Happy Birthday, H.P. Lovecraft. You Would Have Been Eaten First. For Sure.

A belated birthday to a great inspiration. May Umr at-Tawil have guided you swiftly to All-Is-One.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

My birthday wish for H.P. is that Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness gets made quickly.

CTHULHU FHTAGN!

This guy was the best. I love his work. I have one copy of his short stories and there is a quote on the front that says "HP Lovecraft is the best horror writer of all time." That quote is by Stephen King. That pretty much sums it up :p

If you love Lovecraft, get some Arthur Machen down you. Lovecraft himself proclaimed the man...

“a Titan—perhaps the greatest living author,” and vowed to read everything he wrote. “There is in Machen,” he later wrote, “an ecstasy of fear that all other living men are too obtuse or timid to capture, and that even Poe failed to envisage in all its starkest abnormality.”

Ok, I had to post this for a couple of reasons...

1. It is tremendously silly. I mean really, really silly. Right?

Don't stare at it too long, I am pretty sure you will go insane.

2. Only H.P.L. and the Mythos could focus this many geeks for this long on one project. Look at them!

I have been staring at this photo for too long.

Take a look at this with me...



All of that totally makes sense to me. Geeks in boots. No problem there.

But this?



What is that bringing up the rear? The Amish? Mother Theresa? My great-grandmother circa post WWI Germany?

Have you ever wondered if The Necronomicon is real ?

Bit late to this discussion, but if you like Lovecraft, you might also like Clark Ashton Smith. Smith's writings are science fiction and horror written in incredibly florid prose, and you can find them online for free. Smith and Lovecraft were part of a writer's circle that included Robert E. Howard (the creator of Conan the Barbarian.)
