if you haven’t had the joy of reading John Linwood Grant, i recommend you pick up this book: https://journalstone.com/bookstore/where-all-is-night-and-starless/

JLG is not a Lovecraft imitator. he creates his own universe, at times using Lovecraftian elements as springboards into more nuanced explorations of the human condition.

when JLG creates his own creatures and entities, they never fail to be convincing and unsettling.

he also orchestrates the publication of the delightful Occult Detective magazine, which recently released a new issue. http://greydogtales.com/blog/occult-detective-magazine/

to boot, he has a quirky sense of humor that shines through in almost everything i’ve seen him do
