  Whether you prefer your Lovecraftian fiction for free online, on your Nook or Kindle (for 99 cents), or even as a podcast (free this time, as a test), you won't want to miss the latest issue of Lovecraft eZine.
  Editor Mike Davis continues to provide readers with a remarkable array of writers and artists -- on a regular schedule!   Check out the TOC this time around:

An update on yesterday's Lovecraft eZine post: for those of us who prefer our eldritch terror in portable electronic form,  issue #16 is now available for Kindle & Nook.  

I'm not sure how the estimated page count runs for the Nook, but the Kindle edition appears to be around 91 pages --  for less than one dollar.

Truth in LiveJournaling: I haven't got a story in this issue.  My only reason for posting this info is to help out a fine Lovecraftian publication -- and to let other e-reading enthusiasts know where to get some inexpensive weekend reading. 

Thanks also to author Kenneth W. Cain for doing the Kindle / Nook formatting!

The January 2012 issue of Mike Davis's Lovecraft eZine is up now, available free for all interested Lovecraftians.   This looks like a particularly intriguing issue, with a brand new art section.  Check out the TOC:

Tark Left Santiago
by Joseph S. Pulver, SR

The Spaces Between Space
by Brett J. Talley

Eliza
by Joshua Reynolds

White Noise
by Michael Matheson

The Vessels
by Nancy O. Greene

Art Section (NEW!)
Dan Hunt and Charles Schneider


For those of you who prefer to consume your eldritch items on Kindle or Nook, there's a handy edition for each device available for only 99 cents.  Several stories are also being offered in free downloadable audio  -- there's no getting away from the cosmic horror now.

But why would you want to?

Who says there's nothing good about a Monday?  Issue # 7 of The Lovecraft eZine (with appropriately themed holiday cover) is up for your reading pleasure today, here. 

Five stories of cosmic horror, plus disturbing artwork -- and all yours for free, as usual.  However, if you'd prefer to read this bounty on your Kindle or Nook, you can still download a copy for 99 cents here.    All back issues are also available. 

I realize this LJ has taken on a distinctively Innsmouth Look lately . . . but the good stuff continues to flow from this Lovecraftian blog/micro-press.  

Today sees the release of issue #8 of their Innsmouth Magazine, & the first to be released in Kindle and ePub editions in addition to the online posting of stories and the free PDF download (with pretty -- or at least eldritch -- pictures).  The new ebook editions are only 99 cents, and are being offered as a way to fund the ongoing strangeness which is IFP.

All information on this new issue -- with 6 stories, and an archaeologically themed  cover which looks good even on my black & white Kindle screen -- can be found here.

Now, if I can just figure out how to keep my Kindle from growing any more tentacles  . . .

Lovecraftians with e-readers will certainly want to know that Innsmouth Free Press is also offering their new anthology Historical Lovecraft as an e-book (all imaginable formats) -- and, until April 20th, it's on sale at 20% off, too! 

Since the price of the e-edition is seriously inexpensive to start with, you really can't afford not to get it if you like Mythos fiction. ( I did.) 

If you haven't quite decided to buy yet, there are now two free sample stories available as well.
