I was participating in the conversation surrounding Pete Peterson’s Lovecraft tribute, “The Stephen Hills Horror” when Andrew Peterson threw out a question:
So what is it about ghost stories, anyway?
I decided to take a stab at it, and gave a quick bullet-point answer.
- Ghost stories are part of the genre of imaginative literature, though its darker [...]

The story of “The Haunter of the Dark” begins with a teenage Robert Bloch, who went on in adulthood to win the Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy Awards and become best known for his novel Psycho.
As Bloch explains in “Time-Traveling with H.P. Lovecraft”:
In 1935 I’d written a story, “The Shambler from the Stars,” [...]

I’ll throw out a few ideas for you to consider as you read “The Moon-Bog” (1921) by H.P. Lovecraft…
1. I’ll admit, I get a kick out of this story. One of my favorite elements of the tale is the Gothic theme of tainted ancestry. This has appeared in the work now considered the first Gothic [...]

Following up on Dave’s post re: Edgar Allan Poe, I thought you might be interested in one of Lovecraft’s tributes to the author.
The poem was inspired by the cemetery at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Providence, Rhode Island, a setting both men loved. Below are some of the pictures I took there during my Lovecraftian [...]

Just in time for Halloween, Barnes & Noble has something new for Lovecraft fans.
Synopsis
In the 1920s and ‘30s, H.P. Lovecraft pioneered a new type of weird fiction that fused elements of supernatural horror with the concepts of visionary science fiction. Lovecraft’s tales of cosmic horror revolutionized modern horror fiction and earned him the reputation as [...]

In America, we’re trained from a young age to equate Edgar Allan Poe with both terror and Halloween. In my experience, reading Poe in an English class was something of a yearly ritual, even if the rationale for the exercise was rather forced. Poe clearly enjoys a better literary reputation than our other horror master, [...]

I intended something a bit deeper on Lovecraft’s “The Outsider” tonight, but I’ll delay that till tomorrow night for two reasons: (1) Dr. Sturgis’s post hits on several key elements that deserve discussion. If you’ve not read “The Outsider” yet, it’s a very brief story that can be read in one short sitting or listened [...]

I’ll throw out a few ideas for you to consider as you read “The Outsider” (1921) by H.P. Lovecraft…
1. Lovecraft himself called the story “my literal though unconscious imitation of Poe at its very height.” Lovecraft’s friend, fellow author, and publisher, August Derleth, once wrote that, if “The Outsider” were found unsigned in an attic, [...]
