This video is an excellent introduction to the life, work, and legacy of H. P. Lovecraft. As much as I’ve read about this tragic, talented man, it managed to surprise me with both biographical and career tidbits.
Here’s something I didn’t know: August Derleth, the editor chiefly responsible for publicizing Lovecraft after the writer’s death, had his stories translated and published overseas. Post-WWI French intellectuals, already admirers of Edgar Allan Poe, practically devoured everything Lovecraft had authored. That, of course, is how Michel Houellebecq “discovered” Lovecraft.
I’m definitely looking forward to future videos from Biographics. Confession: It’s the first YouTube channel I’ve subscribed to.

Kaye,
Yes, it is. I knew I had to share it. Amazing how HPL’s legacy continues to grow. A tragedy he didn’t get to see this kind of acclaim in life.

I will check this out… the first time I heard of him, was in the film Whole Wide World about Bob Howard.

Annette,
That film is an underappreciated gem. D’Onofrio and Zellweger were marvelous.
