Lovecraft Documentary
Lately I’ve been wanting to watch more documentaries about writers. Any suggestions?
In the meantime, thanks to Galley Cat, I found this documentary about H.P. Lovecraft which is worth ninety minutes of your time.

I would highly recommend the National Film Board of Canada’s documentary “Volcano: An Inquiry into the Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry”. It’s available on the Criterion Collection edition of “Under the Volcano” or online-
