By the late 20th century, Lovecraft had become something of a pop-culture icon, resulting in countless reinterpretations of and references to his work. Many of these fall outside the sphere of Lovecraftian horror, but represent Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture. Lovecraft's work, mostly published in pulp magazines, never had the same sort of influence on literature as his high-modernist literary contemporaries such as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. However, his impact is still broadly and deeply felt in some of the most celebrated authors of contemporary fiction. The fantasias of Jorge Luis Borges display a marked resemblance to some of Lovecraft's more dream influenced work. Borges also dedicated his story, "There Are More Things" to Lovecraft, though he also considered Lovecraft "an involuntary parodist of Poe." The controversial French novelist Michel Houellebecq has also cited Lovecraft as an influence and has written a lengthy essay on Lovecraft entitled "" in which he refers to the Cthulhu cycle as "the great texts". Lovecraft's penchant for dreamscapes and for the biologically macabre has also profoundly influenced visual artists such as Jean "Moebius" Giraud and H. R. Giger. Giger's book of paintings which led directly to many of the designs for the film "Alien" was named "Necronomicon", the name of a fictional book in several of Lovecraft's mythos stories. Dan O'Bannon, the original writer of the "Alien" screenplay, has also mentioned Lovecraft as a major influence on the film. With Ronald Shusett, he would later write "Dead & Buried" and "Hemoglobin", both of which were admitted pastiches of Lovecraft. Lovecraft has cast a long shadow across the comic world. This has included not only adaptations of his stories, such as "", "Graphic Classics: H. P. Lovecraft" and MAX's "Haunt of Horror", but also the incorporation of the Mythos into new stories. Alan Moore has touched on Lovecraftian themes, in particular in his "The Courtyard" and "Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths" (and Antony Johnston's spin-off "Yuggoth Creatures"), but also in his "" where the story "What Ho, Gods of the Abyss?" mixed Lovecraftian horror with Bertie Wooster. "Neonomicon" and ""Providence"" posit a world where the Mythos, while existing as fiction written by Lovecraft, is also very real. Gordon Rennie not only used various Lovecraft creations, like the Tcho-Tcho, in his "Necronauts", but he also included Lovecraft himself as a character, teaming up with an influence of his, Charles Fort, a combination that would occur again in "".
