I almost bought the Necronomicon the same time I picked up this book, and I should've. I've since learned to somewhat better separate the art product of an individual from their ideology. Interestingly, Lovecraft's writing was in part fuelled by his bigotry and the fear that's intrinsic with that.

Similarly, R. E. Howard was known to have written his Conan stories at all hours, spurred on by a very real sense that Conan himself was standing over his shoulder, ready to disembowel him with a scimitar, impale him with a spear or sever his head with an axe, should he fall asleep while writing, or dawdle. The 'black lotus' featured prominently in many of his stories, and I'm pretty sure that he and his contemporaries, ie; Lovecraft, were frequent users of certain mind altering substances. Pretty sure everyone was on the cocaine those days.
