House" in Chaosium's THE DUNWICH CYCLE) in which I have the farmhouse still standing.  It's a mistake on my part, but one that I enjoy making, as the idea of that farmhouse still exisitng is an image that allures me.

Necronomicon E-mail
Written by W. H. Pugmire, Esq.

This is a wee vignette that appeared in my book DREAMS OF LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR, publish'd in 1999 by Mythos Books.  I have just completed work on a revised/expanded edition of the book, for which everything has been re-written.  The following is the original previous version of the vignette.  Of it, S. T. Joshi wrote, in his wonderful new book THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS:

"Consider, too, the prose-poem 'Necronomicon,' which contains one of the most poignant reflexions on the psychological effects of the 'forbidden book' that any contemporary writer has produced.  [He then quotes the final paragraph of the piece.]  In this passage is a simultaneous conveyance of cosmic and psychological horror that Lovecraft himself only rarely achieved."

 I post it here as it reminds me of your logo above, the open'd tome with ye tentacles outstretch'd toward merciless cosmic nothingness.  I encourage others who like to write, or who have ever wanted to try to write, to add your own short vignettes and prose-poems concerningmythos tomes to this creative outlet.  Just let your imagination soar and write something that only you can wrire, but that is rooted in Lovecraft and the Mythos.  You may be surprised at what you come up with, and you have an audience of friends at this site.

Please tell me whether or not you like this story.  If the response seems to be pretty good, it's possible that this may become the first installment in a series of short stories.
