\nMartian Migraine Press: Innsmouthbreathers \u2013 Cautionary Fables of Mythos Fandom<\/strong><\/p>\n

The editors are looking for \u201chumourous stories of a certain kind of Cthulhu Mythos fan: the rabid Lovecraft\u00a0worshipper,\u00a0<\/em>the defender of the outmoded and outclassed, the pulp reader for whom Weird Fiction peaked somewhere in the middle of the last century.\u201d Stories should pit Innsmouthbreather against all kinds of real and imagined horrors: shoggoths with Social Justice agendas, politically active Deep Ones, or enlightened Mi-Go. They are aiming for light-hearted roasting, a mostly funny book, and not stories that are outright mean or nasty. In short, they invite writers to make readers geek out over Lovecraft.
