Great and dreadful Cthulhu is without doubt Lovecraft’s most recognized creation, and many who are only casually aware of his work may think he’s the end-all and be-all of his work. I’d even personally go so far as to say that Cthulhu in the present day is overexposed, his shadow obscuring many of H.P.’s other... Continue Reading →
Lovecraft Tribute, by Juan Calle
Sorry folks, a shoggoth ate the Lovecraft essay that I was going to share with you today. :-( But never fear, I'll have it rewritten for next week's Throwback Thursday! In its place this afternoon, I offer you this little piece of tribute art featuring old HP and the secret of his inspirations instead. ;-)

Throwback Thursday: The Lady of Shalott, by John William Waterhouse (1888)

Throwback Thursday: The Magic Circle, by John William Waterhouse (1886)
