- Title
A Weird Modernist Archive: Pulp Fiction, Pseudobiblia, H. P. Lovecraft.
- Authors
Sorensen, Leif
- Abstract
The article presents criticism of popular literature, focusing on the so-called "pulp fiction" of the horror tale author H. P. Lovecraft originally published in periodicals. Lovecraft's creation of a fictional bibliography for the horror and fantasy in his works is considered as a practice common to horror authors of the same period, and it is noted that these authors often cited each other's writing in these fictionalized bibliographies, a practice that is compared to ethnology.
