Gil slurred, “This’s Cthulhu.” Then he started crying. Always keeping that toehold in reality, the story coded with all the care of a good hoax, as when Kiernan discusses what might well have been the inspiration for the story: It might have only been a test reel, or perhaps 17,000 or so frames, some twelve minutes, give or take, excised from a far longer film.
Lovecraft let his characters delve into the darkest nature of weird art. Anne M. Pillsworth’s other Mythos fiction includes “The Patience Rose” (2009) and her young adult Redemption’s Heir series Summoned (2014) and Fathomless (2015).
“A Creek In The Floor” was published in Pickman’s Gallery (2018). Later, working as a revisionist, Lovecraft ghost-wrote tales for female clients including “The Curse of Yig” (1928), “The Mound” (1929-1930), and “Medusa’s Coil” (1930) for Zealia Brown Reed Bishop; “The Horror in the Museum” (1932), “Winged Death” (1932), “The Man of Stone” (1932), “Out of the Aeons” (1933), and “The Horror in the Burying-Ground” (1933-1934). While his story could have gone on, the story that Dalpe was telling really ends with the final revelation. Where’s Pete? (ibid, 238).

This approach helps in that it brings an “outsider” ignorant of the Mythos to come investigating, letting the readers re-live their own initiation into the weird mysteries. The title is the hook to reel the reader in, and the import of that one line doesn’t hit the reader until the penultimate sentence. Bobby Derie is the author of Weird Talers: Essays on Robert E. Howard & Others (2019) and Sex and the Cthulhu Mythos (2014). It is what drives the protagonist Charlie Chan deeper into the darkness. There’s something those fellows catch—beyond life—that they’re able to make us catch for a second. August Derleth was more of a collector—and famously used his Guggenheim grant to bind his collection of newspaper comic strips—but he made it into the comics anyway when a writer plagiarized his story “The Ormulu Clock” (1950) for a comic (Forbidden Adventures: The History of the American Comics Group 73).
Readers who have chewed through all of Lovecraft’s work and a hundred pastiches will find a story that can’t be fit into any timeline of the Mythos, and that’s okay. You can purchase it from IndyPlanet for a reasonable price. In one five page sequence, we see nothing but blackness, with the whiteness of the words arranged across the page in a ladder of suspense; and then splashes of torchlight.
"; is rather daunting to anyone not an artistic genius like Richard Upton Pickman. Studies! The latter is essentially what Anne M. Pillsworth does in “The Madonna of the Abattoir” (2014): her protagonists are undead and undying Mythos sorcerers and make no bones to hide that fact from the reader. Holder doesn’t go into the details of “her”—doesn’t even her use common appellation—but it’s a rare story that puts Cthulhu and his mate on sexual parity, so to speak, and the revelation of what has really been going on works well. The story itself is a bit light for the subject; despite appearing in (and probably written exclusively for) the erotic horror Hot Blood series, titillation and gore are not really the point, and Holder never crosses the line into either splatterpunk or erotica. A story doesn’t have to reference Richard Upton Pickman by name to invoke “Pickman’s Model.” When you boil Lovecraft’s story down to its essence, the soul of it’s core message is simple and perfect: there are monsters in the earth, and they eat the dead. Two easels in the center of the room held studies for Pickman’s Madonnas. And she didn’t need a single reference to Pickman to do it, barely uses the g-word. Arguably, Russ didn’t have to use Lovecraft for the story—but who else would she use, in 1964? Alan Moore did much the same thing in “The Courtyard” (1994) and its sequel. Artists have often struggled with censorship, obscenity, and unveiling true forms to the naked eye. At seven pages, the adaptation drastically truncates Lovecraft’s story, and the character of Richard Upton Pickman is replaced by the slightly more generic (but still vaguely Lovecraftian) Eric Gilman; the narrator is replaced by female investigative reporter Pat Carter—shades of Lois Lane and Sally the Sleuth. Comic Vine users. That possible misstep aside, the real focus on the latter part of the story is on the revelations: what Pickman is actually up to, what agents Blake and Innsmouth actually uncover. Pete is the boy Charlie is in love with. Julius Schwartz, the teenager who acted as Lovecraft’s agent to sell “The Shadow out of Time” and “At the Mountains of Madness” to Astounding ended up at DC Comics. Her journalistic instincts are correct, her courage is undoubted, and Pat Carter is tough enough not to “scream like a silly fool.” Hardboiled though she might be, Carter is not prepared for Eric Gilman’s secret…that he paints from life! I can shew you houses that have stood two centuries and a half and more; houses that have witnessed what would make a modern house crumble into powder. A place one would hesitate to visit in broad daylight, let alone at night. And Pickman had it as no man ever had it before or—I hope to heaven—ever will again. FBI Special Agent hunting a serial killer running afoul of the Mythos is at once familiar to many readers but quirky enough to keep them reading. Because for all their knowledge and foreboding, they can’t be sure what is next….
Plagiarism, or at least “borrowing,” was rife in both comics and the pulps; and not even H. P. Lovecraft was immune from it.
There is an argument to be made that repetition dilutes the original idea, but the difference in style and tone between Pillsworth, Kiernan, and Lovecraft is such that while recognizable as distinct episodes with connective elements—as a Mythos of their own—each has something different to say, and the side-by-side comparison speaks more as a commentary on medium than anything else. But whereas Bloch & Derleth were trying to establish the “truth” of Lovecraft’s Mythos in their narrative, and Moore was pursuing a grand metafictional narrative, Holder’s use here feels like a misstep. I Dared to Enter the Haunted Room. Donenfeld switched to producing comic books—and ultimately found Superman more profitable. But they can suspect. In his classic tale "Pickman's Model", grand master and grandfather of the modern horror-tale H.P. The problem for editors and anthologists is that “I Had…” was way ahead of its time. Don’t you know there was a mill on Copp’s Hill in 1632, and that half the present streets were laid out by 1650?
