happy 119th to a true act of Providence

[ankh_hpl]

As I'm sure many readers of Yaddith Times are already aware, H.P. Lovecraft was born on this date in 1890.  Get out there and do something eldritch -- or at least squamous -- to celebrate!

For those seeking an in-depth Lovecraftian experience, check out today's LJ post by eldritchhobbit .  This is one-stop intellectual shopping for the HPL geek, with links you'll be exploring for a long time -- and a screamingly funny YouTube birthday greeting.

If you're looking for something more bite-sized, may I suggest HPL's prose poem /short story "Nyarlathotep" ?   This elegant, atmospheric, and truly creepy tale is a personal favorite of mine, and a quick introduction to the Bard of Providence's unique style.
