Frank Belknap Long

The trip back might be difficult, but holding tight to his wife's hand, he felt no misgivings, no fear.

The Man from Time by Frank Belknap Long Daring Moonsun he was called.

It was a proud name, a brave name, but what good was a name that rang out like a summons to battle if the man who bore it could not repeat it aloud without fear? Moonsun had tried telling himself that a man could conquer fear if he could but once summon the courage to laugh at all the sins that ever were, and do as he damned well pleased.

an ancient phrase that damned well it went clear back to the elizabethan age and moonsun had tried picturing himself as an elizabethan man with a ruffle at his throat and a rapier in his clasp brawling lustily in a tavern In the Elizabethan age, men had thrown caution to the winds and lived with their whole bodies, not just with their minds alone.

She's a very good dog.

Chaugnar Faugn is the deity/monster from the Frank Belknap Long story The Horror from the Hills, which was published in Weird Tales in 1931.

But although the story is mostly written by Long, it also has a kernel of Lovecraft's work.

Since Long, since Long took an extended description that Lovecraft wrote him of a dream he had, he wrote this to him in a letter, and Long asked his permission to use it in a story, and it's incorporated into The Horror from the Hills largely as Lovecraft wrote it.

It and its brothers are incarnate manifestations of a very ancient, a very malignant, hyperdimensional entity, or call it a principle, if you wish.

A principle so antagonistic to life as we know it that it becomes a spreading blight, as destructive as a nest of cancer cells would be if cancer could be transplanted by surgical means into healthy tissue and continue to grow and proliferate until every vestige of healthy tissue has been destroyed." That's a pretty good description of, like, the science fictional perspective on Cthulhu horror and works, I think, in his later career.

I think, I don't know that much about Frank Belknap Long, but my understanding is that we would think of him really primarily as a science fiction author if it wasn't for his connection to Lovecraft.

It's, it's a good idea.

Well, it's good to see you again.

I have enjoyed the past couple of months Zooming with you as I embody Frank Belknap long.

I don't think I've said it now, but the fact that I am the only member of the cast who have actually met the person they were inhabiting when I was 17 years old at a convention.

I remember nothing about him other than they actually had a mustache, so I had to wear a fake mustache.
