Citation:

Poe and Lovecraft share an important connection, which has not passed unnoticed by fans of horror. Aside from the obvious geographical traits (they were both from New England) and interests (a proclivity for science or poetry), there is the fact, as Robert Bloch said, that “Poe and Lovecraft deliberately chose to turn their backs on contemporary styles and subject-matter and created their own individual worlds of fantasy. In this above all else they were similar.” Poe was Lovecraft’s hero. Lovecraft admired, praised and even imitated Poe (“The Outsider”or “The Rats in the Walls”). Many of his early stories can be read as Poe pastiches, with all the Gothic trappings in place. As Darrel Scweitzer explains, “The immediate result was a slavish imitation of Poe’s technique. Lovecraft’s very earliest stories had been imitations of dime novels – lots of thrilling developments in very short chapters – but now he had a new approach, which was to stay with him to some degree for the rest of his life.”
