The blog has a new look (like my brother's...sort of a Tacik branding effort) and new title, but I'm keeping "consult this" as the address. I always liked how it's typed out: consult...this...blogspot.com

Well, back to business...how about some writers that influenced Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy:

HP Lovecraft
Robert E. Howard
M.R. James
Seabury Quinn - mostly his character, Jules De Grandin
William Hope Hodgson
Manly Wade Wellman
Clark Ashton Smith
August Derleth
Edgar Rice Burroughs
World folklore
World mythology

How about writers whom HP Lovecraft admired:

Edgar Allen Poe
Robert E. Howard
Arthur Munchen
M.R. James
Lord Dunsany
Algernon Blackwood

I'm trying to read all of Mignola, all of Lovecraft, and everyone who influenced both of these guys.
