Re: Happy Birthday, HPL!
Good old Ec'h-pi.

Would any of us be here if it wasn't for him? And by here I mean this forum, of course. Unless somebody has an interesting story of the "well, you see, my dad was reading 'the thing on the doorstep' and on halloween he made my mum dress up like Arsenath and she looked particularly ravishing, so one thing led to another..." variety

Re: Happy Birthday, HPL!
Great reminder, thank you all!

Despite all the post-Cthulhuian hype and shallow commerciality, from plush toys to bumperstickers, and his unsavory racist thoughts, HPL remains a unique and influential writer with an extraordinary vision. Lovers of the Weird owe him a great debt!

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
- H. P. Lovecraft
