Perhaps it was videogames that helped in the transition, with titles such as Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. It’s hard to say exactly when it happened. But then something odd happened-Lovecraft went mainstream. I read those books of short fiction throughout high school and college courses without ever eliciting a single response of recognition. Back then, I was just discovering the father of “cosmic horror” as part of a fascination with vintage horror fiction. Lovecraft” certainly had much, much less cultural cache than it does now, some 15 years later. When I was a high school student, back in the early 2000s, the world was completely unaware of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.Īt least, that’s how it felt to me at the time.
