Happy birthday to H.P. Lovecraft (20 August, 1890 – 15 March, 1937)!



Take my virtual walking tour of Lovecraft's Providence.

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
- H.P. Lovecraft, "Supernatural Horror in Literature" (1927)

Lovecraft on tv?

[(Anonymous)]

Many folks seem to think that our choices in episodic story viewing (tv) is the best it's ever been - so why hasn't anyone yet to make a great, compelling series based on Lovecraft?

Just imagine. The first episode would start at Innsmouth - introducing the audience, like the Narrator, to the weirdness of the town and its inhabitants. Subsequent episodes could slowly work outwards into the broader Lovecraft universe from there.

Come on! There's gotta be someone out there interested in such a project?

Oh, you're so right. I absolutely love this idea! I hope The Powers That Be are listening. I'd watch it, that's for certain!
