Something Fishy

Artist "Dark Wraith" sculpted this very nice interpretation of a Deep One that he calls "The Innsmouth Look". The detail work on the base is very shoggothy, if you know what I mean.

I was really dissapointed to read that people were criticising your blog. I have been following it for quiet a bit. I have been trying to get together some bizarre magic like you found on dragonskull. Your things and links have some wonderful stuff and I am very grateful that you share it with us. Many thanks. It annoys me that something freely given is treated in this way, but they are probably the same people that don't bother thanking you when you hold a door open

Kindest regards

What's All This?

Propnomicon focuses on horror and fantasy props of interest to fans of H. P. Lovecraft and players of the "Call of Cthulhu" role playing game. That includes items directly inspired by Lovecraft's writing, DIY information for creating your own works, printable paper props, and source materials related to the 1920's and 30's, the "classic era" of the Cthulhu Mythos. Beyond that, the proprietor of the blog also enjoys pulp action stories, classic supernatural horror, mad science, and the occasional foray into more modern interpretations of the Mythos.
