- TriviaUniversally considered to be the father of modern horror and Sci-Fi (after his short-story "In the Walls of Eryx", co-written with Kenneth J. Sterling and published on January 1936).
- Quotes[1921] It is easy to remove the mind from harping on the lost illusion of immortality. The disciplined intellect fears nothing and craves no sugar-plum at the day's end, but is content to accept life and serve society as best it may. Personally I would not care for immortality in the least. There is nothing better than oblivion, since in oblivion there is no wish unfulfilled. We had it before we were born, yet did not complain. Shall we whine because we know it will return? It is Elysium enough for me, at any rate.
- TrademarkTales of gothic horror, especially related to mysterious and monstrous entities called "Great Old Ones", such as Cthulhu.
