Re: Michel Houellebecq...

There are quite a few such instances, including things where he is "quoting" from Lovecraft letters... but the quotes begin as something similar to familiar ones, but then go off into the blue. The same happens with quotations from stories, and from his Commonplace Book as well....

Frankly, it often struck me as very similar to distortions Derleth had (wittingly or otherwise) perpetrated, albeit with a different slant....
