Aa-shanta'nygh! You're free! Return the Gods of the land to their home in unknown Kadath! And pray that you never get to know me in any of my other thousand incarnations... For I am Nyarlathotep The creeping chaos!

Randolph Carter, a traveler to dreamland, tries not to wake up before reaching his goal, the elusive Kadath: the home of the gods, a place of fantasy and overflowing imagination. Carter walks through a world full of threats and abominable monsters, but also of palaces, exuberant cities, and geographies that remind man of his insignificant role on the gigantic cosmic chessboard. What are the reasons to keep going when everything around us is terrifying and lethal? Kadath may offer some answers to this question! An adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath unlike anything you've read before.

"… I’m going to take a quick look at a Lovecraft work slightly off the trail of cosmic horror: The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath. Like Poe’s The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, I consider ‘Dream-Quest’ to be a flawed, but imaginatively powerful, novella/short novel of fantasy adventure with elements of cosmic horror.

I have a fair amount to say regarding ‘Dream-Quest’ (and the Dreamlands tales in general), but that is for another day. Tonight, I want to look at an artistic tribute to HPL’s novel: Tom Sutton’s 1978 portfolio, ‘The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath’…"

On August 20, 1968, a monumental event took place that would alter the course of the Cold War. The Soviet Union, along with Warsaw Pact allies, invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring, a period of political liberalization and mass protest against the communist regime. This military intervention was a stark reminder of the geopolitical tensions of the time and highlighted the lengths to which the Soviet Union would go to maintain its influence in Eastern Europe. The invasion led to widespread international condemnation and had lasting implications for the region's political landscape.

In the realm of science and exploration, August 20th marks an important milestone. In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 2 spacecraft, one of the most ambitious and successful space missions in history. Voyager 2 was designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer planets of our solar system. It provided humanity with unprecedented images and data about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, revolutionizing our understanding of the solar system. To this day, Voyager 2 continues to send back data from the edge of interstellar space, a testament to human ingenuity and the quest for knowledge.

Turning to the arts, August 20, 1890, saw the birth of H.P. Lovecraft, an American writer who would become one of the most influential figures in the genre of horror fiction. Lovecraft's works, characterized by their cosmic horror and the notion of forbidden knowledge, have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists. Despite his lack of mainstream success during his lifetime, Lovecraft's legacy endures, and his stories continue to captivate and terrify readers around the world.

August 20th also holds significance in the world of sports. On this day in 2008, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt won the gold medal in the 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics, setting a new world record with a time of 19.30 seconds. Bolt's extraordinary performance solidified his status as one of the greatest sprinters of all time and brought immense pride to his home country of Jamaica. His achievements on the track have made him a global icon and an inspiration to athletes everywhere.

In the realm of music, August 20, 1964, saw the release of The Beatles' single "A Hard Day's Night" in the United States. The song, which was the title track for both their third studio album and their first feature film, quickly became a hit and is now considered one of the band's classic tracks. The Beatles' impact on music and popular culture cannot be overstated, and "A Hard Day's Night" remains a testament to their innovative and enduring legacy.

These are just a few of the many significant events that have occurred on August 20th throughout history.

"Japanese artist Gou Tanabe made his first appearance at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Known for his manga adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novels, Tanabe first started with the publication of The Outsider in 2007 and has continued his work to now. His take on The Shadow Over Innsmouth was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. After meeting fans at the Dark Horse booth, he spoke with Anime News Network on his approach to visualizing Lovecraftian horror and publishing them in the seinen manga magazine Comic Beam. Joined alongside him were his editor, Hayato Shimizu, Michael Gombos (Sr. Director of Licensed Publications at Dark Horse), and Zack Davisson (translator for The Shadow Over Innsmouth)..."

The father of cosmic horror that gave readers such monsters as Cthulhu was writer H.P. Lovecraft, whose most famous tale "The Call of Cthulhu," is a short story written in 1926 published in Weird Tales, a pulp magazine in February 1928.

