Cthulhu Reborn is a small independent publisher of horror roleplaying books based around the horrors, gods, and bad vibes created by H.P. Lovecraft and friends.
Our Bundle of Holding deal is steaming along, having just passed 420 bundles (~13,000 books) sold. The deal (link @ end of thread) runs 8 more days.
I promised a "behind the scenes" anecdote for every 100 bundles sold so I now owe two.
Here's one .. about H.P. Lovecraft's Book of Yog-Sothothery.

Happy Hallowe'en, to those who ... revel in the spirits of the holiday.
Not quite 100 years old, here's a poem by H.P. Lovecraft celebrating the spookiness of the season.
Also: this may just be the creepiest poem ever written mentioning lemurs. Just saying.

If you're a Lovecraftian TTRPG aficionado (for any game system), you should really check out Shoggoth.net's awesome Octobernomicon event (which has run for years). Fan-contributed Mythos creations every day. A great way to give or get some new horrors.

Today is H.P. Lovecraft's (135th!) Birthday. Traditionally we release a new product to celebrate the occasion each year. Sadly we don't have any new horrors to unleash today (but have some announcements soon).
Nevertheless, we thought it might be fun to look back at previous years' birthday treats.

We've been accused of being the world's worst publisher when it comes to promoting our catalogue of Lovecraftian goodies online. It's a fair cop -- the world seems so full of hype that adding to the noisepile kind of makes my skin crawl. OTOH it's the best way of people finding out what we've made.
