A Look At H.P. Lovecraft's Bizarre Love Life

Much like the spectral creatures of Lovecraft's fiction, little is known about his bond with Greene. After the pair split, Wired claimed Greene (pictured above) burned all of the letters that might have shed more light on their mysterious relationship. Yet the importance of Lovecraft's letters would resurface in the coming years.

Much like the spectral creatures of Lovecraft's fiction, little is known about his bond with Greene. After the pair split, Wired claimed Greene (pictured above) burned all of the letters that might have shed more light on their mysterious relationship. Yet the importance of Lovecraft's letters would resurface in the coming years.

After remarrying, Lovecraft's former flame, who had become Sonia Davis, penned The Private Life of H. P. Lovecraft in 1985. But according to Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein, Greene was forced to remove all quotations of Lovecraft's letters from the memoir — her largest literary work before her death.

Despite this alleged removal, the book revealed tidbits of information about the pair's relationship that gives it some clarity. According to Greene, the pair loved going to the theater and enjoyed dinner out with each other, and Lovecraft stood by her side in the hospital while she was sick. Still, aside from this, the book does little to offer real insight into the pair's domestic life, leaving the day-to-day reality of their time together an enigma.
