Weird Tales: The Strange Life of H P Lovecraft
Sunday 3 December 2006 21:30-22:15 (Radio 3)
Weird Tales: The Strange Life of H P Lovecraft.
Geoff Ward examines the strange life and terrifying world of the man hailed as America's greatest horror writer since Poe.
During his life Lovecraft's work was confined to lurid pulp magazines and he died in penury in 1937. Today, however, his writings are considered modern classics and published in prestigious editions.
Among the writers considering his legacy are Neil Gaiman, S T Joshi, Kelly Link, Peter Straub and China Mieville.

after this i went to amazon to check out the price of some of his books now and they're astronomical. i couldn't believe that mass trade editions were going for $50.
i hate the horror book collectors market. i just want to read your work. i don't want to have to fight people to pay $100 to purchase a 50 page novella you did with some small press

Lovecraft died in '37, so his works are now creative commons. Should hit up Project Gutenberg.
