H. P. Lovecraft posthumously gained acclaim but there's good reason a lot of horror has been inspired by him.

I think Scott shares a few characteristics of a Lovecraftian themed hero, particularly this quote from Wikipedia:

"Helplessness and hopelessness. Although Lovecraftian heroes may occasionally deal a "setback" to malignant forces, their victories are temporary, and they usually pay a price for it. Otherwise, subjects often find themselves completely unable to simply run away, instead driven by some other force to their desperate end." ([])
