History
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, also known as H.P. Lovecraft, is horror writer who opened a door to Purgatory on March 10, 1937. A creature that came through killed him five days later. The murdering creature may have been Eleanor Visyak, though she denies murdering him.
6.21 Let It Bleed
Bobby visits a Lovecraft enthusiast, Judah. When he asks about the date that Moishe Campbell visited Lovercaft, Judah tells him about the dinner party Lovecraft held on that day attended by six friends who Judah describes as "ço-worshippers in a black magic cult." They perform a ritual to open a door to an alternate dimension. They think it hasn't worked, but each of them die or disappear within a year. Unbeknownst to them, a creature has come through and possesses Lovecraft's maid Eleanor. Only her 9 year old son Westborough realizes this, and he is not believed but committed to a psychiatric institution.
