http://www.sflit.com/novaexpress/14/lovecraft-14.html
“Though a half century dead, a number of elements make Lovecraft’s work more relevant today than ever: his bravery, his antinomianism, his understanding of how the transformative power of an object (especially abook) can link the realms of imagination and reality, his sense of the cosmic, and finally, above all and unifying all, his insistence on the primacy of the imagination.”
