Peter Cannon

Peter Hughes Cannon (born 1951 in Palo Alto, California, United States) is an editor, H. P. Lovecraft scholar and an author of Cthulhu Mythos fiction.
Cannon's writings on Lovecraft include "The Chronology Out of Time: Dates in the Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft" and "Sunset Terrace Imagery in Lovecraft". He edited Lovecraft Remembered, a collection of reminiscences by friends and acquaintances of Lovecraft, and co-edited More Annotated Lovecraft with S. T. Joshi . He also wrote a personal memoir about another writer in the Lovecraft Circle, "Long Memories: Recollections of Frank Belknap Long."
His fiction includes Pulptime, in which Lovecraft, Long and Sherlock Holmes team up to solve a mystery; Scream for Jeeves: A Parody, which retells some of Lovecraft's stories in the voice of P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster; and The Lovecraft Chronicles, a novel based on Lovecraft's personal life.
He has also written several short stories in the Cthulhu Mythos genre, often with an element of parody. These include "Azathoth in Arkham" and "The Revenge of Azathoth", two sequels to "The Thing on the Doorstep"; "The Undercliffe Sentences", a takeoff on Ramsey Campbell; and "The Madness Out of Space", originally presented as a "lost" story by Lovecraft.
Cannon works as an editor for Publishers Weekly, specializing in the horror genre, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. He lives in New York City and is married with three children.
Cannon was also a member of the Providence Pals, an informal group of H. P. Lovecraft enthusiasts and scholars active from the late 1970s through to the 1990s.
