Re: Season\'s Greeting and Ninja Robots
Lovecraft also wrote (or at least published) earlier than JRRT. Some of his work is old enough to not fall under the various retroactive copyright extensions. It's not clear whether others are covered due to lack of renewal.
More importantly he encouraged other writers to refer to his mythos and there have been many Cthuloid stories written since his death. Many by hacks, but some quite good. Without that it's likely he would be all but forgotten.
