Cults of Lovecraft: The Impact of H.P. Lovecraft's Fiction on Contemporary Occult Practices
Abstract
Examines a particularly troubling use of fiction: the adoption of an author’s work, against his own intentions, as a quasi-religious text for cultic practices. Lovecraft’s mythos is thus observed in the process of deliberately being made into a worship tradition by occult and Satanic practitioners, in spite of the author’s personal scientific rationalism.
