Greetings Everyone!
My newest book, Horror as Racism in H. P.
Lovecraft: White Fragility in the Weird Tales, has been recently published
by Bloomsbury! I hope that all of you
will pick up a copy!
Paul Rolland, Lovecraft scholar and author, writes:
“The deficiencies of the man do not....debase the quality of his best
work. If anything, they invest it with a
twisted passion that is missing from his more fantastic fiction.”
"Twisted passion” is the perfect phrase to
describe Lovecraft’s work, especially the racist works. One could argue, in fact, that this
twisted passion enhanced Lovecraft's
fiction, especially the hybrid, degenerative monster tales, making them much
more frightening and investing them with
raging, nearly psychotic emotion.
You may agree with this, or not. But my book is, at the very least, an attempt
to study and understand exactly how passionate and twisted Lovecraft really
was.
So, please check it out!
