Timeline

1908

Born in Providence, Lovecraft was a sickly child whose parents died insane. When he was 16, he wrote the astronomy column in the Providence Tribune. Between 1908 and 1923, he wrote short stories for Weird Tales magazine, among others.

1919

The beginning of Lovecraft's prolific period as a writer, began in 1919.

1930

He very rarely went out in the daytime and preferred not to open the curtains in his house in daylight hours. He wrote all his stories out in long-hand and often refused to have them typed (even as late as the 1930s), which led to many being rejected out of hand by possible publishers. He published little in his lifetime and died in poverty. He began referring to himself as "middle-aged" before he was 25, and, in a way, this proved correct as he died at age 46.

1969

Despite being seven years his senior, Lovecraft's wife Sonia Green outlived him by well over thirty years, and told an interviewer in 1969 that her husband had never actually initiated sexual congress between them.

1994

Inspired Jürgen Prochnow's character Sutter Cane in In the Mouth of Madness (1994). All the John Carpenter's movie is a tribute to Lovecraft and his horror universe.

2005

The Vision Bleak, a German horror metal band, dedicated the album "Carpathia, A Dramatic Poem" (2005) to Lovecraft. They also made other references, such as a track being called "Kutulu!". Numerous other rock bands have paid musical tribute to HPL and the Mythos, most notably Metallica in "The Thing That Should Not Be" and the 1960's American band H.P. Lovecraft.

2019

Name of Elliot Knight's character Ward Phillips in Color Out of Space (2019) is a play on words of Lovecraft's full name, Howard Phillips. Color Out of Space (2019) is based on the eponymous Lovecraft's short story.
