The nineteenth issue of the Lovecraft Annual provides an array of studies on the life, work, and thought of H. P. Lovecraft. Ken Faig, Jr. treats the delicate subject of Lovecraft’s boyhood cat, while Dylan Henderson studies the array of adaptations of “The Call of Cthulhu,” in graphic novels, films, and other media. Rebecca Kunkel assesses the influence of Lovecraft on the Italian director Lucio Fulci; Pietro Guarriello reveals the surprising inclusion of Lovecraftian elements in Disney comics; and Duncan Norris supplies a broad overview of Lovecraft in popular culture.
Stephen Walker provides a detailed linguistic, literary, and philosophical analysis of Lovecraft’s invented expostulation “Iä!” Harley Carnell studies the relationship between Lovecraft and Nathaniel Hawthorne, while Felix John Taylor gauges Lovecraft’s relations to Wales and Welsh culture. Thijmen Zuiderwijk contributes a trenchant analysis of the dissemination of Lovecraft’s work into Dutch, and James Goho adds a profound dissection of “The Thing on the Doorstep.” Additional articles by Peter Cannon, Martin Dempsey, Michael Uhall, and Steven J. Mariconda round out the issue, which also includes several previously unreprinted letters by Lovecraft to the Providence Journal.
