After further clarification, it was all a joke:

(This is what happens all to often on the internet these days. People surf from one site to another and before you know it someone is reading a site like “The Onion”, taking it for real news, passing it onto their ‘friends’ and before you know it it goes viral.)

My B.S. detector is usually pretty good at spotting those things, but that one fooled me! After having read L. Sprague de Camp’s excellent biography of Lovecraft, I learned to what great lengths he went to correspond with fans so this seemed completely plausible. I guess that’s the best way to get people to swallow this kind of thing.
