Happy birthday to a master of the macabre, HP Lovecraft!
Lovecraft’s influence is felt throughout modern horror; musical groups like Metallica and Black Sabbath performed Lovecraft influenced songs. Writers like Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges, Neil Gaiman, and even graphic novelist Alan Moore have all mentioned his influence on their works.
Did you know that the Arkham Asylum in Batman is a reference to Lovecraft’s work?
