Maybe your right but don't you think it's about time that H.P.L. gets the same attention that King gets. Let's see a t.v. series similar to The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits but based on Lovecraft's stories as well as the other Mythos writer's stories. It would be the freakiest thing on t.v.

It would... but I guess Neverending is right. When I began reading Lovecraft when I was a teen - and I'm just about 36 now - pretty much nobody seemed to know who he was, and I had a hard time finding his work.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that he's only been "well known" for the past 10 years or so, or rather, people know who Cthulhu is... which doesn't always mean that they've actually read any of Lovecraft's stories. It's really a shame.
