Lovecraft in the 21st Century assembles reflections from a wide range of perspectives on the significance of Lovecraft’s influence in contemporary times. Building on a focus centered on the Anthropocene, adaptation, and visual media, the chapters in this collection focus on the following topics:
- Adaptation of Lovecraft’s legacy in theater, television, film, graphic narratives, video games and game artwork
- The connection between the writer’s legacy and his life
- Reading Lovecraft in light of contemporary criticism about capitalism, the posthuman, and the Anthropocene
- How contemporary authors have worked through the implicit racial and sexual politics in Lovecraft’s fiction
- Reading Lovecraft’s fiction in light of contemporary approaches to gender and sexuality
