One eery thing though is that in one of his books he described police placing “fish people” into concentration camps, this being right before the Holocaust.
Obviously racists will come up with similar end goals, and it’s not like concentration camps didn’t exist before, but it’s still feels like a bizarre coincidence.
Yeah, there is definitely an eeriness. The tone taken for the Deep Ones / fish people in The Shadow Over Innsmouth is really genocidal. The story was penned in 1930-31 though, so inspired by prior concentration camps
