42 Real-life Xenophobia and Opposition Are More Terrifying Than Cthulhu
The Cthulhu horror world created by Lovecraft (also known as "Luo-shi" or "Hand of Love") has increasingly become part of popular culture in recent years. However, he himself was controversial: an anti-Semite who married a Jewish wife, a very gentlemanly racist, and a lover of mysticism and conspiracy theories who believed in science and atheism. Is his thought related to his horror stories? Was he an exception in his time? Why do people like the works of someone with such extreme thoughts? This episode will briefly discuss what lies behind his works, which is more terrifying than Cthulhu.

42 现实中的排外和对立，比克苏鲁更恐怖
洛夫克拉夫特（Lovecraft，又称洛氏、“爱手艺”）创作的克苏鲁恐怖世界，近年来越发成为流行文化的一部分。但他本人充满争议：一个娶了犹太老婆的反犹分子，一个非常绅士的种族主义者，一个相信科学和无神论的神秘学与阴谋论爱好者。他的思想和他的恐怖故事有关吗？他在自己的年代是特例吗？大家又怎么会喜欢这么思想极端的人的作品？本期节目将浅谈在他作品背后，比克苏鲁更恐怖的东西。
