Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 23 Mar 18

1956 – Corgi Books - Spoiler alerts I love most Arthur C Clarke books and stories that I have read, but this one is very disappointing, possibly among the worst books I have ever read. It is actually a rewrite of an earlier...

TV Characters We Hear But Never See - The Thing Upstairs – The Trap Door

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 19 Jan 17

Voiced by Willie Rushdon, The Trap Door was a wonderful Claymation cartoon series for children from 1984, bizarrely influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos horror stories of H P Lovecraft. It centred on a Gothic Castle inhabited by...

No Love for H.P. Lovecraft

AvarianParakeet @AvarianParakeet (55) • United States 13 Jan 07

I've searched, and I can't find a single thread about the great writer H.P. Lovecraft. Sure, not all of his short stories were the best, but most of the Cthulhu mythos was amazing. He was the inspiration for a lot of Stephen...
