From a suggestion by Stephen King...
Lovecraft’s Pillow owes its existence to a French book about Lovecraft, the preface of which was penned by the American Horror writer of our time, Stephen King. In the preface King apparently goes to give the readers carte blanche with an idea he has concerning the great weird fiction scribe. King poses a simple idea to the readers: "What if there was a pillow in that window? Just an ordinary pillow in a cotton slip? And suppose somebody curious about why such an item would be on display - a writer like you, maybe - went in and asked about it, and the guy who ran the pawnshop said it was H.P. Lovecraft's pillow, the one he slept on every night, the one he dreamed his fantastic dreams on, maybe even the one he died on." The ideas contained within this simple equation were so bothersome to King that he passed it off to his readers telling them that they were more than welcome to do with the idea what they wanted to
do. [READ MORE]
