A raffle by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society for the restoration of Robert E. Howard (the Conan author)'s historical house (which is currently a museum dedicated for his life and work).

From time to time, the HPLHS conducts a raffle to raise funds for a great cause. It came to our attention that the home of Robert E. Howard in Cross Plains, Texas is in serious need of restoration and needs funds to do it. So we've reached out to some friends in the community and assembled our biggest prize package yet.

Who was Robert E. Howard? He was a friend and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft. He was a fellow author of pulp fiction. And where Lovecraft created Cthulhu, Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Solomon Kane and other great characters in his all-too-short writing career. The Robert E. Howard Foundation maintains his home as a museum in Texas. Time has taken its toll on the house, and together we can raise some money to help with its restoration.

Wow. The HPLHS has a new adventure poised for release and the props look incredible:

Expensive of course, far more than I'm prepared to spend, but they really do put an insane amount of effort into these releases.

Don't need it, can't afford it, but the HPLHS always do such meticulous, admirably designed stuff.

Email update just arrived from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which I thought I'd pass along:

"So the new year has been off to a tough start around here. If you didn't know, HPLHS Headquarters is in Glendale, California. We're about 12 miles from the Eaton Fire, the one that ravaged the Altadena region of Los Angeles. This is a photo of the smoke taken from the front door of the HPLHS ten days ago.
First and foremost, we're happy to say the HPLHS is ok. Two of us were under evacuation orders but were eventually able to go home and were very happy to have homes to go to. But we have friends and fellow society members who were not so fortunate. Like pretty much everyone in Los Angeles, we're left with a pervasive sense of fear and gratitude.

What Can You Do?

At the moment, we're okay and no one on our team needs immediate assistance. If you you want to help us out, keep our team busy and the wheels of commerce turning by shopping in our fine boutique. We're still working out how to best help our HPLHS friends in need, We'll let you know when our plan is in place. And if you want to help today, you can't go wrong with the American Red Cross or World Central Kitchen - both are on the ground helping folks in need.
For now, take good care of each other. Be kind - that'll help."
