My first post on BlueSky with a reminder that my book ‘H. P. Lovecraft Midnight Studies’ is out from Peter Lang Oxford. I argue that HPL is a Romantic.
Oh dear…. I “know” what this is and…. What it is leading to. ‘It was just a colour out of space—a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it…’

I shall be #DJ’ing at #LillivonKohl, #Carlsberg, #Copenhagen on August 15th from 3-6PM.

Expect laid-back grooves, mellow downtempo rhythms, and tasty beats.

Drop by Lilli von Kohl, grab a cocktail, a glass of wine, or a cold beer – and enjoy.

When your enthusiasm for #wetshaving, #cutthroats and comic novels come together. Truefitt & Hill’s #Mayfair in combination with a #Dovo Straight Razor & Jerome K. Jerome’s ‘Three Men in a Boat’ just makes a perfect #summer experience.

My first book #BalancedWonder published in 2019 by Lexington Books is a study of #Wonder & how wonder plays to our #Flourishing as human beings. It also puts forth a preliminary acceptance criterion for wonderment because not everything is worthy of wonder.

In the last chapter of my book ‘H.P. Lovecraft Midnight Studies’ I explore what HPL called ‘The Dunsanien Conjuration’ and argue it is a useful tool for modern people. #HPL, #HPLovecraft, #cthulhu.

Let me know what you intend to read.
