Also some interesting items without full-text, noted here only:
“‘Awed listening’: H. P. Lovecraft in classic and contemporary audio horror” (Broad survey, touches on Bloch: “In the radio work of Lovecraft acolyte Robert Bloch as well as shows such as Quiet, Please (1947-49) the ‘Lovecraftesque’ is strongly evident. Indeed, various dimensions to Lovecraft’s fiction make his oeuvre ideally suited to audio adaptation.”).
“Those who predicted the darkness: writing the end in Lovecraft and Houellebecq”. (“Surprisingly, very few critics have discussed Lovecraft’s considerable contribution to Houellebecq’s thinking. […] This first study devoted exclusively to the links between these two authors will examine the thematic and stylistic aspects of their respective eschatological visions.”).
“The Protoplasmic Imagination: Ernst Haeckel and H.P. Lovecraft”. (“For Haeckel, [protoplasm] was the missing piece in the puzzle that Darwin had almost completed, and with it the whole mystery and wonder of life was within explanatory reach. For Lovecraft, on the other hand, it was the very essence of the shapeless, primitive, and fundamentally menacing quality of life that civilization had to keep at bay.”).
