Lovecraft Festival 2017 August 17-27

There are a lot of SL events that are kind of predictable. You go to Hair Fair, or Skin Fair, you know what to expect. I go to Lovefest every year and never see it coming! This year's event offers shopping galore, dancing, shows, a gacha pier and an awesome underwater quest.

Lovefest honors all things Lovecraftian. I've loved the stories of HP Lovecraft for half a century and still think they blow all other horror tales right out of the water. Tuesday afternoons @ 5pm slt frequently find me sitting in the Innsmouth Lovecraft Visitor's Center listening to someone reading a Lovecraft story. It's my me time.

Modern horror writers borrow from him all the time and the good ones acknowledge the inspiration he provided. One of the reasons that movies made from his stories tend to fall flat is that nobody has ever managed to convey the feeling of dread inspired by the original stories. It's an internal process and impossible to replicate or represent on film.

Yes, he overused certain words,  but he was creating an atmosphere and he managed to get inside our heads no matter how many times we may groan when we read about that spectral gibbous moon. Thank you, Arik Metzger and all the other crazies in Innsmouth for yet another accursed amorphous affair!
