OK, yes, two Lovecraft references so far, though 1) neither have been about race, and 2) Johnson appears to have some difficulty keeping straight the relative taxonomies of Great Old Ones, Elder Things, and shoggoths. We all have our faults, I suppose.

I'm trying to figure out my over/under on a Lovecraft reference working its way into this (Poe's Pym was the main influence on At the Mountains of Madness, along with Roerich's paintings). On the con side, it'd be a little random; on the pro side, Johnson's major concern here seems to be race, and Lovecraft had some, er, interesting views on that front.
