The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft

Cover art by Victor Valla

Lancer Books, November 1971

The whole farm was bathed in this mixed color, unknown and hideous: trees, buildings, and mixed greenery and grass which had not completely turned to the fatal disintegration in the gray. The branches all stretched towards the sky, capped with tongues of filthy fire, and shimmering streams of this same monstrous fire slipped around the ridge beams of the house, the barn, the lean-tos. It was a scene inspired by a vision of Füssli, and over everything else reigned this debauchery of luminous inconsistency, this rainbow out of the world and out of measure of secret poison, which arose from the well - bubbling, palpating, enveloping, extending, scintillating, embracing and malignancy of bubbles in its cosmic and unidentifiable chromaticism.

La tumba de Victor Noir en el cementerio de Père - Lachaise por Patrick Magaud, 1984.

Noir es quizás más famoso por su muerte y tumba que por su trabajo. Era un periodista que fue asesinado a tiros; la tumba consiste en una estatua de bronce de tamaño completo del hombre acostado como si le hubieran disparado. La estatua se convirtió en un símbolo de fertilidad - la historia dice que aquellos que besan la estatua en los labios, dejan una flor en el sombrero de Víctor y frotan el área genital se encontrarán con una fertilidad mejorada, una gran vida sexual o un marido en el plazo de un año. El bulto de los labios y pantalones en la tumba son notablemente brillantes por la gente besándolos y frotándolos. En 2004 se construyó una valla alrededor de la tumba para evitar que las mujeres toquen la estatua, pero después de muchas protestas fue derribada.

Heaven Hell Purgatory

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/YUWiMTv by FennB A road trip. Going to work. Leaving a concert. Hitchhiking across the country. Running from the cops. It doesn't matter why they got in their cars, they all ended up in the same place. They all see the tree. Valla's trying to make the best of an impossibly hard situation, but it's easier with Cas at her side. He had that affect on people. Dean just wanted to spend the final week of summer hanging out with his friends and shielding Sammy from their imploding family. God must have some funny ideas about family therapy because instead of a painfully awkward week long camping trip, they find themselves in a town they can't leave, where the monsters come out at night.
