Who is truly the better author?  Now I know that this is going to set off the mother of all fanboy and fangirl debates but someone has to ask this question.

Only Lovecraft died due to night terror and nightmare induced stress.

They said Lovecraft's nightmares would kill any ordinary man out of heart stress.    And his night terrors would be more horrific than most other horror authors could take.     Tolkien was more pleasant, his stories were about hope, how mankind is god's favorite, the triumph of good over evil, nature over industry, and equality.  Lovecraft's stories were about hopelessness, the utter lack of importance the world has in the universe, that if there was a god he would not give a tiny sh!t about us, how good and evil are meaningless, and how fragile our way of life really is.

Currently Sauron and Cthulhu are what both authors are most known for.  Sauron's copyright will never expire as Tolkien has had formal heirs, Cthulhu's copyright expired before the invention of television as Lovecraft only married for 5 years, then either his wife died or divorced, and his marriage was a sexless one.

Donald Goings would die of a heart attack if he had a Lovecraft nightmare.

Fear is to Lovecraft as Hope is to Tolkien.
