Mythos Monday Comes On Tuesday
More On Robert M. Price
There was a huge debate when August Derleth was still alive about whether or not the Cthulhu Mythos paralleled Christianity. Derleth’s steadfast insistence that this was true splintered the 50s and 60s writers of Mythos fiction and literally drove many of them away.
Price has led the reconciliation since Derleth’s death by stating that even though August Derleth was wrong by bending the facts toward his opinion, his heart was in the right place for keeping the Lovecraftian traditions alive. As a Biblical expert Robert Price could see where Derleth was pounding square peg concepts into round hole theories. He has several essays showing where even though that vision wasn’t really true to Lovecraft, it provided some very interesting (if wrong) stories and concepts.
His scholarship and examination of the minutia is almost scary.
