WORLD’S FAIR 1915

WORLD’S FAIR 1915 - Reemerging like a phoenix from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake, the 1915 World’s Fair Pan Pacific Exposition, hosted visitors from around the world. Today’s blog post features postcards from the festival, including the Palace of Fine Arts, the only structure that survives to this day (then and now). The public library link takes you to a map, click on the locations to open period photos, of the original exposition. The fair’s centennial begins now and includes events such as lighting the Palace of Fine Arts/ Ferry Building along with events at the de Young and California Historical Society museums.

DUNWICH HORROR SHORT STORY REVIEW

DUNWICH HORROR SHORT STORY REVIEW - HP Lovecraft’s ‘The Dunwich Horror’ first appeared in Weird Tales in 1929. It was made into a B movie in 1970 and a TV movie in 2009. Stephen King’s ‘The Dark Tower’ series is said by some to have drawn inspiration from this source. The story is central to the Cthulhu Mythos and one of Lovecraft’s few, wherein the hero defeats the forces of evil.
