Another Lovecraftian Diversion: Finger Puppets
Sunday, April 6, 2008
A big thanks to Ectomo for posting these recently uncovered Lovecraft Circle finger puppets, courtesy of Necronomicon Press. Spread them far and wide so that all might enjoy delving into eldritch amateur productions that were never meant to be staged! Clark Ashton Smith, H.P. Lovecraft, and Robert E. Howard puppets round out this trio for a balanced diet of weird sci-fi quests, supernatural explorations, and sword and sorcery adventures.
Really, it's too bad there are very few images of Thomas Ligotti in existence. Adding a puppet Ligotti to a set of more contemporary weird masters would be quite fitting, given the prominent role of the mannikin and the puppet in his fiction. Though how the author himself would feel about it is anyone's guess...
