The explosive creation of a new volcanic island off Iceland in 1967 led to "Rising with Surtsey," a homage not just to Lovecraft but, to the great August Derleth. "David's Worm" -which takes an interesting view of "you are what you eat"-was published in a Year's Best Horror Stories and later adapted...
