It's been a very long year on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein. My New Year's resolution was "do less on the blog, concentrate on the book," and I violated that by week three.
How many posts have there been? Let's find out.

As a bonus, during the research for this piece I also discovered whether or not Lovecraft likes Worcestershire sauce.
