Lego Lovecraft house, with bricky tentacles

Lego artist Mr Xenomurphy created this great Lovecraftian horror-house, complete with Lego tentacles. Tentacles have so clearly been missing from Lego for all these years, it's a wonder they aren't standard issue now.

Homage to H. P. Lovecraft (Thanks, Lovecraftsman!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

You don’t say. How about this lovely Harry Potter awakens Cthulhu and Dagon set?

Lego introduced a pretty comprehensive set of tentacles quite some time ago, Cory.

I know, it’s impossible to keep up… I only knew this because my son’s been building tentacled creations for years.

In my day, we had bricks and roof slants. That is all.

They’ve just released the Lego Atlantis range – that should more than fulfil all you Cthulu based Lego needs.

Like everything else, Lego is better with tentacles.
