If Lovecraft's heirs are Ligotti and Laird Barron, who are Howard's?
And no don't say Moorcock and Martin you fucking retard
Lovecraft's heirs aren't ligotti or laird barron though
I don't know why people love comparing lovecraft and ligotti when they come from two very different (although similar on a first glance) traditions (gothic/weird anglo vs central european/slavic surrealism)
>>24535931There really aren't any better choices. Ligotti is the heir apparent despite being rooted more in Kafkian hipster tradition. Barron is Ligotti for people who hate irony.
>>24535878 (OP)There aren't any, just like how there isn't any heirs to Tolkien.
You would have more luck looking for Howard's successors among videogame developers than authors. Same goes for Edgar Rice Burroughs.
>>24536045Itsuno is Howard's successor, then
>>24536093Videogames are the new pulps. Deal with it.

>>24535878 (OP)Steven Erikson read a lot of Robert E Howard and Wagner
>>24536546Steven Erikson's writings have absolutely nothing in common with Robert E. Howard's.
