Less than crystal clear photos of Lovecraft's study taken by Robert Barlow following HPL's death. If better enhanced versions of these can be located they will be posted here in the future. One thing is evident in these pictures: Lovecraft's final living quarters were kept in order, but were tightly packed with papers. HPL created several amusing drawings/cartoons depicting himself surrounded and nearly drowning in paperwork. Between his voluminous correspondence, drafts of revisions and origional fiction, Lovecraft was nearly overwhelmed with paperwork. Additionally the books in his impessive personal library filled shelves of every spare wall and nook. ( Exhibit 214)

Do you ever learn of someone long dead and immediately feel a sense of connection/interest in them? That’s how I felt about Robert Barlow after reading this.

A closeted gay author who was part of Lovecraft’s creative circle, who studied Mesoamerican cultures, who was driven to suicide. It feels unreal how relevant he is to me.

I’ve wished for something like the Cthulhu Mythos around my ideas, having people to freely exchange characters and worlds with. But I never looked much into the reality of the example, which has turned out to be quite ugly.

So, ok, this is my first post.

I am so in love with the childhood photos of Robert H. Barlow and H. F. Lovecraft! These two writers-bobbleheads

(Thanks to Vance Pollock from his Facebook group for the photo of R. H. Barlow)

"Hardwick Hall; more glass than wall"

I visited Hardwick Hall for the first time this week; check out some of what I discovered!

Hardwick Hall (photo is author’s own) I have visited Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire for the first time this week, and wow, what a place. Even though I’ve seen pictures of the hall, they don’t do justice to the sheer amount of glass. In the sixteenth century that must have been incredible to anyone who saw it! I also hadn’t realised that Bess of Hardwick had died at the grand old age of around 80,…

His face was handsome and commanding and arrogant and compelling. His nose was hawklike, his hair swept back from his brow, and his heavy, fascinating mouth masked strangely exciting white teeth that showed when he smiled. And his eyes... they were red and hypnotic. When he looked at you with those eyes, you could not look away... and you didn’t want to.

Samples of some of the personal drawings Lovecraft included along with his letters to friends. The woodblock print shown below in green and also as it originally appeared with one of HPL's letters, was the creation of Robert Barlow, one of Lovecraft's close friends. Barlow was the person Lovecraft origionally chose as his literary executor. The image was meant to represent Lovecraft's fictional character, Great Cthulhu. (Exhibit 218)

Tugboat Annie

New Yorkers were enduring the dog days of August, and those who couldn’t escape the heat by fleeing to the country or the beach could find cool respite at the movies. August 19, 1933 cover by Gardner Rea. It was doubtless in an air-conditioned theatre where critic John Mosher enjoyed the craft of older actors, in this case Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler in Tugboat Annie. Although the film…

“Let it Grow” -> “Might as Well” for Day Nine of “30 Days of Dead”

Contrasting one of Bob Weir’s most-complex compositions with one of Jerry Garcia’s simplest, Day Nine of “30 Days of Dead” features the Grateful Dead as a lean septet that was as tight as it was loose.

Like the composers, lyricists John Perry Barlow and Robert Hunter went respectively deep and shallow on “Let it Grow” and “Might as Well.” But each of the antithetical songs ranks high on Sound Bites’ list of live-Dead favorites.

And these versions are spectacular, coming from the glorious post-retirement period when the band sounded hungry; Donna Jean Godchaux was harmonizing sweetly with Weir and Garcia; Keith Godchaux was still fully engaged on acoustic piano; and Bill Kreutzmann and Micky Hart had their groove back after several years apart.

“Let it Grow” features a dime-stop U-turn to a short drum duet and exquisite ensemble playing from the collective. “Might as Well,” meanwhile, is a raucous celebration of the Festival Express that finds Garcia extending the outro as Keith Godchaux; bassist Phil Lesh and the drummers underpin the guitarist’s fancy.

Dead Heads playing the guess-which-show quiz will find another clue in Weir’s setbreak announcement.

“Thank you,” he says. “We’re going to take a short break. We’ll be right back, so everybody hang loose.”

Title: Collapsing cosmoses (1938) Author: Robert. H. Barlow; H.P.Lovecraft Vote: 6.5/10 Satirical tale on the sci-fi genre that made me laugh out loud. A pleasant variation from the author's usual horror stories.
