It’s been another eventful year in science fiction. What better time, with H.P. Lovecraft and Larry Correia’s shared birthday occurring on the same day as the Hugo Awards, to repost this classic?
Today should be a global holiday for horror geeks. For on this day, the stars aligned not once, but twice, to gift the world with authors of singular vision whose work defined and popularized their genres.
I speak, of H.P. Lovecraft, Prince of Weird Horror, and Larry Correia, International Lord of Hate and Urban Fantasy author par excellence–both born this day almost a century apart.
Long may their works fuel our nightmares of tentacled horrors in forgotten attic rooms, and our fantasies of defenestrating evil lycanthrope accounting department managers!
