I tried three samplings.

The first was my typical posting style and H.P. Lovecraft came up for that.

Here's some interesting tidbits. He was born in Rhode Island, a state that I certainly reside in. No biggie. It's the smallest state but thousands of people live here, so that's not creepy. One of his parents had mental health issues. Again, a LOT of people have a parent with mental health issues. He did it all in terms of writing....editing, writing prose, novels, short stories. With the exception of a novel, I've done the same. He married an older woman. I prefer older partners. Died young though. 46. I definitely do not want to have any connection with that. He never really achieved success until he passed. His genre was horror, something I'm not really a fan of, honestly. I've enjoyed a few Stephen King books and the work of Poe, but as a general rule, I do not like horror.

He's buried not too far from me. Maybe I'll head over one day and say hi.


Next, I tried one of my short stories and a poem. Both of them came up Anne Rice.

I think most people are at least vaguely familiar with her work. Mainly The Vampire Chronicles, I'd wager. I didn't know that she wrote Christian literature, though she did eventually distance herself from organized Christianity. She's written erotica, which I love, and has been very successful as a writer. Sharp contrast to Mr. Lovecraft. Hmmmm.....interesting.

So, apparently, I talk like a Northerner (because I write and post like I talk) and a write stories and poetry like a Southerner. Also interesting.
