I have heard that Lovecraft wrote of Cthulhu in a fictional sense. Did he write any non-fiction books?

Not entire books, but he wrote a massive amount of non-fiction articles and essays that were published. His prefered subjects were science, philosophy, writing, society, politics and psychology, though he later confessed being ashamed of his work in the latter topics since, living as a recluse for most of his life, he actually had no knowledge of human relations save what he could observe in himself. When his mother died and he started living for real, his outlook changed greatly and he considered his previous opinion "uninformed and intolerant bull." (there was a long list of pejoratives but I don't remember them all)
