EVENT:
Weird Words: A Lovecraftian Lexicon, by Dan Clore, published by
Hippocampus Press, is now available.
Eldritch . . . cacodaemoniacal . . . lucubration . . . Have you ever
wondered about the meaning of these and other esoteric words used by
Lovecraft and his colleagues? In this Cyclopean dictionary, the product
of aeons of erudition and research into the most recondite recesses of
literature, Dan Clore not only defines thousands of words found in the
work of A. Merritt, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E.
Howard, and many others in the weird fantasy tradition, but supplies
their etymologies and, most impressively, provides parallel usages of
the words from centuries of English usage, citing authors ranging from
Cotton Mather to Henry Kuttner, from Edmund Spenser to William S.
Burroughs, from Edgar Allan Poe to Robert Anton Wilson. This is a volume
that scholars of English usage, enthusiasts of fantasy and horror
literature, and readers who love the beauty of the English language will
find richly rewarding . . . either to read from beginning to end or to
dip into as the mood strikes them.

"Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died."

In the Midnight heaven’s burning
Through the ethereal deeps afar
Once I watch’d with restless yearning
An alluring aureate star;
Ev’ry eve aloft returning
Gleaming nigh the Arctic Car.
With the gorgeous golden rays
Phantasies of bliss descended
In a myrrh’d Elysian haze.
In the lyre-born chords extended
Harmonies of Lydian lays.
Where the free and blessed dwell,
And each moment bears a treasure,
Freighted with the lotos-spell,
And there floats a liquid measure
From the lute of Israfel.
Worlds of happiness unknown,
Peace and Innocence entwining
By the Crowned Virtue’s throne;
Men of light, their thoughts refining
Purer, fairer, than my own.
Crept a red delirious change;
Hope dissolving to derision,
Beauty to distortion strange;
Hymnic chords in weird collision,
Spectral sights in endless range…
Crimson burn’d the star of madness
As behind the beams I peer’d;
All was woe that seem’d but gladness
Ere my gaze with Truth was sear’d;
Cacodaemons, mir’d with madness,
Through the fever’d flick’ring leer’d…
Now I know the fiendish fable
The the golden glitter bore;
Now I shun the spangled sable
That I watch’d and lov’d before;
But the horror, set and stable,
Haunts my soul forevermore!

“While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi's claim in his introduction that Pulver “can take his place with that of the masters of our genre” (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Whatever your expectations may be, check them at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre, and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this sort of style . . . Pulver is an original.” - Rick Kleffel’s The Agony Column

"We were not, as I have said, in any sense childishly superstitious but scientific study and reflection had taught us that the known universe of three dimensions embraces the merest fraction of the whole cosmos of substance and energy. In this case an overwhelming preponderance of evidence from numerous authentic sources pointed to the tenacious existence of certain forces of great power and, so far as the human point of view is concerned, exceptional malignancy."

"Some writers one admirers and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature." - Thomas Ligotti

"The stars had been blotted out...the great cloud which had obscured the sky looked curiously like the outline of a great man. And where the top of the 'cloud' must have been, where the head of the thing should have been, there were two gleaming stars."
