WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF LOVECRAFT’S “MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY”? WHAT STORY FEATURES HIS OWN CAT? WHERE IS THE NECRONOMICON FIRST MENTIONED? WHAT IS THE NARRATOR’S NAME IN AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS? |
S.T. Joshi’s text illuminates the more obscure references throughout Lovecraft’s writings, from an explanation of the chemicals referred to in “The Dunwich Horror” to the definition of one of his favorite adjectives, “eldritch.” Readers will also discover which story details are wholly fabricated by H.P. Lovecraft and which are taken from real life, such as the “Moodus Noises” and “Garden of the Gods.”
Generously illustrated, this remarkable work lets us fully appreciate the awesome details of the author’s imagined reality while it helps deepen our enjoyment of the unrivaled master of the weird.
