Famed underground horror/sci-fi writer H.P. Lovecraft was born on August 20th in 1890.

In honor of H.P. Lovecraft’s birthday, the website FlamesRising.com is conducting what they are calling a week filled with Cthulhu! Whether you’re a gamer or a horror aficionado, they seem to be offering something for everybody.

Below is the information from the website.

"Cthulhu Week at FlamesRising.com is special in a lot of ways because of Lovecraft’s influence on the horror genre. Over the years, we’ve covered books, movies, games and music that were either directly or indirectly related to the Cthulhu Mythos. Hands down, Cthulhu is definitely your favorite elder god. Previously published articles have included interviews with Kenneth Hite, Joseph Vargo and A. Scott Glancy, as well as our coverage of the Trail of Cthulhu RPG, Unspeakable Words board game and the Beyond the Wall of Sleep review. This week, we have a lot of fun reviews and other goodies in the pipeline, including a wonderful contribution from Robin D. Laws, who provided the rules design for TRAIL OF CTHULHU!!!

If you don’t want to lose your mind, be sure to stay tuned this week as we travel to the underwater city of Ry’leh to embrace all things Cthulhu! “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!”
