I'm so disappointed in you, John Steinbeck! Also, your chicken isn't that great!

Say, has Wuvcraft read Ruby Quest yet? I think he'd love it. It's a charming story about a rabbit named Ruby and her friend Tom the cat. And by "charming story" I mean "pure distilled Lovecraft-inspired nightmare fuel". Good info page here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RubyQu…

  Come back when Wuby Qwest comes out.

He should have asked about the Gwapes of Waff.

Where's Steinbeck's mouth? Does the moustache speak for him?
- o0o
  
  that is not a mustache, but a Kermit-style mouth.
- GuyDude
  
  Mouths are for hookers and fat people.

  How could it not?

The Winter of Our Discontent?

Oh well, un-peopled he asked…

lol you had to clarify the "'beck" abbrev right? too make "becks" running around these days.

The Fiendish Grapes of Foul, Unconstrained Wrath just doesn't have the same ring to it. Even if you throw in hordes of mice and dark, shadow-covered men to it.
- Bainmarny
  
  But it does have the kid who's head was deformed and crushed at birth by his fathers(who we all know is white ape) hands, grows up kind of strange and decides to live by the colorado river(to call forth the frog-people perhaps.)

  personal favorites are 'A Direction Incommensurable With the Human Mind of Eden' and 'To a God Unknown.'
Perfidy

They should collaborate on a project about a group of hideous, indescribable, otherworldly being's struggles against the overbearing Old Ones called "In Dagonous Battle."

Well, in his favor, Steinbeck *did* write a story in which a man drank a beer milkshake.

how did wuvcraft get away from the giant ants!
- Dal
  
  Er, spiders, I think you'll find.
  
  And I think he'd be offended by the idea that he needed to "escape" from the spiders. If you can't stand a little exsanguination and/or having thousands of eggs laid in your body cavity, then you've got no business writing cosmic horror. Or being a part of the print industry at all, for that matter.
- Moof
  
  He punched them.
- Stuart Ullman
  
  In the words of Annie Wilkes, Kris cheated.
Plagiarist

This is amazing, I'm gonna stencil this in the English department bathroom at my college.

Typical self-obsessed artists. If only they could get a dialogue going, maybe Wuvcraft could help Steinbeck see the lighter side of formless dread, and maybe Steinbeck could turn Wuvcraft on to the delights of mortal-plane horrors like depression and starvation.
TheRoyalJam

Wuvcraft's frown is somehow more terrifying than any of his stories.
I don't know how that's possible, but it is.
wykstrad

Uncle John sort of disappears into a yawning, illimitable darkness, but it's mostly psychological, and he's there, so it's not really unpeopled.

Still one of the saddest character destinations in a book filled with sad character destinations.
