The Dream

“The Dream”

Once upon a time,
there was young man obsessed with H. P. Lovecraft’s stories
who wanted to write dark tales of cosmic horror
that with their reading riots and delusions would ensue.

He hears Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn in his sleep.

This young man soon grew up, 
attended Beloit College for his BA in Creative Writing
and Hamline University for his Writing Masters. He wrote
a couple good yarns including Lovecraft’s Mythos. One
such story is about a bike messenger who sees elder signs
and creepy graffiti in downtown Minneapolis, MN.

He hears Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn in his sleep.

Still, Lovecraft haunts the master writer’s dreams. He
is seeks out all things Lovecraftian, comic, games, movies,
everything. He must see it all, like one of Lovecraft’s doomed
characters he searches out dangerous knowledge that will
no doubt someday break his mind.

He hears Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn in his sleep.

This writer want’s nothing more than to spend all his days
consumed with Lovecraft’s work. The dream to teach his writing,
or to help build a ‘complete works of’ edition, is always at
the back of his mind. At the very least, this writer hopes his reviews
will help keep the horror alive.

He hears Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn in his sleep.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhatgn!
