"H.P. Lovecraft's Afterlife"

Interesting piece by John J. Miller on one of the great masters of horror fiction. I haven't read anything by him for several years, but if there was anyone who reached down into the abyss it was Lovecraft. Miller explains how Lovecraft conjured that abyss.

I have a story, Bailey's Woods, that was inspired by an incident that occurred while I was reading a Lovecraft story. Bailey's Woods is set in upstate New York in and around Ithaca, near where Beck lives (the story is set there because that's where the incident that inspired the story took place, some thirty-two years ago).
