Lovecraft’s story “The Lurking Fear” has seen\u00a0some love from two different companies recently. For the unfamiliar “The Lurking Fear” is a story\u00a0first published in the January through April 1923 issues of Home Brew<\/i> as a serial. It is about a monster hunter who hears tales of a lurking fear in the Catskills Mountains and takes two men to go investigate. From the story:<\/p>\n

There was thunder in the air on the night I went to the deserted mansion atop Tempest Mountain to find the lurking fear. I was not alone, for foolhardiness was not then mixed with that love of the grotesque and the terrible which has made my career a series of quests for strange horrors in literature and in life. With me were two faithful and muscular men for whom I had sent when the time came; men long associated with me in my ghastly explorations because of their peculiar fitness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Lurking-Fear-Blu-Ray-cover\"<\/a>Two companies are releasing or re-releasing versions of the story; Full Moon Direct is remastering the movie version for Blu-ray<\/a>. The movie is “based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft” and is classic B-movie material.<\/p>\n

The second release, from Cadabra Records, is a limited edition vinyl pressing read by Andrew Leman<\/a>\u00a0that is currently on pre-order and limited to 500 copies.<\/p>\n

Of course there is always the possibility that one of our readers has never read the original story. If that is the case, then I recommend heading\u00a0over to\u00a0hplovecraft.com and reading it online<\/a> before checking out the movie and vinyl. But do it quickly, who knows when the pre-orders will sell out.<\/p>\n

Until next time, stay sane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
