The wonderful Ukrainian horror/fetish/steampunk mask maker Bob Basset has produced a two-faced Cthulhu mask; on one side, the betentacled visage; on the other, a lecterine horror.

Call of Cthulhu. One mask 2 faces.

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.

The Snowden Principle

  • Tomgliv

    Looks like Tortelvis from Dread Zeppelin!

    not sure how I feel about the parasitic implications of this – as if a human could provide any real sustenance to a Cthulhoid

    but yes, highly approved for fetishes – especially sexual ones. uh, you know, to make humans less wretched-looking to the Great Old Ones and other elder things…

  • K-9

    Probably not intended, but I want to think the reverse face is Hastur.

  • PhasmaFelis

    “Lecterine”?

    • Donald Newell

      Same thing for me. A quick google doesn’t bring up an answer. Is it somehow a play on Hannibal Lector?
