returns in this scorching summer Lovecraftian Studies of the aperiodic Dagon Press that, for the past five years, opens its pages to criticism and the study of Gentleman of Providence, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. And it does so in a different way than usual, with two important developments. The first is that the magazine has not in his usual paper, but in electronic form, while retaining all the features of page layout. One way to update this and catching up with the new reading technologies and at the same time also an attempt to try to relaunch the magazine itself, the most recent period has seen a decline in the number of readers. To celebrate the event then, and to promote the transition from paper to digital, the new number (and this is the second novelty) is offered to readers in a totally free and free hosting space on eBookGratis.net , the famous Italian portal dedicated to the ebook. All thanks to the collaboration of Alessio Valsecchi and popular site La Tela Nera ( http://www.latelanera.com/ ), a point of reference for all fans of horror.
Passing SL from traditional paper to electronic format is an experiment - it is hoped - will bring new readers discover the world of Lovecraftian Mythos, to study the figure and work of the writer who, more than any other, has revolutionized the horror and fantastic literature, marking the transition from Gothic to modern, old-fashioned to the supernatural. From next number 13, however, will also return the printed version of SL, which will complement the mail.
Introduced by a beautiful cover by illustrator Matthew Bocci, the content of this number 12 shows, even in this new look, full of content: over 200 pages of articles, essays and reviews on every aspect revolves around Lovecraft and his fantastic universe. More than a magazine, therefore, a true e-book in every respect!
And as always the best of Italian and international criticism is placed on the pages of Lovecraftian Studies . It starts with a real piece guncotton: detailed analysis and all-round sexual aspects in the narrative of HPL. Written by an expert and veteran of the magazine what Luca Foffano , in "Shadow of the exhibition" addresses the hot topic with meticulous skill and, we might say, with "lightness", without ever touching the trivial that a similar theme to "pupae and tentacles" may portend. But there are also several statements of the writer about his contempt and disregard for the appearance of "less" that he recognizes the existence of sexuality, quite sorprendentela his fiction expresses exactly the opposite!
Following is perhaps one of the longest essays (and interesting) from those presented in the pages of SL, reworking of a thesis of the Good Giulio show where four recurrent themes in Lovecraft that prove significant for a greater understanding of the author. And yet, through an "anatomical dissection and literature of the Old Lovecraftian, operated with almost surgical precision by Umberto valid Sisia , you get to another one of the most original pieces in this issue: in" The Music by Erik S .'ll find, in fact, who was the true inspiration for Lovecraft, who - but the real life character as fascinating and mysterious of his fictional counterpart - the enigmatic musician behind the story of the Elsewhere The Music of Erich Zann . A novelty then, and even an absolute revelation for the more savvy among fans Lovecraftian! To guide us in this discovery is Renzo Giorgetti .
E 'then the time of the most experienced of HPL in the world, who more than anyone helped to bring the figure at the top of genre fiction. In the first Italian translation, so here's the piece of ST Joshi comparison between Lovecraft and Fritz Leiber, originally appeared in the pages of Studies in Weird Fiction . The translation was entrusted to one of the most careful work leiberiana experts we have in Italy, Davide Mana , which has also made available to readers a true rarity: Leiber never forget a poem reprinted since its first publication in 1945 in an old American fanzine.
And finally, last but not least , has a place in this issue an interesting dossier on the influence of Lovecraft in popular games, a brilliant and comprehensive digression which gives us a guide Matthew Poropat , in his first appearance in the pages of Lovecraftian Studies.
All this and much more, reviews, reports and critical literature, assorted curiosities (in the "Cthulhu News") is placed on SL 12 , remember that you can download free on eBookGratis.net . E questa è la pagina di riferimento: http://www.ebookgratis.net/ebook.asp?id=469
