The Voice before the Void: Arcana, Story, Poetry

Happy Walpurgisnacht!

It is a good subject for a poem.

-The Voice before the Void

“The Last Night”

Clark Ashton Smith

Walpurgisnacht:

Some weirdness for Walpurgisnacht.

-The Voice before the Void

“Yonaguni Monument”

Wikipedia

Walpurgisnacht:

A moral ghost story with a brilliant resolution — completely unsatisfying as genre fiction; completely satisfying as literature.

-The Voice before the Void

“The Ghosts”

Lord Dunsany

Walpurgisnacht:

Glorious pulpy fiction; wonderfully weird fiction.

-The Voice before the Void

“Monsters of the Pit”

Paul S. Powers

Walpurgisnacht!

For Lovecraftian, found manuscript, weird horror club stories, this is as good as it gets.

March 15 is World Contact Day.

“World Contact Day”

Wikipedia

World Contact Day was first declared in March 1953 by an organization called the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB), as a day on which all IFSB members would attempt to send a telepathic message into space.

The IFSB voted to hold such a day in 1953, theorising that if both telepathy and alien life were real, a large number of people focussing on an identical piece of text may be able to transmit the message through space. IFSB members focused on the following message during 1953:

“Calling occupants of interplanetary craft! Calling occupants of interplanetary craft that have been observing our planet EARTH. We of IFSB wish to make contact with you. We are your friends, and would like you to make an appearance here on EARTH. Your presence before us will be welcomed with the utmost friendship. We will do all in our power to promote mutual understanding between your people and the people of EARTH. Please come in peace and help us in our EARTHLY problems. Give us some sign that you have received our message. Be responsible for creating a miracle here on our planet to wake up the ignorant ones to reality. Let us hear from you. We are your friends.”

The message is referenced in the song “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft,” recorded in 1976 by Klaatu and later covered by The Carpenters.

On the event’s 60th anniversary, World Contact Day was extended to a whole week.

Steve and Zack play Call of Cthulhu as Kurt Cobain, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Eazy-E versus Saddam Hussein in the early ’90s. Explicit.
