An Embarrassment of Lovecraftian Goodies

Ladies and ghouls, Migraineers of all ages, shapes, and oneiric frequencies: is this not a glorious time to be alive? Do we, as consumers of weird media, not paddle, nay, SWIM, in a deep lake, no! pounding cataract, wait! a vast boiling sea of cosmic horror goodness? Can any age previous to ours come close to the variety and sheer creative joi de vivre of the current crop of weird fictioneers producing films, audio dramas, animations, comics, and lest we forget, actual books? Filled with readable stories, even? We here at MMP HQ say “no”. No age can compare, and so we invite you not to try, because your time is valuable. Instead, relax, and know that we sit on the crinkly fractal edge of a golden age, pushing forward into unheard of terrors and wonders! Ours is an embarrassment of riches.
Yup. It’s pretty cool.
For instance, just take a look at this widdle old screenshot from Amazon.com …
Why, yes, well spotted! That is our own Cthulhusattva: Tales of the Black Gnosis, sitting cheek by jowl with Paula Guran’s weighty and wonderful Mammoth Book of Cthulhu and the slow literary burn of the Lovecraft eZine’s Autumn Cthulhu (edited by the redoubtable Mike Davis), its pages redolent with the aroma of woodsmoke and existential despair. These, friends and readers, are the books that discerning Lovecraftian tastemakers BUY TOGETHER! And, it should be noted, at a not insignificant total cost. That’s 40 bucks and change American! Our Canuck brainmeats boggle at the exchange rate. What a thing!
It’s clear to us, as items like this come to our attention, and as we thrill to unprecedented sales of Cthulhusattva, that you like (maybe even love?) what you’re reading, from our humble press and that of others, and we here at MMP HQ feel that such naked joy and enthusiasm for all things R’lyehian and weird in general should be rewarded. So, as a small token of our own appreciation, we present to you the following FREE OFFER…
If you’ve purchased, through Amazon, a copy (physical or digital) of Cthulhusattva: Tales of the Black Gnosis, along with one or more of the books above (or indeed any other suitably Cthulhu-riffic tome or tomes), simply forward an electronic copy of your Amazon digital receipt to bookstore@martianmigrainepress.com and we will gift you with a random MMP ebook in the format of your choice. We’re going to leave this offer open until August 31, 2017.
It’s our way of saying thank you. Thank you for being weird, for reading, for putting your money where your passions are, and above all, for Keeping It R’lyeh.
Stay tuned to this space for new of our themed anthology for 2017! Submission guidelines will be posted before the week is out!

Some Clues to the Theme of 2017s MMP Anthology

Mostly we’ve been posting these to the MMP Facebook page. Little visual hints that point to the theme for the upcoming anthology (which we will be announcing fairly soon) but social media being what it is (temporary, transitory, and generally without memory, even for short periods) we’ve decided to place all the hints so far here on the website, in order that a more gestalt based understanding of the theme may be utilized by the intelligent Migraineer. You know who we are, and you know what we do and have done… take a gander over these images, let the free association flow, and if you think you’ve got it … well, keep it to yourself?
Psychedelic washes of colour, often epilepsy inducing, and spacey art out of the ordinary…
Something wrong with Nature itself… maybe it’s in the water?!
Film references…