Inspired by his grandfather's Gothic stories and Edgar Allen Poe, among others, Lovecraft's stories tell stories of men unlocking forbidden and indescribable knowledge, fate, civilizations in decline, and other dark themes. Many comic creators have followed in Lovecraft's steps with their own takes on this genre, writing stories in the same vein, adding the visual component to the written word.

They are:

1. Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter
2. Gideon Falls
3. Dynamite Comics' Re-Animator
4. Dr. Herbert West & Astounding Tales in Medical Malpractice
5. Revival
6. Nameless
7. Harrow County
8. The Courtyard/Neonomicon/ Providence
9. The Wake
10. Locke & Key

I found this good one online. Anyone want to try making something up? I'll give it a go.

Hours after the anomaly Matt nervously glanced at the battery icon of his VR interface and asked his friend in the VR chatroom, "Won't it help to get in a dark basement or something and not look outside?"

His friend replied with a flat voice, "Josh was here with me in the bunker when his VR died out ...all i can hear was his scream, and now everything feels wet ...and slimy"

I find this cool short movie adaptaton, creepy as hell. Check it yourself.

Novel by H. P. Lovecraft

Synopsis

The narrative follows a professor who experiences a profound amnesia. As he struggles to reclaim his memories, he is haunted by vivid and disturbing dreams that hint at his past experiences during the time his consciousness was displaced.

Peaslee by M.S.Corley

He unaccountably sees strange vistas of other worlds and of an ancient library city. When he is returned to his own body, he finds that those around him have judged him insane due to the actions of "the other" that possessed his body. While he was experiencing an alien existence in Earth's ancient past, the "other" occupying his body was experiencing a human one in the present day.

Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee - By miguelzuppo

The narrator at first believes his episode and subsequent dreams to be the product of some kind of mental illness. His initial relief at discovering other cases like his throughout history is withered when he discovers that the other cases are too similar to his own to be without a connection. The narrator's dreams become more vivid, and he becomes obsessed with archaeology and ancient manuscripts.

The Great Race of Yith by Pahapasi.

His tenuously held sanity is challenged when he discovers the proof he seeks—and that not only do remains of the ancient library still exist on Earth, but also the remain of those who destroyed them...

Known by the innocuous moniker La Rotonda del Mar or The Rotunda By The Sea, the surprisingly sinister installation is the work of Guadalajaran sculptor, Alejandro Colunga. The eight bronze thrones, unveiled at the end of 1996, are positioned at irregular intervals around a stone circle, with the sea lapping right up to the edge. The tall, amorphous chairs are topped with impressionistic sea creatures like an octopus and a seahorse, that seem to be parts of the thrones themselves. Many of the seats are also supported by legs that end in claws or organic “feet,” making them seem like strange, eldritch monuments. They seem to have been designed with whimsy in mind, but the dark, Lovecraftian influences can’t help but shine through.

Horror fans who have never played the Arkham Horror tabletop game or read the H.P. Lovecraft stories that inspired it will still find plenty to love in Dark Horse Comics' new adaptation, Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time. Based on the sprawling Cthulhu mythology, Arkham Horror was originally a board game turned tabletop franchise that has players explore Arkham, Massachusetts while investigating means to destroy an elder god. Like its inspiration, the franchise is a stylized fusion of 1920s private investigator tropes and otherworldly cult horror.

Since its original release, the Arkham Horror franchise has inspired numerous books and expansions, and now it has its own comic series. Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time by Cullen Bunn and Andrea Mutti follows a young debutante and a hired PI as they investigate the disappearance of the woman’s sister following her abduction by an eldritch-worshipping cult.

While the first issue doesn’t show much of the dark magical aspects that readers know will follow in future installments, the series already promises a high-stakes adventure unafraid of delving into the monstrous horror it’s based on.

"Andrea Mutti’s art fills every scene with menace. Every panel has a hint of shadow and darkness, as if in this world daytime doesn’t exist, this Earth is continually locked in sunset.

If you’re a fan of H. P. Lovecraft or a good mystery story with horror overtones, pick this up – it’s the beginning of what promises to be a very haunting story..."
