Retro Hugos und der Derleth-Mythos
Perhaps Lovecraft's most important single contribution was the adaptation of science-fiction material for the purpose of supernatural terror. The decline of at least naive belief in Christian theology, resulting in an immense loss of prestige for Satan and his hosts, left the emotion of supernatural fear swinging around loose, without any well-recognized object. Lovecraft took up this loose end and tied it to the unknown but possible denizens of other planets and regions beyond the space-time continuum.*****
** Wobei man aber vielleicht hinzufügen sollte, dass Lovecrafts Erzählungen in dieser Hinsicht nicht extremer sind als viele andere Werke der Pulp-Ära. Was nicht als Entschuldigung missverstanden werden soll. Ich habe 2012 selbst einen zweiteiligen Artikel über Lovecrafts Rassismus auf diesem Blog veröffentlicht: Teil 1 * Teil 2. Hier und da würde ich manches heute vielleicht etwas anders formulieren, doch in allen wichtigen Punkten stehe ich nach wie vor zu dem Text.
*** Es wird gerne übersehen, dass Lovecraft einen sehr ausgeprägten Sinn für Humor hatte.
**** Der Name fällt nicht in der Geschichte. Dafür wird gleich mehrfach auf Algernon Blackwood verwiesen. Dessen Wendigo nebenbei bemerkt ein sehr viel besseres Stück Weird Fiction ist.
