"Over the last couple of weeks, Reddit users noticed a strange phenomenon unfolding in the comments (even for Reddit). A user named _9Mother9Horse9Eyes was posting elaborate, often disturbing vignettes, mostly about something called "flesh interfaces," on unrelated discussion threads.

Meanwhile, the macabre tales kept coming."
"Our cover story in November’s issue of Rue Morgue is dedicated to 125 years of H.P. Lovecraft.

Still, regardless of those, the continuing and ever-growing influence of this author’s prose cannot be over-estimated. That is why seven important writers, scholars and editors are providing their own Rue Morgue exclusive answers to the same question: WHAT MAKES LOVECRAFT STILL RELEVANT TODAY AND EVEN MORE POPULAR THAN BACK IN HIS DAY?"
