ecosophia | Shoggoths Free To Good Homes

I need to ask a little help from my readers.

Founders House Publishing, the publishers of The Weird of Hali (and quite a few of my other books), has helpfully provided me with a certain number of complimentary review copies of the e-book editions of the first two books in the series. I'd like to get those to podcasters and online reviewers who are likely to be interested in a quirky Lovevcraftian epic fantasy where Great Cthulhu and his cultists turn out to be the good guys after all.

The one challenge is that I don't happen to know which podcasters and online reviewers those might be. I've spent years doing the podcast-and-website thing with my occult books, on the one hand, and my peak oil books on the other; I've got a fairly good idea who's likely to be interested in that end of my work -- but tentacular fantasy novels? Not so much.

The one thing that comes to mind is that my readers are an eccentric bunch and have astonishingly diverse interests. If you, dear readers, happen to know of suitable venues that might be interested in reviewing these books of mine, please let me know!

In saying this, I feel rather like the kid with the box full of kittens sitting out in front of the supermarket, hoping to find homes for them. Wouldn't you like to take home a cute little shoggoth broodling? It really will eat anything... ;-)

As someone who rarely finds time to read fiction now but did so avidly as a child, your Innsmouth is dead on the same place. One thing that surprised me about HPL's tale (spoiler alert for those who haven't read Shadow over Innsmouth!) is that his main character doesn't seems creepy or evil to me, although evidently HPL intended him to be. Not having read any other of his stories yet I'm probably missing the forest... Are your Jenny and Owen short stories out anywhere yet?

That's always been my reaction to Lovecraft; with one exception, his stories don't creep me out at all, and I find his tentacled horrors more interesting and alluring than otherwise.

The first two Jenny and Owen stories have been published in MYTHIC Magazine; the first, "The Phantom of the Dust, is in issue #1, and the second, "The Keeper of the Library," is in issue #6. A third, "The Mummy from R'lyeh," will be in print shortly in issue #8, and I've got no fewer than three more in process. Once there are enough of them, there'll be an anthology, of course!

This just popped up on my computer:

If it's not just an oversight, The Mummy from R'lyeh" may have been bumped down the road to some later issue of Mythic than #8. We may all have to wait even longer to see it in print ...

I am eager to see all 6+ of them in a single set of covers someday down the road. They are utterly delightful stories.
