Never read H.P.L., eh? Very atmospheric and his use of language is, well, unique. But I love it! Especially the Mythos stuff.

may have to pick something up from him...

never read his stuff.

I picked up a collection of his stuff for about a tenner and although I wasnt fussed for some of the stories some are absolutley brilliant

Hey, Ichi. Just finished reading this, and really like it. The missus liked it too, and kept asking me questions about it. I told her she'd have to wait until you'd written the rest of it!
So two fans here!

Just had chance to read the second chapter

good work ICHI, I am looking forward to reading the rest

Cheers dudes i'll be making on with the rest over this week I only want it to be short about 5 or 6 chapters so I'll try and get another 2 up by the weekend at least

The Hubb is a big Lovecraft fan - he has a few rare Lovecraftian based films that haven't been issued over here on dvd and loads of books by Lovecraft and related authors. He's such a big Lovecraft geek he even played the role playing game

He has a few illustrations that are Cthulhu based up at deviant art - there are other illustrations there as well some based on Savoy - all are going to be removed next week for his extraction project so in a short time they will be gone

however you may find this amusing as its a Lovecraftian band - which doesn't exist it's a part of an art project

As for Bethesda being Lovecraft - most definetly the clues are everywhere and The Call of Cthulhu on the xbox - absolute brilliant game - quite scary - not many games can evoke those feelings Clive Barkers The Undying was another - the old pc game play it in the dark with headphones - absolutely terrified

Love the art, and undying was fantastic.

"feel the bite of my ax" - man loved the bit where after killing the girl boss he's standing on the cliff holding her head - absolutely mad

The Hubb wooed me with The Desert - based on one of my spoken word pieces - has a very distinctive illustration styl.

The Hubb also really enjoyed it - particularly liked the nightmare of the dream - Lovecraftian atmosphere was spot on - he looks forward to reading more when it's done. He read it while I was in my session - as I mentioned he's a Cthulhu cum stain enthusiast - I haven't had a chance to read but I will. It's a shame he won't play on live but chances are he and Ichi wouldn't be playing games they would just chat about films and books.

when are you putting up the remaining chapters Ichi?

Sorry I didn't anticipate all the family turbulence over the past 3 months so I just haven't had time to collate the remaining chapters into some cohesive thoughts
I have the series of events all down and some of the speech and monologue. Just need to mould it that bit further into something others can read too and I haven't had much time or patience of late. The Mrs and baby are coming home tomorrow so I'll be lavishing them with care and attention for a few days and then get back to writing. I ended up being whirled off into the writing rather than finishing and posting chapter by chapter. I finished my train of thought and started bulking out the ideas. There are 5 more chapters now though and I only intended there to be 3. It'll be done soon along with the 3 new songs we're finishing off for the myspace site we'll hit the ground running with the band in October

no worries - the hubb asked me about it as he really enjoyed reading it
hope everything at home is on the way up - by the way I'm izorpo at myspace so add me I'd like to hear the music tracks - the hubb would as well

Added lass, it's a little metal but hope you guy's make on with it, not bad recordings for 5 knob heads and a bed room oooerrrr
