Lovecraft the Prophet?


The Warlock Asylum site brings us an interesting and quirky twist exploring H.P. Lovecraft's prophetic abilities. Basically, this piece stretches numerology's outer (or should I say outre?) limits by suggesting the Providence writer may have predicted not just his own death, but 9/11 as well. The article owes its origins to an exchange with noted scholar Dan Harms, and a viewpoint that sees Lovecraft as a sort of intermediary for channeling the Old Ones' arcane knowledge.

Whether the argument raises chuckles or eyebrows, it's definitely worth a read.
