Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities (Princeton University, New Jersey); and winner of the Prix Femina Etranger 2005 and the Common Wealth Award for Distinguished Service in Literature 2003.

Lecturer & writer in science fiction/fantasy, media, & Native American studies; 'Scholarly Guest of Honor' for the international 'Gathering of the Fellowship Celebration of J.R.R. Tolkien', 2003. "Cade’s voice and the music become a pas-de-deux of sound, a forceful duet hurling the listener through Lovecraft’s narratives." — David Faucheaux MLIS, Reviewer for Necropsy - the online journal of literary horror, Louisiana State University, May 2006 "David Cade reads with a singular intensity and eloquence, as if dynamically skipping another dimension. Is he channelling H.P. Lovecraft?" — Peter Sharp, Hackham, South Australia. June 2006.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality. Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe. — Wikipedia
