A romance vessel that unwittingly ventures into the cyclopean horrors of unknowable planes; where Azathoth gnaws hungrily in the dark to the piping of strange flutes at the center of chaos, where Cthulhu waits dreaming at dead R'lyeh, where Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, tears at the eyes of those who gaze upon his form. FEAR HIM WHO CALLS ITS NAME, FOR THIS DAY, THE LOVECRAFT CARRIES YOU!!!
.Ohhh, darling how about this one? The Lovecraft?
.Why yes, dear, that DOES sound romantic!

Lovecraft Syndrome

A term to describe when a creator is significantly worse than their creations, in some way, shape, or form.
"Hey, did you ever get around to reading Harry Potter?"
"No. As it turns out, the whole series has got lovecraft syndrome. The author is a bigot and a transphobe."

H.P. Lovecraft 

One of the most brilliant minds in literature of all time. H.P. Lovecraft's work can be categorized as horror, Gothic, fantasy, and mystery. With influences by the captivating and mysterious work of the artist, Sidney H. Sime and the ethereal dream-worlds of the author, Lord Dunsany, H.P. Lovecraft's work is the epitome of great Gothic literature. Some of his works include Dagon, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Cats of Ulthar, The Doom That Came to Sarnath, At the Mountains of Madness, The Thing on the Doorstep, and the infamous The Call of Cthulhu. Lovecraft's stories continue to spark the imaginations of authors today. There are countless modern Cthulhu Mythos and movies based on his stories. But nothing can come close to the original work of H.P. Lovecraft.

H. P. Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was the author of many short stories and the father of cosmicism. He wrote about a universe that is utterly meaningless and the cosmic horrors that live therein. He is considered the greatest writer of horror to live in the age after Poe and before Stephen King.
Tentacles? Forbidden knowledge? Esoteric cults? You must be reading an H. P. Lovecraft story.

H. P. Lovecraft

Perfectly dreadful writer, considered the father of gothic horror stories. Has good ideas, but also has a fascination with long, pointless adjecties and hyperbole. Best known for the short story Call of Cthulhu among other things.
H. P. Lovecraft's writing is so predictable that even the worst translator can translate it from English to Russian to French to English and have it come out exactly like the original!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
