So play "The Thing That Should Not Be" and bow your head. And most importantly pull one of his books off your shelf.

The man himself, Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Born in and a lifelong resident of Providence, Rhode Island, he was an antiquarian by taste and a recluse by preference. His wide reading, supplemented by field explorations and genealogical quests, gave him a scholar's authority on the history and colonialization of New England. The same firsthand knowledge provided him the the realistic detail and visual vitality that impart conviction to his tales of supernatural horror. His naratives begin in the locale and terrain that he loved and then transport the reader into stupefying cosmic vistas beyond known space and conjectured time.
