Curbside grocery guy asked me for a birthday. As I am currently costumed as Quincey Morris from *Dracula*, I confidently responded, β€œ1897.”

I got my beer. No further questions.

Somewhat unexpectedly, we’re at a screening of Re-Animator with a Q&A featuring Barbara Crampton and Jeffery Combs.

It’s a pretty small theater.

So my online #Lovecrsft fans, what should we ask?!? β€œHow are you so awesome?” is probably taken.

You have 2 hours from now.

Just published episode 70, our discussion of a tale of corpse-snuggling, "The Loved Dead," by HP #Lovecraft but actually by #CMEddy, first published in the May/June issue of Weird Tales.

Finally got around to recording the analysis and commentary on this secret #Lovecraft story.

We’d been day drinking, put down about an hour and a half of talk, and I’m pretty sure there are huge chunks to edit out. For the blooper reel!

I’m hopeful we’ll record today but right at this moment we’re at Roper Romp, a costume bar thing where you dress like the Ropers from Three’s Company.

So we’ll see.

I did all the homework. I hope we record.

Three eggs for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

One Basket to bring […]

Okay, Fedi-friends. I know it's a tough call, but what's the horniest, sexiest #Lovecraft short story out there? I'm coming (heh) up on episode #69 and I'd like to fill that slot accordingly.
