CTHULHU 2012

Posted on Saturday, October 10, 2009 by Richard Gavin | 2 comments

I was very pleased to learn that my story "Annexation" will be appearing in David Wynn's Cthulhu 2012 anthology, due out from Mythos Books next year.

Although the book's Table of Contents cannot be revealed at this juncture, believe me when I say it is formidable. All the stories explore, in a variety of ways, both Lovecraftian themes and/or motifs along with the rich Mayan mythology associated with the year 2012.

Several years ago I experienced a vivid dream involving Mesoamerican settings and iconography. After several false starts at short stories, I concluded that these images would remain as a dream journal entry.

Once I dovetailed these images with some touches of Lovecraftian horror, however, "Annexation" was born.

Congratulations! I'm hopeful this sees print before 2012 has passed us by...

Silly man! The book will *have* to see print before then, 'cause come Dec. 21st, 2012, the world shall see no more...

Thanks for the congratulations. I'm really pleased that David liked "Annexation."
