Is Magick Real? [witchcraft - occult - supernatural - paranormal]

Is magick real?  Could it just be an as yet unknown form of quantum physics?  Lovecraft oftentimes used scientific theories to explain the supernatural and occult.   In the end, Lovecraft's cosmic indifference supports Gerard 't Hooft and Leonard Susskind's Holographic Universe principle; we don't matter especially because none of this is real.

Cthulhu fhtagn!

Pickman's App - original cover art

Pickman's App is a modern storyline continuation of Lovecraft's works Pickman's Model, Azathoth, and The Transition of Juan Romero which are combined into a twisting tale of dark discoveries.

The picture above is the cover art that I went with, but originally was going to use other artwork by nakaoart.  I contacted the artist about commissioning their art to use for the cover, but they were unfortunately going through some difficult family matters and would have to get back to me.  They never got back to me.

Here is the original artwork I wanted to use:

This art reflects the playful yet hidden monstrous sides of the mysterious lead character Ebrill.

Instead, other artwork was used, and this is how Ebrill turned out.  Not as "animated" but still portraying an incredible noir cool with only a couple pictures.

Miskatonic University map

Miskatonic University map with notable locations.  Everybody loves maps.  I like to have them when I'm writing so I whipped this one up.  I used Dave's Mapper (https://davesmapper.com/) for the initial layout, then added all the school buildings as they normally appear at establishments of higher education.  I really like the "non-Euclidean" aesthetic of the layout, the chaotic pattern makes me think that after decades of mysterious occurrences and random damage and destruction of various school buildings that the campus is a place you can easily get lost or turned around in.  Feel free to use it for your Call of Cthulhu or other horror RPG or whatever.

Lovecraft meets Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

Issue #84 of the Elvira, Mistress of the Dark comic book starring the titular character features the story "Shadow of Sinnsport," a direct reference to "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."  The Lovecraft character, though obviously picturing the author himself, is named Professor Lucifer Conal of Mastadonic University.  It revolves around the search for the Heckronomicon and includes lots of the other puns you'd expect from an Elvira comic.  It features a fishmen attack and a decent, if not super cliché, ending.
