Lovecraft was a xenophobic sack of trash and he shouldn’t be adored by the cosmic horror crowd
TBH, he moved to the left in 1930s, being disillusioned with capitalism.
I mean, maybe, but his wife’s biography of him paints a much different picture. It could be that her biography reflects just their time together, which would have been before the 30s.
Yeah, in 1910s and 1920s he was very reactionary, but the Great Depression really helped him to change his mind.
