Lovecraft’s last lav

Back in July 2016, I posted this gestalt real-time review of a book entitled THE AGE OF LOVECRAFT: https://dflewisreviews.wordpress.com/2016/07/13/the-age-of-lovecraft/

I need to know – was this before Scott Nicolay’s famous throwaway line or not? The line that has contributed – rightly or wrongly – to the disruption of the planning at the imminent NecronomiCon in Providence.

My view is that HPL needs pissing on and adoring in equal measure, for obvious separate respective reasons. Long live the tenets of Nemonymity and Wimsatt’s Intentional Fallacy! I hope the Con will thus revert to its planned equilibrium and deserved success.
