You would have been 118 years old today, Mr. Lovecraft! Happy birthday to you!
I’m sure most of you who visit my site know who Howard Philips Lovecraft was (or is), and know that he is said to be one of the most influential writers in horror of the 20th century, but for those who don’t know, he has influenced more of our entertainment in the writing, music, and film fields than most of us really realize. From Stephen King’s “Jerusalem’s Lot”, to the always entertaining “Herbert West: Re-Animator” movies, to Metallica’s “The Thing That Should Not Be”, Lovecraft has snuck his tendrils into immortality.
You can find a whole lot more to read about his life, philosophies, writings, and of course, his influence on contemporary works at Wikipedia’s entry for H. P. Lovecraft.
