70 years ago, on March 15, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, probably the greatest horror author of all time, passed away. He died of intestinal cancer, aggravated by malnutrition. He spent the last year of his life suffering, which could be thought of as an appropriate ending to the miserable life he lived. Dead at 47, one of the greatest authors dealt with parents' insanity, horrible deaths, and just all around depression. The mood and tone of his stories aren't the least bit surprising, he was a genius in a lot of pain.
If there's one grave I want to visit in my lifetime, it's 100% that one. If I ever have the opportunity to be in or around Rhode Island, I will absolutely visit it.
