Although I'm not one who believes that HPL
literaly wrote about the "real" "reality", that
premise does sometimes make for some very good
stories. I recently read "Teeth" bt Matt Cardin(in
CHILDREN OF CTHULHU) which I think is one of the best
stories that worked with the above premise--right up
there with Fred Chappell's "Weird Tales"(in ETERNAL
LOVECRAFT), Fritz Leiber's "Terror from the Depths"(in
HEROES AND HORRORS, WRITERS OF THE DARK< DISCIPLES OF
CTHULHU, and the revised TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS.)
and T.E.D. Klein's "Black Man with a Horn"(in DARK
GODS, CTHULHU 2000) Another good one is Gahan Wilson's
"H.P.L."(in CTHULHU 2000, LOVECRAFT'S LEGACY) though
that one is lighthearted humor.
bye bye
