I recently interviewed Dr. Robert M. Price about his two major literary interests: horror/fantasy fiction (especially the work of H.P. Lovecraft) and religious texts (especially the Bible). Press play above to hear the full conversation, during which we discuss, among other things, the essential Lovecraftian texts, the forthcoming Lovecraftian Pentateuch, Lovecraft’s racism and the scourge of “chronological snobbery,” Lovecraft as the indie author par excellence, the scholarship of S.T. Joshi, the influence of Lord Dunsany, the Necronomicon, “spectral fiction” vs. “weird fiction,” Joseph Campbell, Paul Tillich, Nicolas Cage, the Book of Isaiah and the mysterium tremendum et fascinans, teenage fundamentalism, the human (as opposed to the divine) wisdom of the Bible, the Satanic schtick of Dr. Ammon Hillman, the pagan continuity hypothesis of Brian Muraresku, the Gospel of Mark, and how Dr. Price balances the Jekyll and Hyde aspects of his literary life. Give us a like, book-burner, and please follow Dr. Price at his official home page and on Amazon.
