Summary

Early 20th-century American author of cosmic horror stories including the source “The Colour Out of Space.” Personal letters and views included racism, xenophobia, and anti-immigrant positions typical of segments of his era and background. No record of left-leaning political activity, activism, or identity-driven advocacy; his body of work and philosophy emphasized human insignificance alongside often traditional or hierarchical perspectives for the time.
