Paging BMUS and Dancing Cthulthu

Happy 125th birthday of H.P. Lovecraft!

1. My wife whose mastery of the English language dwarfs mine, wasn't familiar with the word "eldritch"

...until last night.

Thanks, H.P. Lovecraft!

2. Mwah!

My dad weaned me off nursery rhymes with sci-fi and horror stories from all the greats. Of course my mom didn't approve but I turned out all right. Sort of.

3. IIRC,

I was introduced to Lovecraft through Scholastic Books. Saki and Bierce too. Some subversive editors in my early years, apparently!

5. And you're not an ax murderer either.

At least I hope you're not.

A man way before his time.
