Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft (August 20, 1890-March 15, 1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now widely seen as one of the most significant 20th century authors in his genre.
Bobby Derie is an author and scholar of pulp studies and weird fiction.
That anyone still reads Lovecraft almost a century after his death is a testament to his endurance, even within a microgenre of a microgenre. Many much more popular writers of the period cannot say the same.
