Lovecraft in LiveJournal form
"The LiveJournal of Zachary Marsh" is a short story in the form of a series of LiveJournal entries from an unsuspecting teen whose long-lost father is a Cthuloid spawn living near Miskatonic. The story that unspools is pure Lovecraft -- if Lovecraft's protagonists took "Which Muppet Are You?" personality quizzes and really dug the fact that the Miskatonic bar doesn't ask for ID.

Update: Mark sez, "Just a little nit-picking... 'The LiveJournal of Zachary Marsh' is pretty much a retelling of 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth,' which means that his father is (or is a descendant of) a Deep One cross-breed, not Cthuloid. Big difference to someone overly obsessed with HPL, but probably not to anyone else... anyway, that was a damn funny link."
