Frankly, Wolfe's horror 'tone' strikes me as much closer to Hodgson than
Lovecraft, even though Wolfe perhaps deals more explicitly with Lovecraftian
themes. There is a strange animal terror connected to the more cosmic
and numinous horror and awe in Hodgy that I don't so much find in Lovey but do
find echoed in Wolfe, his Solar monsters especially perhaps - notules, alzabo,
devil fish on spongey island, leatherskin, etc. I have heard WHH
referenced in at least one review of Wolfe.
