Panelists explore the curious link between Satan and the Cthulhu Mythos. How do figures like Cthulhu and Nyarlathotep fill the role of Lucifer in his mythology? Who borrowed from whom? Also, what aspects of the Cthulhu Mythos get worked into the ritual and rite of modern belief systems, like Satanism? Price, Brock, Moore, Stross
A discussion of Lovecraft’s heroes as other. Olmstead in “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” “The Outsider,” “Arthur Jermyn,” and “Rats in The Walls;” all have a main character with either an unfortunate hereditary trait or a penchant for being an unwitting monster. Panelists will explore Lovecraft’s themes of identity, loss of self, and what it means to be a monster. Rawlik, McMillan, Renwick, Joshi, Price
Scott Connors will use slides of Clark Ashton Smith’s fantastic painting and sculpture to navigate us through the artistic waters that poured from the Emporer of Dreams.
