Lovecraft's Weird Mysteries (magazine)

Post by Hodgson »

I just got issue 10 of this in the mail yesterday. I've only read one story from it, but so far it seems good. Has anyone else read it?

Never even heard of it. Is it good mythos or pastiche?

I just read the first story in the issue last night, but I'd call it good mythos. Let me read the whole thing and I'll post back with a full review. So far, it's very promising.

It's a current magazine; the issue I received was from this past year, I believe, although the issue itself is undated.

I should say that it's not a slick magazine like Weird Tales, but more like a digest-sized zine. But for me it was worth it. Weird Tales doesn't interest me.

I finished reading the issue the other day. There were 4 stories in all, plus a brief review column in the back. The editing of the stories is somewhat loose--one story in particular had frequent errors.

But notwithstanding that, the stories were all basically good. "The Faceless Watchers" was particularly unusual and original treatment of Nyarlathotep. The most exciting story of the bunch was "Events Occurring at Wardenclyffe".

Incidentally, the editor of this zine/magazine, John Navroth, supplies much of his own art.
