The Mythos Murders -

Mark's 'Relationship'
with
H. P. Lovecraft
and
The Cthulhu Mythos

For over forty years Mark Sawyer has been a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu Mythos, and the many authors who’ve contributed to it.

Some of what Mark has said in this regard:

“To bring about “The Mythos Murders,” a really good film based on Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, is a dream come true.”

“We all worked to keep the film in line with Lovecraft’s vision of the Mythos — some of the non sequiturs are intentional, and even some of those will be ‘fixed’ when (may it occur) Mythos Murders II is made. “

“Lovecraft and what he brought about — I wonder if he ever understood how broad an impact his works would have. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and so many others — these guys were incredible.”

“I’d like to think I’ve read all of their works, but I keep looking.”

“Lord Dunsany, of course, stands as a beacon. In his literature he was to Lovecraft, as Jonathan Winters was in comedy to John Belushi and Robin Williams.”

CTHULHU…

Certain Lovecraft fanatics believe he still dwells in R’yleh — May he not be disturbed.

Acclaimed author L. Sprague DeCamp with Mark’s brother, Phillip E. Sawyer.

Mark said,

“The highly regarded author L. Sprague DeCamp wrote a major biography of H.P. Lovecraft,

and one of Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Barbarian.

My brother Phillip became a close friend of DeCamp’s late in his life.

Through their friendship, I met Sprague a few times right in the period he was researching these biographies.

One thing Sprague said,

‘Just like with my book on the Scopes Monkey Trial, I got around to interview many who’d actually been there,

or in this case, met Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard in person, just in time.’

The stories Sprague told about his old comrades

Isaac Asimov, Robert E. Heinlein, and the nefarious L. Ron Hubbard were fascinating.

What he could recite about H.P Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard was incredible.

Some have criticized his biography of H. P. Lovecraft as being too critical and negative,

but the information he brought to all Lovecraft fans was important.”

A happy question.

Mark’s brother Phil asked Sprague,

“Why did you add the words ‘A Biography’ to the book’s title?”

Sprague smiled and replied,

“I didn’t want anyone buying ‘Lovecraft’ because they thought it was a sex manual.”
