Here we have studies of Lovecraft\u2019s use of the imagery of wells in \u201cThe Colour out of Space\u201d; the cosmic history of alien species in <em>At the Mountains of Madness<\/em> and \u201cThe Shadow out of Time\u201d; the role that the fictional Miskatonic University plays in Lovecraft\u2019s fiction; and the influence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on several Lovecraft tales. Other essays discuss Lovecraft\u2019s influence on such science fiction writers as Arthur C. Clarke, Fritz Leiber, and Philip K. Dick, as well as such understudied tales as \u201cCool Air\u201d and <em>The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath<\/em>. And Waugh\u2019s long rumination about Lovecraft\u2019s response to the Nobel Prize winners of his day displays to the full the author\u2019s wide-ranging expertise on world literature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Robert H.
