MythosCon: Reviews and Other Autopsies

MythosCon, the great Lovecraftian meet up in Phoenix, Arizona, and the largest since the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and NecronomiCons, has come and gone. The convention reportedly attracted around a couple hundred Lovecraft devotees from January 6-9. Many of the best authors, scholars, and artists in today's Lovecraftian arena were among the attendees. Several intriguing write-ups and photo galleries have appeared since the event's conclusion, but one of the best is Gary Needles' descriptive report.

With few qualms, it sounds as though MythosCon was a small, but lively success. Hopefully, the favorable response means another gathering will follow in 2012 - especially with the Portland HPL Film Festival's demise. If so, details about planning and promotion should begin to trickle out by the middle of this year. As always, Grim Reviews will be on top of it.
