Add Some Haibun To Your Mythos
Oct. 10th, 2008 03:01 pmI noticed yesterday that
dreamnnightmare had a new Cthulhu Mythos flash fiction up at the Daily Cabal site:

Fun short Mythos fiction is always a plus, but this is something a little different. It's a thoroughly Lovecraftian take on haibun, a Japanese form combining a short prose piece with one or more related haiku.
I've read many speculative haibun -- and written a few myself -- but this is the first one I've seen based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft. It's also well worth the brief time required to experience it.
