Re: Lovecraft's Last Laugh

Have just read this provocative, well-researched analysis of Lovecraft on the Greydogtales blog, worth a look for those following the debate:

Re: Lovecraft's Last Laugh

Enjoyed that Mackintosh article. Enjoyed a few of his articles actually.

That Mamatas story he mentions in the footnotes sounds hilarious.
