Occasionally someone familiar with Robert M. Price as a writer on religion comes across the same name attached to books related to H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, etc., and inevitably wonders if it could possibly be the same person. The horror writer and the religion writer are indeed the Jeckyll and Hyde sides of the same fellow.
