No man, I gotcha. I didn't think you meant "Lovecraftian" to mean "directly inspired by or adapted from Lovecraft." I just assumed you were referring to the style and feel of the thing.
Honestly, Lovecraft is almost a genre unto himself. Like, literally. Have you ever walked into the horror section of a Barnes & Noble? There are more books of fiction written by other authors in the "Lovecraftian" style than there are actual Lovecraft books. I've never actually read any of these, not even the ones with big names like Gaiman of King, because it's basically fan fiction, and I'm not super interested in that. But in addition to all those anthologies that actually declare themselves to be "Lovecraftian," there are also hundreds of books that are heavily influenced by Lovecraft's style without being overt tribute to him.
Blah blah, Sev talk and type too much.
All I mean is, whatwever dude... I trust you. If you say it's "Lovecraftian," I'll check it out, and expect it to tickle those sensors, even if it's not about Cthulhu.
