You of all people know that any time my creations are linked to Lovecraft, I’m like a happy father seeing his offspring doing well in life!

Thank You for the “Congratulations!”

As a life-long fan, any time my creations are linked to Lovecraft, I’m like a happy father seeing his offspring doing well in life!

The book is a wonderful volume; which may be followed by another that will include more of everyone’s favorite tales.

Will

The volume itself looks to be a great introduction to HPL, with most of his classic stories, with one jarring exception: “The Quest of Iranon”? There’s no accounting for taste, but still, this is a particularly whiny piece. I would have chosen “The Other Gods” or even “The Doom That Came to Sarnath” as a more representative piece of Dunsanian fiction, or even “The White Ship”, if the idea of outgrowing the sense of wonder was the theme desired.

]]> Comment on H. P. Lovecraft Will Be In The April-2011 Issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine! by Wilum Pugmire http://cthulhuwho1.com/2011/01/21/h-p-lovecraft-will-be-in-the-april-2011-issue-of-famous-monsters-of-filmland-magazine/#comment-673 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 03:12:41 +0000 http://cthulhuwho1.com/?p=1192#comment-673 Just did a YouTube video shewing my copy of the current FM. It’s cool to have my photo in there, first time in almost 40 years, and to have my photo next to Ramsey’s. The last time I had my photo in an issue of FM was issue #104, 1973, I think. I had just been transferred from Ireland to Las Vegas as an LDS missionary and I was beginning my real discovery of H. P. Lovecraft (it was in a Vegas bookshop that I found a pb volume of TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS). It’s cool to think of my journey since then, from just becoming an obsess’d fan to this month, in which Ihave two new Lovecraftian collections publish’d. It’s been an amazing journey.

Really great to hear from you after so many years! But I am very sorry that you too, have lost your mother. Other than our being far older, fatter, lazier, and in my case, balder, Jean and I are still going. I’ll send you a private email for more personal, non-Lovecraftian discussions… Will

I’ll dig into it more when I some free time, which is unfortunately not in great abundance right now. My mom died a few months ago, so my time outside the day job is pretty well consumed with estate matters. Since I’ve been wading through various artifacts of the old days, when the bookstore was still open, I decided to search for any reference to Hourglass Productions on the web. And out popped your blog! Hope you and Jean are doing well.

You are very welcome!

I didn’t want to frighten you in the parking lot, in my grubby, driving-my-wife-to-Wal-Mart clothes; but I try to never pass up a chance to share Lovecraftian interests.

So I’m very glad you took the time to write, and to share the info with your friends too!

As you look at, read, and listen to the images, documents, and audio from my CthulhuWho1 sites, please keep in mind that “What’s Mine, Is Yours!”

Help yourself to all I offer; and feel free to share any of it you like. That’s why I’ve uploaded everything.

And if you every find time to listen to any of my readings (like my latest, H. P. Lovecraft’s, “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward”), please let me know if they work for you too.

Crazy in Fullerton,

Will

ps
I’m posting this on CthulhuWho1.com and by Email too.
Plus, I’m adding your email address to my email list,
so you’ll hear from me when I add something major to my sites.

Your collections are very impressive, and I shared your card with my fanatic friends on Facebook who went gaga for all that you have here.

Hart by cthulhuwho1 http://cthulhuwho1.com/2012/08/28/h-p-lovecrafts-the-case-of-charles-dexter-ward-in-a-free-unabridged-reading-and-performance-by-sag-aftra-actor-william-e-hart/#comment-553 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:51:25 +0000 http://cthulhuwho1.com/?p=1721#comment-553 Pat, Thank You for calling my effort a “Great Job!” And I also Thank You for getting back to me after you finished listening; and for helping to spread the word over on Reddit!

I wonder if you noticed, the one single, rather humorous line that caused me to make Dr. Willet a Southern Doctor, and one who might have a need for a bit of a restorative drink or two?

In Dr. Willet’s 12-April-1928 letter to Theodore (Charles Ward’s father), he states, “I am going South for a while to calm down and brace up.”

I loved the “going South” reference, indicating to me that he was from there and heading back home for a bit; and I chuckled at the down-up reference, while believing that the “calm down and brace up” could mean that he was going to do some serious drinking!

Perhaps this isn’t what Lovecraft (the non-drinker) had in mind, but it’s the way my mind read it.

Great job. I liked your portrayal of Willett – he’s tougher with the right accent than he comes across in text.

I really like the pacing of CDW – the early climax of the assault on Curwen’s tower sets the stage for Willett’s ultimate confrontation with Curwen well and gives the intervening story a lot more import. AtMoM is more one big slow build, but CDW plays differently with the two notable peaks of tension. I actually think CDW would make a good movie.

I thank you for your compliment of my Charles Dexter Ward reading/performance, and I also want to Thank You for taking the time to listen and comment.

My track record on my web sites (with over 450,000 clicks) shows that I get one comment for roughly every 3300 clicks; so you are a rare person, and I truly appreciate your kind words.

Even my wife got a kick out of your response!

Thank You Again,
and I hope you’ll help yourself to my other audio files too!

Will

I’m only at the part where Curwen takes over CDW’s identity in full but you’re really bringing this story to life. CDW is one of my favourites and you’re doing it justice.
