Also there are 2 new issues of Nightscapes, a very good online zine. These are the first issues in 3 years.

...it does have drawbacks. I just referred to a co-worker as "squamous".

I've had a chance to read stories that I've searched for since college.
It took me nearly twenty years to find "The King in Yellow", and the letters from Lovecraft to Fritz Leiber are a treasure to me, who loved both authors.
The M.R. James stories, Lovecraft's scholarly examination of the genre, all these would have been out of reach in my younger days.
The internet is in many ways a vast hoax, but it has advanced scholarship enormously.
Once, examining obscure sources, or out of print books, required either a journey, or an interlibrary loan, which in turn required waiting or travel time.
Now, this is done at the speed of light.
Unfortuneately, most of what the net contains is pornography, insane ranting and outright lies.
Well, life can't be too easy, now.

When I first started getting into the older horror writers, I had similar difficulty in finding the books. Sometimes I was able to find what I was looking for in the library but I seem to remember doing a fair amount of special ordering at the bookstore. I can still remember getting a blue hardback, no dustcover, of Machen's The Great God Pan. Even finding Lovecraft paperbacks was a novelty (this was back in '90). I still have an old cheaply produced digest-sized volume of Lovecraft's poetry that I ordered through the mail about that time.

It was internet for me as well that brought me back to these things. I discovered Blackmask.com (now offline because of a lawsuit) and began to sift through the horror/supernatural category. I can't tell you how enjoyable it was to return to those stories again. Whether Lovecraft, Blackwood or Benson (the last of which had been unfamiliar to me until then), it was like meeting old friends.

And yes, the internet has a lot of garbage on it. I try to avoid that part.

I can't read much Spanish but there are great pictures under "precursores" and "adeptos".
