Tyson is one of the newagers who've latched on to anything that "freeks" them so they can pretend to be dangerous and enlightened. He's done lots of crap on the Necro. Like most newagers, facts aren't important to him, only his views which he feels are reality.
That Tyson book sounds as bad as the Necronomicon Files. And I’m so Jealous of your Ligotti score. I still think Houellebecq’s essay and Ligotti’s CATHR capture Lovecraft’s ethos nearly precisely, 190 Proof or there abouts.
@GeneHarrogate So you would recommend the Houellebecq book, yes. I shall probably have to read it eventually, just to make up my own mind. My prejudice is against those critics who want to emphasize what a freak Lovecraft was as opposed to his brilliance as a Literary Artist.
very interesting video. Perhaps you could excerpt some of the more interesting letter of HPL ?
