SOURCE TRADE PAPERBACK OF THE WEEK
Strange Adventures of HP Lovecraft
Oh, the tortures that modern authors put Howard Lovecraft  through. The impulse is understandable-Lovecraft's utter commitment to his style and mythos certainly felt, well, suspicious. Could he have possibly written the way he did without some inroad into the supernatural? This graphic novel suggests not, and has a ball casting the skinny, down-on-his-luck scribbler as unwilling combatant against the forces of evil. Lovecraft's editor at Weird Tales thinks he's a loony; Lovecraft's erstwhile librarian girlfriend, Sylvia (fabulously outfitted as a flapper), has moved on to a new gent; and Lovecraft himself is deep within the throes of crushing writer's block. For better or worse (and, believe me, it's worse) the library's newest acquisition-the Necronomicon-somehow channels wild, tentacled monsters who slaughter Lovecraft's enemies while he sleeps. It's an above-par action-horror comic written in a voice almost flowery enough to be Lovecraft's own. Salmons' dynamic and shadowy art, meanwhile, hits its stride when given opportunity to stretch out, as in the lavish spreads of the Old Ones-"'It is indescribable, except in fragments,'" thinks Lovecraft, and he's right.

2011 SOURCE MEGA SUMMER RPG EVENT!
Gamma World! - Starts 1st Week In June 2011!
Players Wanted & GM's Needed!
Here's the basic scenario: After the Big Mistake, everything was different. Multiple realities collapsed together, creating a single consensus reality combining nuclear devastation, robot armies, mutant conquerors, and alien invaders in an irradiated aftermath called Gamma Terra. The year is 2162, according to the calendar of the Ancients. One hundred fifty years have shuffled by since everything changed. A landscape of radioactive deserts, ruined cities, mutated jungles, and vast unexplored wildernesses stretch across the world. Few "pure strain" humans remain. Most folks possess a mutant quirk after generations of exposure to radiation, mutagens, and the debris of other worldlines, but these are minor blemishes; an extra thumb is nothing to write home about, especially when grandma has a third eye. A blind third eye she covers with a kerchief, but there you go.This is the world of the D&D GAMMA WORLD ROLE PLAYING GAME, for the Source Mega RPG Summer event for 2011. It's a world of dangerous mutant monsters, jungle-grown ruins of the cities of the Ancients, and mysterious artifacts of awesome technology. It's your world to survive, to explore and to conquer - if you're up to the challange!

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT!
The Countryside Retaurant
Step into your time machine and visit the Countryside
Restaurant! A Roseville institution for years, in the age of high concept sometimes it's easy to overlook a truly local, old fashioned, family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant. The Countryside is considered famous for it's "Broasted Chicken" and with good reason. It's absolutely outstanding! In addition, they also offer a full service menu with a wide variety of tasty traditional meals. The customer demographic at the Countryside is a little bit older, the decor kitchy and the wait staff does a great job serving their customers in a friendly, fun and happy manner. Finally, don't forget the pie! Yummy!
- Is located just off of Snelling Aveune North in Roseville, MN.
- Closest intersection is Snelling Ave. N. and County Road C2, just one mile north of Rosedale Shopping Center. Our entrance is off of Lincoln Dr. which is one block West of Snelling Ave. N.
- 3 miles South of Interstate 694, 1 mile North of HWY 36, and about 3 miles North of the Minnesota State Fair Grounds.
