Making an Influential Author
The key to making an influential author such as Lovecraft himself includes many characteristics such as the following:
-Someone weird -Use of actual mythos -Someone lonely and introverted -Have the ability to intertwine stories and unintentionally connect them -Have the ability to create your own cosmic world.
Many of these things are one of a kind and it is for that reason that Lovecraft had such an impact on the literary genre. He introduced a concept in which stories are their own, but are in some ways connected to one another, creating his own world basically. Not only did he introduce it well, but he also executed it well and was able to display the distinction of novel and mythos. His very creative work was original which became something other authors could utilize. As his work began to mature and gain more attention after his death, his world of mythos seeped its way into pop culture and other modern series such as:
-Shows -Movies -Music -Writing/books (like other authors such as Stephen King)
