All is Fair in Lovecraft and War

by Historian

A series in which I analyze a series of novels by horror's very own scaredy-cat: HP Lovecraft. My goal is to look for interpretations of Lovecraft's work that goes beyond the "Yikes that didn't age well" lens and maybe uncover some interesting ideas from some very old books.

    After noticing that not many folks have read Lovecraft's works I've decided to release parallel episodes that summarize the stories I analyze called For Your Information. This one is about The Shadow Over Innsmouth.

    The shadow over Innsmouth is an iconic Lovecraft story. With the disheveled Massachusetts fishing town setting and almost primitive Deep Ones. It's quite surprising that Lovecraft’s theme for this story was a warning about technology and scientific development. I intend to explain the influence of technology and science in this novel once and for all(probably).
