Timo Airaksinen (1999)

The Philosophy of H. P. Lovecraft

Airaksinen lässt sich nicht vom großen Namen blenden. Er brandmarkt Lovecrafts pathetischen Schreibstil als ärgerliches unwriting und betrachtet etliche klassische weird fiction-Geschichten mit Argwohn.

Ein gutes Buch aus der Reihe New Studies in Aesthetics. Band 29, um genau zu sein.
