Lovecraft Festival in Second Life Starts Today

Fans of the stories written by HP Lovecraft, a science-fiction and horror writer of the early 20th Century, have organized a "multiple community festival" to celebrate the author and his works.

The 2012 SL H.P. Lovecraft Festival runs from September 22-30. The heart of the festival is the carnival located in the Staccato sim in the Lovecraft community of Sheffield. The carnival contains a market at which vendors will sell a variety of Lovecraft, Early 20th Century and Science Fiction wares. The big top on the carnival grounds will host weird and wonderful events.

At the carnival, there will be ticket booths that provide festival information and that will transport the attendees to the various host sims that are taking part in the festival. A different Lovecraft experience awaits at each location! There will be several ticket booths on the carnival grounds as well as in each host sim. There will also be a festival wide hunt that will send participants searching high and low across the host sims for eldritch relics.

The schedule can be found at the festival blog at http://festival.sllovecraft.com/?p=5, or it and more information can be gotten at ticket booths in the Staccato sim. Or one can contact Nosfera Ravenheart via notecard.
