Why is HP Lovecraft more popular than ever?

‘We wouldn’t have Ghostbusters if it weren’t for Lovecraft’ … one of Ian Culbard’s illustrations for The Shadow Out of Time

 "Lovecraft made a world where humans are alone, floating on a rock in a terrifying larger universe that we cannot possibly comprehend because our time in it has been so short and we are so insignificant compared to the horrors from the Cthulhu Mythos. So much of modern horror is based on that idea.
 We wouldn't have Ghostbusters if it weren't for Lovecraft – and that's the best argument I can think of for his work." says Erica Henderson.
