"Lonely"? "Dead inside"? All the evidence suggests that Lovecraft was one of the happiest people who ever lived. His was certainly not a successful life by conventional standards, but this does not appear to have bothered him at all---after all, he managed to realize the dream of becoming an intellectual recluse that he had first conceived at age 4 or so! There is nothing in his writings or correspondence (what I have seen of it) that indicates that he was depressed or psychologically troubled in any way. Odd, yes, but by all accounts a content, charming man who inspired many others with his enthusiasm.
