Dead Reckonings review of Lovecraft Unbound

A rave by Martin Andersson in forthcoming Dead Reckonings--I'm quoting a bit from it:

"....a sterling Lovecraftian anthology that surely ranks with the best in the field. Its connection with the Cthulhu Mythos is only tangential, even though one familiar name or another crops up, which makes for a book that focuses on those more intangible qualities of Lovecraft’s work, such as the fascination of infinite cosmos and dread of the unknown and the sense of wrongness that permeate his best stories."

and:
"Datlow has created an excellent mix of tentacles and cosmicism, with emphasis on the latter, that should prove that the field of Cthulhuian and Lovecraftian fiction is indeed capable of producing imaginative literature worthy of attention."

Yesterday in Baltimore

Yes, I was there twice in one week. Rainy and cold all day/night.

My sister and brother in law picked me up in the morning and we drove down to the Visionary Arts Museum, which is three times the size it was when I was last there (we only had time to visit the original building and rush through that). Then they dropped me off at the Paper Moon Diner (they continued to drive to Florida) where I met up with John Langan and his son Nick, and Greg Frost and his friend Warren. The decor is fantastic and I'll be posting the photos of the diner shortly. The food was ok.

Everything ran late so of course we were a little late finding the Enoch Pratt Library where the reading was taking place (and finding parking). But got there and a nice audience of about 20 people were awaiting. Judy Cooper the head of programming and events and Nancy O. Greene, who made the initial contact with the library and graciously supplied refreshments were both there and greeted us.

One of the attendees tells what ensued here (with photos). Had a great time, sold out the books, I think.

Then Greg and Warren went their way and John drove me back to NYC and continued to New Paltz. It was a verrrry long but productive day.
