Chapter 10 of Welcome to Dunwich is up and the hills are rumbling! We have three chapters to go in this story. I am inking the new Gods of Aazurn: Witches story now and plan to launch that on Webtoons January 2019.

I did the math and the Webtoons thing is well over 500 pages of story. If you haven't read 'em all, you better get crackin'!

Remember to "Like" each story to move me up the Webtoons list -- but of COURSE you'll remember! Because you are the best!

Stay Calm.

 

Stay calm and help calm others. Most of the panic is simply marketing.

The mayhem at Gods of Aazurn could help you relax. My Creepy magazine, '70s horror movie, and classic monster influences, though disturbing, are eerily comforting. Weren't those the days, when we argued over horror media? Wasn't Lovecraft an entertaining chap?

Don't forget to hit the heart icon to Like each story. I use the hearts as bookmarks so I can quickly find where I left off reading a Webtoons story. You may need that tool, as there are now 19 binge-worthy chapters of Gods of Aazurn.

(I'm hoping my current storyline doesn't get me kicked off the platform, so you should probably get over there soon.)

Did you ever have one of those days? The flutes in your head just won't leave you alone. And why are there runes in your basement?

Upholding the "Holy S*** That was Deep" Tradition

 

Kyley Kelley's comment about last week's free Welcome to Duwich chapter was, "After reading this my main thought was holy s*** that was deep!"

YES, IT'S DEEP. Drinking too much coffee and happy to uphold the "holy s*** that was deep" tradition that peaked with early Vertigo and has since waned. Meanwhile Welcome to Dunwich is intensifying in strange ways.

TOO MANY REFERENCES. Last week's Dunwich was a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch House. This week and next I reference even more HPL: Brown Jenkin from Witch House, the beginnings of my hints at an extended basement, a la The Rats in the Walls, a (possible) Nyarlathotep character, the monolithic burial sites of the Pocumtucks from The Dunwich Horror, and a hit on a joint ("Beware the Steps of Deeper Slumber." From The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath), all wrapped up in a night rave in Dunwich, Massachusetts.

Oh, and the chant in the music: Yog-Sothoth! YOG-SOTHOTH!

Yes, there are references, but it is, above all, a story. Should we hope Taylor's adventure turns out better than Sam's from last week? Or just let Dunwich have it's way?

Chapter six is up, a binge-worthy number for you to experience this evening. Click "Read It Here!" at StrangeHorror.com and please leave Likes!

In Charge

I’ve seen development done with respect to the local architecture that is simply magnificent. I’ve also seen perfectly salvageable 100-year-old brickwork ripped down like that kind of craftsmanship is still affordable and replaceable.

Gentrification, a process of renovating deteriorated neighborhoods to appeal to more affluent residents, is not necessarily evil. Like many things in capitalist-oriented America, it all comes down to who is in charge. Your thoughts? Comment at Webtoons.

TODAY'S WELCOME TO DUNWICH CHAPTER. Aylesbury, Massachusetts is a Lovecraft creation mentioned only in relationship to other towns. I use it in this chapter as a nearby example of a successfully “updated” town.

If you’ve read The Dunwich Horror you know about the Whateleys. If you haven’t, why not? The entire story is in public domain and online. Read it now.

Welcome to Dunwich is a free Webcomic and part of my Gods of Aazurn series. To get there, click "Read it here" at StrangeHorror.com

Only many, many Likes on each chapter will satisfy our Aazurn overlords!
