The Shadow Over Innsmouth - Now Live!
My free audiobook of H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth is now live at Podiobooks.com, iTunes, and for YouTube nuts, it's on there too. Enjoy! And I'd be much obliged if you could leave some stars and a review after you've listened. Many thanks!

Three from H.P. Lovecraft
Still waiting for Podiobooks to release The Shadow Over Innsmouth. So frustrating. It's uploaded, but it's awaiting release, *sighs*. Ahh well, if you share my pain, maybe this will help - a redux of my three other Lovecraft readings, removed from their Sometimes confines and presented as individual story MP3s. Grab all three at The Internet Archive (and if you'd be so kind as to leave a review, I'd be grateful). Click the pic to hit the source.

Sign up - get it first!

The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft
I haven't blogged anything lately because I've been so busy working on my reading of H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
I started the recording two years ago but gave up on it after two episodes because frankly, doing a good job was too difficult / time-consuming for me at the time. However, I recently came upon the old recordings I'd done and listened to them. I was surprised by how good they were, and gave myself a hearty head-slap for not finishing the story off earlier. Then, once I resumed the project, I remembered why I'd abandoned it: Zadok Allen. What a nightmare that guy was to do: a huge monologue in a regional dialect (that, being from England, I've no idea about, but anyway ...)
It was a total b*stard to do, but I kept at it, and at it, and it, and finally after about seven days of work, at about 01.00 a.m. last night, I finished it.
Then I woke up this morning and realised I had to do a load of re-takes. But generally speaking, it's finished, and I'll be uploading to Podiobooks later today.
Jon Cape has done a series of images based on the story, and the images on this page are just a few of them. A glimpse of the horrors to come in H.P. Lovecraft's, The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

Zadok Allen "... the half-crazed,
liquorish nonagenarian whose tales of old Innsmouth and its shadow were
so hideous and incredible."

"... lanterns bobbing in the darkness, and horrible croaking voices exchanging
low cries in what was certainly not English."
"... the morbid and horror-infested fabric of the Gilman House"
Zadok: "They'd ruther not start risin' an' wipin' aout human-kind, but ef they
was gave away an' forced to, they cud do a lot toward jest that."

Sometimes 20
Back again after a typical period of absence with a new podcast - SOMETIMES 20!
Now, if you've been listening to me for years, you may recall that I read a story for Pseudopod back in 2010 called Spirit of Nationalism by Richard Marsden. However, I know that I've picked up a lot of new listeners since then, and so, since I've always liked the story and my reading of it, I thought I'd recycle it for Sometimes. I contacted Richard Marsden, and he gave his blessing, so here it is, gracing the audio pages of Sometimes 20!

Richard has another story on Pseudopod called Grave of Ships, and has a number of books and stories available from his website, including an ongoing sci-fi humour saga called The Traveling Tyrant.
Also in the podcast, there's the return of the One Among the Sleepless podcast, news about the Salvation and Other Stories 3 Day Giveaway from Amazon. For 3 days from 00.01 am Thursday 28th Feb to 11.59 Saturday 3rd March, this ebook will be available for free from Amazon stores around the world. All I ask in return is that you leave 5 stars and a few kind words. Many thanks.
There's also news on the ebook and print releases of Underwood and Flinch, and news about the sequel, Blood and Smoke. And, besides a trip to the fridge and a song from Lene Lovich, you'll also hear about the new German editions of Salvation (Erlösung) and Night Crossing (Nachtfahrt), as translated by Martje Salje. You can get those from my page at Smashwords.
So all in all, it's quite a bumper slice of podcastery, and I hope you enjoy it.

Grotesque and Hilarious Underwood and Flinch Images
A while ago I used the A.I. art generator, DALL-E, to create some images of Underwood and Flinch. The results were … er … not good, and ca...
