Paul Fricker Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 https://blasphemoustomes.com/2023/07/04/the-hounds-of-tindalos-by-frank-belknap-long/ Following on from our time travel episodes, we thought we should find an example of how these tropes have been used in the Cthulhu Mythos. Happily, Frank Belknap Long’s seminal story, “The Hounds of Tindalos”, is about as good an example as we could ask for. As well as showing us a very genre-appropriate method for exploring time, it introduces one of the weirdest and scariest antagonists in the Mythos. We explore the curves and angles of the story, and briefly discuss the life and works of Frank Belknap Long. In addition to his role as a core member of the Lovecraft Circle, Long has the distinction of being the first person after Lovecraft to write a Mythos story. But that was just a small part of a career that spanned over 70 years and multiple genres. News Paul in Bayt al Azif Issue 5 of Bayt al Azif includes an article by Paul in which he discusses his favourite beginner scenarios for Call of Cthulhu. Paul at Continuum Paul will be at the Continuum convention in Leicester later this month, running games and propping up the bar.
