Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley

Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley
Kickstarter campaign for The Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley

I signed up for The Lovecraft Investigations: Crowley kickstarter this week. They hit their target in less than 24 hours and are now focusing on what they are calling “stretch goals”, like a new Mythos episode and a feature-length audio show about the Department of Works. I enjoyed each season of The Lovecraft Investigations podcast and am looking forward to this new project. Only a year to wait …

 

Recently watched: Only the River Flows (2023), The Amateur (1981, not 2025), Babylon A.D. (2008). Can’t say that I’d recommend any of them.

Recently read: Finished The Living Great Lakes (Jerry Dennis), which I had been working through for quite a while. I learned a lot about the Great Lakes and it is well-written, but for some reason I had troubles picking it up. I’d read it for a few hours, and really enjoy it, but then somehow not pick it up for another week or two.

Also finished The Red Goddess (Peter Grey) and started a reread of The Worst is Yet to Come: A Post-Capitalist Survival Guide (Peter Fleming), which I read a few years ago after Warren Ellis reviewed it in his online "writer’s notebook".

Updates

Recently read: The Chaos Protocols (Gordon White). Still reading The Living Great Lakes (Jerry Dennis), started The Red Goddess (Peter Grey).

Recently watched: Twin Peaks: The Return (2017), Thief (1981), Space is the Place (1974). Got interested in watching Space while listening to a Weird Studies podcast during a train ride across Michigan.

(By the way, you should subscribe to Weird Studies. It is really good.)

Time to boil the sap

It’s that time of year again…

Boiling maple sap

First we get the buckets ready, clean the pans, gather firewood. Late in the winter, it’s maple syrup time…
