Changersurfer Radio: Lurking Terror: H.P. Lovecraft’s Socialism

SFFaudio Online Audio

H.P. Lovecraft fans take heed, this fascinating and informative interview is absolutely unmissable!

S.T. Joshi‘s matter-of-fact description of Cthulhu’s decent into the Pacific Ocean made me think of Philip K. Dick’s own godlike alien (the Glimmung) in Galactic Pot Healer.

Blackstone Audio: Grover Gardner interviews Stacy Keach

Aural Noir: Online Audio

Blackstone AudiobooksJeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes and Stacy Keach is Mike Hammer. I’ll brook no arguments to dispute either claim. See, I’ve been a Stacy Keach fan since I was a kid. Sure Ralph Meeker was an absolutely terrific Mike Hammer in Kiss Me Deadly, no question there, but that was not the defining portrayal. That started with Keach in the Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer 1984/1985 TV series. Two more Mike Hammer TV series followed, and then it propagated into several of the 1980s audiobooks (I’ve still got Keach’s reading of I, The Jury somewhere around here). So now you know why I was so excited to see that Grover Gardner, himself recently a guest on SFFaudio Podcast #093, had posted a truly engaging new interview with Stacy Keach on the Blackstone Audio blog.

They talked about Blackstone’s Kiss Her Goodbye, a new Max Allan Collins/Mickey Spillane novel, the ongoing The New Adventures Of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer (Volumes 1, 2, 3) audio drama series (which I shamefully still haven’t heard) and they even touch on Keach’s new boxing/crime/family drama TV show Lights Out in which he plays the cagey patriarch to a pair of boxer sons.

In less than a year William Hart has assembled an amazing blog over on CthulhuWho1.com. It’s mostly about Lovecraftiana, but it strays into other areas too. The way I found it was via Fritz Leiber’s detailed Wikipedia entry. Last listed among the audio files there was this gem. An informative scripted interview recorded and released in 1978…
