That Meteor That Made People Sick

Ray Huling wrote a nice piece for The Escapist about the meteor that hit Peru and subsequently made people sick.

"The event would have piqued Lovecraft's interest, as it embodies the ideology behind his writing. Lovecraft wrote to convey his idea of cosmic indifference. The universe doesn't intend to sicken us with meteorites, but the meteorites come; the sickness happens."
Gamers and Robert E. Howard fans should also check out Huling's article on Conan, also for The Escapist.
