Description
Which among the non-direct literary descendants of Lovecraft do you feel matches his work most closely? Have you tried your hand at completing one of HPLâ??s fragments or Commonplace Book ideas? What is your favorite Lovecraft story and why? Can you share some anecdotes and remembrances of the greats youâ??ve met, like Lin Carter & DeCamp & Lumley & Bloch? Do you believe that Lovecraftâ??s stories are gaining in popularity because they provide a religious framework for a scientific view of the world? Is Lovecraftâ??s fictional view of the world religious? Do the Deep Ones eat the humans who are sacrificed to Dagon and Hydra? Isnâ??t "The Shadow over Innsmouth," like "The Dunwich Horror" and "The Call of Cthulhu," a parody of Christianity, in whole or in part? Have you seen the Justice League Animated series episode(s) "the Terror Beyond"? Very Lovecraftian. Youâ??ve suggested old Wizard Whately was motivated to bring about the end of humanity by a desire for gold. But what possible use Whately could have for gold, living the way he did? In Shadow Over Innsmouth, why isn't EVERYONE pointing out that the narrator has the "Innsmouth look"? In The Call of Cthulhu, why is the narrator even collecting the information he wants no one to see? How is it that August Derleth missed the point about cosmicism and tried to shoehorn the mythos into a good/evil paradigm? With the news that Guillermo del Toro plans to adapt At the Mountains of Madness to the big screen, what form might that film take? A direct translation, retaining the setting and time frame? Or a move into a more modern, or even futuristic venue?
