A "mechanistic materialist" was what HPL called himself, that's true, and by all accounts he was utterly incapable of seriously entertaining the notion of the supernatural actually existing in any shape or form. That hasn't stopped Burleson and others from pointing out that "The Dunwich Horror" could quite easily be construed as a parody of the Gospels...
